Who: DragonMaiden #302788

What: Attempting to sell art from doll-making games even when original artists state they do not have permission to do so

Why: Tried selling adoptables for FR currency using art from doll-making games and refused to credit the original artists and then refused to admit blame. Ignored the FR rules and tried to scam unaware buyer’s by getting them to pay for otherwise free services. 

When: November 19th 2017

Explain:

DragonMaiden posted the initial adoptable threads and was met with a response telling them they need to credit the original artists. DM responded that the watermarks on the images were enough credit. Multiple people then chimed in and informed DM that it was unethical to sell adoptable art that was not their own, without credit. DM proceeded to state their sales thread was ok because they hadn’t actually sold anything yet. When confronted with the fact that some of the doll artists did not give permission for others to sell their art, they quickly shut down and claimed the commentators were nothing but drama starters and didn’t see what they did was wrong despite the multiple explanations and examples. Then began backpedaling and began to take down the thread before it was ultimately removed by mods.
