@artsdesireable Two people?!? Dear God, the audacity!! People like that don't have the right to be here!!

@artsdesireable what a shame darling. I adore your artwork and would hate to see you go, but I totally get the feeling of violation. Interestingly, while this happened a lot to me on PV, it’s never happened here (at least not that I know of).
In one instance that I was made aware of that another member posted on here, public shaming fixed the issue. The person who was copied posted their set and the copier’s set for everyone to see and the copier deleted their account and was never heard from again (at least not under the same name). I’m not suggesting you do that, but just to let you know that from the responses, it was clear that copying would not be tolerated by URStyle members.
I was getting quite complacent until your post. Several members post the “Do Not Copy” pact on their profile page like we did on PV, but I never have here, because I didn’t think it was as huge a problem. I guess as the site gets more popular, stupid stuff like this from minimally talented people pimping for “likes” is inevitable.

That's how I handled a Copycat of mine and it worked like a charm. I kept making Sets for them to copy -- UGLY Sets with their User Name on them. It stopped her -- AND it was fun. Have a look starting with the Set called:
Home, Fashion, AND Doll Set for the Creatively Challenged

@funkyjunkygypsy
yup. Sometimes when they go low, we have to hunt them down and get dirty! -
@funkyjunkygypsy HAHA! Now that's positive problem solving!
-
@fassionista Amen, Sister! It's not even stooping to their level. It's mockery, which is quite shame-inducing. Sad it has to be used at all, but it IS effective! 🤪
-
@rainheartart Yes! And again: FUN!!!
-
@funkyjunkygypsy totally!

@fassionista Unfortunately, there's always some kind of unethical element on social media sites. This is the 3rd time I've heard of Set theft on URStyle in the last 3 years. I experienced it with Polyvore once and none here. It's always good to safeguard your Sets the best way you know how.

@funkyjunkygypsy -looked at them and them are brilliant.
May have to resort to your revenge tactics! -
@artsdesireable Please do!!! Or allow me! Jut message me the User name. I love this goofy stuff! xox

@artsdesireable I started a new thread on this topic because I suspect a misunderstanding has occurred.
