I think the word you're looking for is "schmuck." And yes, s/he is. |

Her old posts are interesting. Here's one that looks like it might belong to a DPC member. "Her 10 year old son took it".
Does it look familiar? I've contacted the member I thought it might belong to.

OMIGOD!! Someone stole a picture of mine! I'm thrilled! OK. Now that's passed. Now I'm pissed. Think I shall go leave a note...
Argh! That's MY cat, dammit! (Actually, it's my cat Emma, but that's beside the point.) |

| Everyone keep in mind that the thieves are individuals who happen to be users of the Two Peas web site. The web site itself and the community of users there are probably just like us: people who enjoy their craft and like to share with like minded people. For those of you posting in the "ethical misconduct" thread over there, please be careful that you don't come across as wagging your finger at the site. If you read the thread, you'll see that their users are as outraged by this incident as we are. |

No, schmutz is the word I wanted... it's a cross between a schmuck and a putz. You can feel free to use it whenever you'd like, no copyright infringement problems at all. ;)

Most sites (including DPC) will temporarily lock the users account until an investigation is complete. Once completed they will either remove the offending images and possibly suspend / ban the user depending on the severity of the case. |
Hmmm, possibly? It's one thing to post someone else's pic and allow people to think it's yours, but these folks (and many others) are clearly (and pathetically) claiming they took them. On any site that allows people to post images, this should be an automatic BUH-BYE! And if it was me, I would leave a placeholder "Page of Shame" where their profile used to be - only to be replace with a formal written apology by the user.

Did you used to have another username? I was trying to find the owner of the so-called "Sarah" pic, and I knew I'd seen it... but I didn't remember it with your name. Then again, I'm old and the ol' memorybanks ain't what they used to be... |

| As a 2Peas member, I was stunned to read the thread about this person stealing your (collective) images. Just wanted you all to know they are gorgeous, and deserving of attention (just not this sort of attention). If you read the thread on 2Peas, it appears that the culprit's website has been found. It's on the 4th page of the thread, most of the way down the page. |
