Joined my Discord just to copy my GFX basically 1:1.

Normally no big deal as Inferno/GFXs can be fairly similar. However its safe to say the bottom text is the icing on the cake. He essentially rebranded my GFX under his own name without my permission to use my GFX layout.

 

@Zrk please explain yourself.

hey guys,

I won't deny that I used Bolty's image as a reference. I made some basic changes, but I used it as a base.
I didn't think that would be a problem. I know the rules about plagiarism, I just didn't think it would be an issue. I apologize for that. I'll be changing some things on the banner so it doesn't look as similar.

just the Inferno one, or does the Colosseum one need to be changed too? I made it quite different. I'm not arguing, just a genuine question.

@Zrk using someone else's graphics for inspiration is fine, but these do look very similar.
The text at the bottom is an exact copy.

The rest is also a fairly obvious copy although you did make a couple of changes there.

As this is considered plagiarism, I'll have to issue a 1 month ban for the offense.
Please take this time to familiarize yourself with our rules and ensure you make sufficient changes to your designs.
