Is it possible to block someone from an open community on LJ?

[novindalf]

25djadja has been repeatedly stealing my icons, modifying them slightly, and then claiming as her own - all without asking or crediting me. I asked her to stop doing it, she denied she was doing it, and has since continued doing it. I commented on her latest batch where she'd stolen my icons, only for the comment to be promptly deleted, me blocked from commenting on her journal, and me blocked from PM-ing her. Frankly I'm pissed off with her stealing my work, and I'd like to block her from viewing my graphics comm so that she can't do it to me any more. Is this even possible? I don't want to have to make my comm private =/

Oh, and jsyk, here are the icons of mine she's stolen, and 'her' icons made from mine. It's not just me she's taken icons from - sky_magenta, julie_izumi, biliki, theladymorgan, ladykate63, jammeke, confessoralana, schryosel, nim4, responsiveness (on RHFC), alisea_dream, nightwatchman89 (on RHFC), simply_aly, equanimousicons, themirrorofsin & liona5 have all had their work stolen, and these are just the 72 icons we know about so far. My icons are on the left, 'hers' are on the right, and all match up perfectly in PowerPoint.

It's that last one that REALLY annoys me, but I'm rather hacked off about all of them tbh. I don't fucking care if her icons look better, I'm pissed off and she shouldn't be doing it. [/rant for now]

Thanks for bringing this to attention. :/ Do you have links to the posts where your icons appeared, and where her copies appear? (Time stamped, preferrably)

[novindalf]

Yep, I'm being very meticulous about this - and I'm screenshotting all her entries with stolen icons so that she can't later edit the entry and deny everything.

Details are listed in the same order as the icons are posted above.

well shit. Thanks for this. The only community I run in which she's posted I believe is this one, with this post (here (http://guyxmarian.livejournal.com/329512.html#cutid1)) I don't know if anything in there is stolen, but I'll keep an eye out now.

[novindalf]

Well the 18th & 22nd icons of that batch are definitely stolen, from Morgan/theladymorgan.

Her batch there was originally posted here: http://25djadja.livejournal.com/1044.html - 23rd October 2011

The 18th icon original is here: http://robinhoodbbc.yuku.com/sreply/57673/Morgan-s-Fanart-Multifandom-Updated-8-5--Natasha-Romanoff-Bl - 28th August 2011

The 22nd is here: http://robinhoodbbc.yuku.com/sreply/57673/Morgan-s-Fanart-Multifandom-Updated-8-5--Natasha-Romanoff-Bl - 29th August 2011

Ok, well, I'm going to have to talk to my co-mod about this. Thank you again!

[novindalf]

You're welcome =)

[cleo-eurydike.livejournal.com]

just to make sure I'm looking at the right stuff, you are referring to these icons that 25djadja posted:


and Aurora's was

(can't really tell which is the second one you're talking about?)

[novindalf]

Aurora's? Slightly confused =P These are the icons I mean:

>>>
theladymorgan >>> 25djadja

>>>
theladymorgan >>> 25djadja

[cleo-eurydike.livejournal.com]

ah sorry, I think I saw Aurora's name on the page somewhere and assumed it was the same person (you know how on Yuku boards you change your name but it still shows up with your old name sometimes?)

thank you again!

[novindalf]

Not a problem =)
