Today while i was checking a topic in the market place, i saw someone called vasx1993 banned and the reason was "Stealing" Ruyi's avatar, I don't see whats the problem here? He stole your fortune? Totally unfair.

It was a spambot, or moron breaking some rules.
The message, can be read as an attempt at comedy.
So, he's not just banned for stealing Ru's avatar.

Correct me if I m wrong. Thanks. He's probably banned for doing something against SRF's TOS. Not stealing an avatar, i hope. The avatar stealing thing, probably can be read as an attempt at comedy. Not like anyone should get banned for 'stealing' an avatar. Property issues.

people have in the past been banned for ripping someone else's signatures. as in taking them and using them as their own without permission. this all had to do with copyrights and the simple fact that you just don't go and take something someone else put a lot of effort in.

Well, how could you know if the avatar he stole was taken by the original one from Google, do these rights still apply, and thus result in him getting banned? To make it a little bit more clear, my avatar is from Google, if someone else on these forums comes up with the same avatar, he will get banned? And how would you know if it is copyrighted or no, or I just got it simply from Google, unless I stated it?

Lol, that person got banned for some other reason. Cinny was just being funny when he said that. I would know, I had that quote it my sig for a while.

Wouldn't it be easier to email or private message the mod who acted rather than bringing it up here?

Im sure if someone intentionally, or unintentionally took a mods Avatar, they'd just be asked to change it.
If they refused to change it, most likely one of the admins would change it for them.
If neither of these resolve the issue, then a temp ban slap on the wrist might go out.
If your worry is, you have the same avatar as someone else, even by accident, and your perma banned on the spot for it, then your worrying a little bit too much imo
