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

[livejournal.com profile] 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 - [livejournal.com profile] sky_magenta, [livejournal.com profile] julie_izumi, [livejournal.com profile] biliki, [livejournal.com profile] theladymorgan, [livejournal.com profile] ladykate63, [livejournal.com profile] jammeke, [livejournal.com profile] confessoralana, [livejournal.com profile] schryosel[livejournal.com profile] nim4, responsiveness (on RHFC), [livejournal.com profile] alisea_dream, nightwatchman89 (on RHFC), [livejournal.com profile] simply_aly, [livejournal.com profile] equanimousicons, [livejournal.com profile] themirrorofsin & [livejournal.com profile] 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]

I found 6. It's Aurora's from Round 7 of the RHFC 20in20. It's AC #5 from her set. You'll have to forgive me for not linking - I'm still trying to figure out how things like that work on LJ commenting...but I put them next to each other on the MS Word doc I'm doing my Developmental Biology homework on and they're identical save for where she tried to edit out the green filter Aurora used. You can still see part of it on Marian's sleeve, which should be blue with that editing if it came from the original cap if I'm not wrong.

I know I've seen 7 & 9 before somewhere. I don't have originals, though I have a faint sneaking suspicion I know where 9 came from.

I think it might be from Schryosel's RHFC art thread. I may be wrong, though. I know I've seen it or something very similar before

I also figured out 7 a few minutes ago - it's not identical, but it is extremely similar to DreamersScape's winning Cold icon from the RHFC 20in20 Round 2. The crop is slightly different and the original is a bit of a monochrome brown, but it's similar enough that it is clearly based on it, like how she based one of her Marian icons on mine but made the crop very slightly different.

Not a surprise. I also continually get who made which icon mixed up because I've seen so many icons on the boards. I think that one's from there, somehow, though. I'll keep looking, though.
