One used Longc55. Got my site
http://warriorcats5771023classic1.wetpaint.com
Longc55 got WCF reported to here. She has been banned from multiple site's and has had to previously banned from mine for copyright. Please please please IP ban her. She has also randomly left my site, after destroying my pages (Deleting them or clearing the content) and she has messed up things for my successful sites. WCF hit a home run and got alot of members, but we were reported because she took content. I confronted her about the copyright, and she claimed she made it. She even had the nerve to (On Warrior Cat Clans 2) steal content and use it for her contest entry. She needs to be IP banned because I think she has another account called Horsecl

Hello, my name is Sak. I'm the head administrator of a warriors RPG site, Rising Heart (www.risingheart.wetpaint.com). I've tried working it out with some of the workers on the site that copyrighted our entire homepage along with chibis drawn by the creator of the site. Their website is: http://warriorcats5771023classic1.wetpaint.com

Could you please help?

Hello I am the leader of P.C. I want to report a site that has clearly copied at least evreything and every word of my site http://perfectedcrusation.wetpaint.com/
The site with the content is http://joinsrp.wetpaint.com/
I have asked for it to be removed, i also have asked that i will help with the layout if they wish for it otherwise i would in fact report. Im quite annoyed that this has happened. Please can you get it sorted out As soon as possible.
Also They have said they have had this layout before P.C. But i know that is not true. They have copied EVERY word EVERY Picture. And still claim it is their own. P.C has had this layout longer than a day unlike them. They have Edited their site TODAY or YESTERDAY.
Many thanks
