Mmkay first of all, is there a funny story behind you getting banned from 4chan? Because if there is I would like to hear it for my own amusement. XD

Buuut other than that, I do the same thing a lot. I'll google image seach most of the images for my icons then do stuff with it from there. I have a lot of stuff saved to my hard drive, but personally as you can probably tell a lot of the stuff I use is from doujinshi (...usually the same artist too. I have a preference >>;)

BUT yeah. I'm glad you're not mad. >_< I didn't wanna upset anyone by implementing this rule or anything, but I think it's more fair to do it this way just... morally. Or something.

It's more of a stupid story. I got banned via wrong place wrong time. I don't know how it happened but my IP apparently spammed them. And I'm now permanently banned from all boards for spamming. Even though I never actually did it that I'm aware of. :|

If you're worried someone is going to find the icons and bitch, I wouldn't be since this is such a small site and most of those weirdos lurk on LJ though I do remember once this girl from DeviantArt found out I made an icon from a picture she drew and she left me a really nasty anonymous comment about how I was disrespectful and that I needed to take down that icon immediately or else! (Or else what? No, really). Because she was such a cunt about it I just made the entry members only and made fun of her. Because, wtf. Even if I violated your rules you should be more professional than name-calling. Respect isn't deserved, it's earned.

That's like my cell phone. My current number is like. Cursed. I get all sorts of random text messages from people who don't know me and don't know each other, or completely blank text messages, or sometimes nonsensical ones and SOMETIMES people screaming at me for not leaving them alone and I'm like "D: I don't even know who the hell you are woman."

Yeah I know, but it's just sort of the right thing to do. I guess it's like if the fanartists started claiming that the character design and name and all that stuff was their own idea, 'cept on a smaller scale. Like I said, morally, it's right to do it this way. I know that I wouldn't have to worry about that sort of thing on Scribbld since there are so few people here, but y'know, it's just something good to do.

No that's fine and good that you want to do what you perceive to be morally correct. I personally disagree, but I respect your views. :)

Though I do laugh at the overreacty nasty comment. I find that just asking nicely tends to always work a lot better than an onslaught of childish name-calling and possibly cursing.

The way I figure it, if you wouldn't say something that you wouldn't say unless you were anonymous, you probably shouldn't say it to begin with.

Unless it's just to screw with someone jokingly. Like commenting on a neighbor's post anonymously and being like "8o) I know where you live~ <3" or something. Just to mess with their head. That is acceptable. The only times I ever go anon are if I don't feel like creating an account for something. XD;
