Sigh is all I can say
I know this goes on a lot and it is upsetting people but really this goes a bit far
There is a player by the name of pitbullboxer31 that is targetting people and stealing their builds
He is now having a ball stealing my creations and writing on my wall.
He has even had maxis nominations in the noms thread for other peoples work he stole
Will maxis ever do something about players like this? They need to be banned from being able to put anything on the gallery as its obviously misuse of it.
I dont understand why something more isnt being done about these people, you will just lose the good players and the bad will stay.
I know some people dont care about the stealing but it really is disrespectful and though you may not think its stealing because your creations belong to maxis, when they post on those builds stating they built it is outright lying and wrong.
I would love some feedback from some guru's about this issue and also anyone else thats having stolen work issues post them
You can prove it was yours but the date you originially uploaded onto the gallery.
Sorry if this offends anyone but when someone is outright targetting good players and nice people I just have to speak up.
I would also suggest you all go check his gallery to see if he stole your work also.

Wouldn't this fall under harassment?
edit: I just took a peek at his page, and uh, it is pretty blatantly obvious what he's doing, so I imagine it'd be enough for EA to actually do something.
He is going out of his way to take that off and then write its his
He is also targetting players and harrassing them with this, he has made comments on peoples profiles that he had his own work stolen several times and if he cant beat them he will join them
He has also stated that he doesnt care who it hurts in the process and he is going to continue doing it
It is harrassment and in a situation like this he well deserves a ban from being allowed to upload

If nothing is done good people will get sick of it stop playing and stop uploading and all that will be left is these bad people doing it to more people
Get rid of bad (lower in numbers) or run the risk of losing a lot more good players

Total waste of effort for sure.
Edit: @Cbear13 I don't know if it's just my searching but he seemed to have disappeared from the gallery. (Or is that because I reported him? lol ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Hopefully karma can find him and others like him sooner than later.
Also just wanted to commend you guys for sticking up for each other and coming together when problems persist. Good people you all are.
Keep on Simming! Xo

I am lucky that I am a nothing builder and don't have anything worth stealing, but I do feel for everyone that has had their builds stolen.
