Examples:
Nathan's Fluorescent Tanks (uploaded 7/13/2004) vs KillerTank's Bright Brawl (uploaded 11/20/2004)

Dark Forest by Lithium vs Night Time Fight by KillerTank

FP's Azazel Special vs KillerTank's Street Breat

Billy Bob's American Flag skin vs KillerTank's Super Skin

I would like to have the copycat skins removed from the Library.

I am looking into this matter ! They are exact copies of one another if not copied to begain with. I well get back to you on this matter, waiting to hear from DanMac. The first skin listed out of every pair is the real one ! B)

That's why I listed it first. XD Also look at KillerTank's Matrix skin - it's copied from one posted in the forums, but evidently never loaded into the Library.

Wow! Now those are some real sloppy copies! B)

The WOW tank loaded by KillerTank is the only one of his that I can not identify where it came from. I'd be willing to bet it's a copy though... The initials TD are on the bottom of the tank... XO

I can identify it.

The skin was made by TankDork quite some time ago, you can see it on his website Here .

That's the one.

Sadly, unfortunately, I cannot think of a single practical way to keep this from happening again.

Another,

MATRIX Skin uploaded by Killertank is an EXACT copy of HankyTanky's Matrix 2003 skin.

the sweetest skin uploaded by SPARK#3 is an EXACT copy of the NORMAL skin by BraveTree

Sorry I can't make my own can u forgive me I'll stop.

I understand you can't skin good yet,but copying people's hard work is stooping to the lowest level,practice makes...Good skinners.

K

I have emailed DanMac on this issue. We Moderators have no control of the Skin Library. So killerTank can you delete those skins other wise DanMac will have to do this ? Let me know if you can take care of this or not. Also I am looking into a preventative measures so this never happens again ! :[

UPDATE :
I have heard from DanMac ! He is looking to fixing this matter. B)

The reason I do this is because I try 2 paste the blank skin 2 make my own but it doesn't work.Thats why I copy other's work

Nothing wrong with using other's work on your computer . But the Skin Library has nothing to do with that. That's where you publish your skins for others to download and use.

Do you know how to change your skins on your computer?

Yes

Well, I think I know why he keeps copying. When your done skinning something, you supposed to click on"File" and lcick on "Save".

I can't because I try 2 open the file of the blanh skin but it never comes up.

Huh?

It comes up blank

What OS are you using?

Change it to.jpg

I opened to file, I went under my pictures, found the pic of the blank skin and tried to open it but it came out blank. I'll keep trying this, any other suggestions?

I know why, you aren't an administrator on Windows, so you can't edit files.
