//I hate to be the one bringing back news but recently in the RP community a lot of hacking has been going around and people are getting harassed, misunderstood and irrational actions are being taken.
For instance today a wonderful RPer by the username
ItalianAmore was harassed by a
HACKED account known as
cute-and-SHY.
Please read this to see that yes they were hacked and the comments left on ItalianAmore's profile page were by the hacker and not original account owner cute-and-shy.deviantart.com/jo…Now the original owner of Cute-and-Shy can be found here
Italy--Feliciano Their side of the story can be found here -> fav.me/d5alyn0 Lastly I'd like to call attention to
jail-bait-romano supposedly wrote a journal about committing suicide.
They were also supposedly hacked and there side of the story can be found here -> sandusky10.deviantart.com/jour… This person doesn't need any harassment back either.
Please take notice that a lot of this hacking has been going on so before jumping onto the bandwagon of a situation please try to find the full story. We RPers are civil and here to have fun. We don't need the drama.
ONE MORE NOTE:
I was going to do an RP journal but instead this is a public service announcement.
To all RP accounts, users and ect.
Pictures used on RP accounts are for decoration only. They are not used for profitable advertisement nor are these RP accounts owners taking credit for any Artist's work that isn't their own. We always oblige artists for their hardwork and show off their art in a way different on our accounts. Please do not harass us as art thieves. WE AREN'T.
EDIT:
I would also recommend that if you do use a picture which is not yours, do not put it up as a deviation. Deviations are under copyrighted content, and that can get you in trouble. On the other hand, anything that is placed in profiles and journals are not copyrighted and are free to use. ((Thank this to
TheItalianDevil))
Also heard that
is a great resource for almost anything deviantart related (thank the above person again). Any questions can be kindly asked to them.
Here is a website that can help find the sources of pictures used for RP profiles found on pixiv
saucenao.com/ ((Thanks to
))
Another tip is instead of putting up a deviation for the id, use the html coding in the da id section it works just as well as submitting an id, though some photos need to be resized. ((Thanks to
))
Thank you.
