*smdh* Wow that's crazy. He dont care who poems he takes... he just a thirsty mf thinking only for himself taking all credits. If I dont hear from the admin at Fetlife... I'm thinking of putting him on blast at Fetlife forum till my voice is heard and actions to take my poem down.


may not be a bad idea, if you're not a frequent user.  
i've received a warning for naming & shaming him in a writing on my profile. they have a three strikes before banning policy and i'm on my second for the same offence.
after the whole reaps thing got out of hand, they're really full of crap, so just follow the proper channels unless you're okay with losing your account.

an A'rab stole my i'dentity....................

Betcha the 'reason' this person does such silly shit is tweak Poetic Vanities into "oh, dear me! My Soul has been violated!!!!"

You know....just simple mindfucking of ego's Sacred Places..........If someone thinks 'stealing' poetry is going to get them fame, riches, laid, fellated,or even enough to make a halfassed 'living', they are stupider, mo'pathetic, than we are when we think we're 'so special' because wee be such sensitive poetic souls..........time spent better just writing yr shit rather than doing all the silly self-righteous footwork that is probably the main point of this 'theft'. Lottsa folks get kicks outta "I'm gonna make them dance like fools over them Selfs"...............okay.......now, forget i said anything

That's a wonderful ideal... I came from a poetry site that used to have one like that... non members or members cant copy/pastes a whole poem... but the owner of the poetry site removed it during construction and upgrade of the site... not sure why.

sometimes, people like to quote lines of a poem they're  commenting on so the copy paste is used a fair bit in that context, and copy pasting poems into competitions n such things, so  total ban on copy-pasting may not be plausible. this site has many members who come here specifically to take poems. they end up all over the place in different sites

..plus there is a cost involved

clearly this site has the best poets and all the thieves know it  <-  I made a poetry

tiny gods, i hate those forms. steve  was an incredible help when i had photos nicked from there so he'll get you through the process alright.
i've spoken to a few friends there about getting the entire account removed but that's easier done when it's stolen images...

You think it is okay to download music and movies without permission? (if you do that, you're in bbbbig trouble)

You might find that is illegal, unless you are paying money for it or it is an authorised free download, unlicensed etc (still cannot claim it as your own creation though)

his profile's still there. if all you're seeing is his photo, age, role & location... he's blocked you. i double checked with my babygirl's account & she's able to see the entire profile, which means the spunk trumpet blocked me too.

even if you can't view the writings & report those, there's still the "report user" function
