If you saw another forum that stole a post (or "rip") from your forum, what would you do? Even a skin rip, as tiny as it would be. Like an image, CSS or HTML coding, etc. I would politely notify the administrator of the forum with the rip on it to try and remove the content and punish the member for ripping it. What would you do?
Depends how big, it could be anything from asking the member to remove it, or give me credit, to banning him or getting legal action taken if it was copyrighted.
I would tell the admin of the forum that the person is mainly on. Or I would just get the person to add a copy right or something and that is if its a code or not. If its an image then I would just want them to give credit that I have made it.
Post on forums warning about the user, and if it an image he directly hotlinked off you (how stupid) then you just replace the image with something like 'I AM A RIPPER PANDEMIXX.COM COPYRIGHT'
It is, I know many people who have used that technique, I am sure I and a lot of other people can think of more imaginative solution /cough pr0n /end cough
You could do that by looking up the whois of their domain but that would be extreme and not worth the money spent
