Forget this guy. He smelled the coin and got greedy. Nothing you say will change his mind. Story is as old as the bible. He shits on anything just to make his little website work. He isn't the first, he won't be the last. Let the site administration deal with it and report him.
I'm sorry. I'm not some rich greedy guy. I'm just a kid trying to make something. From the comments that I was getting (and continue to get, besides this), it seemed like everyone was just appreciating my posts. I didn't mean any harm.
Moatib already banned my account without any warning. That's it I guess. Sorry I bothered you so much. Bye.
Open your eyes. The comments here are negative and not positive. Take your pictures off before worse happens. You may only be a kid, but it will not save you from lawyers coming after you and taking away your computer and what little else you posses to compensate the people who you took from without their permission and infringing copyright laws.
Every picture you post here must be your work or come with the author's permission to post it here. Otherwise it is theft.
The few good comments you got are likely from people who trusted you in having these permissions or believing that it is all your work. They will change their mind the moment they realize you are a fraud. It is time for you to stop.
The thing about wallpapers though, is that no one sells wallpapers. Wallpapers are made to be shared. I am merely sharing them. I have received 0 complaints from the actual authors of the wallpapers.
You all are getting offended for them? You seem pretty engaged in something that really isn't about you.
No. This is dumb of you to say. Just because you cannot find anyone to sell you wallpapers doesn't mean someone else can steal them and sell them to you. The wallpapers here have a license and you better respect them. This should not require any explanation by the way.
And the longer this argument keeps going on the less people will put their work up here, because once people learn that their art here is being sold and their names removed, perhaps even replaced, will no respectable artist put any of their work up here. Is this what you want?
To my knowledge, I have not taken any wallpapers from artists on this site.
Also, I'm not selling anything. I'm just sharing it.
"...perhaps even replaced" I have never intentionally claimed to be the creator of one of the wallpapers I've posted that I didn't create.
Your whole argument is based on me stealing content from this site. Which is something I have not done at all. Please understand what is going on before spewing your opinions here.
Sorry, but I can't understand the purpose of what you're doing here! You're taking hundreds of wallpaper everywhere on internet without any respect of their original creators and the original licenses of their creations, then put them on your own website (with ads, of course) and polute opendesktop.org, gnome-look.org, kde-look.org, etc. with hundreds of download links that lead us to your own website (with ads, of course). There is a name for that, a spammer, and spammers are usually banned from opendesktop.org and its derivatives.
First of all, I'm didn't scam anyone. I didn't mean to spam either. You're the first negative feedback I've gotten. All the other feedback about it has been positive. Now, my account that I've had since I first got into Linux has been "locked". Sorry, there was a glitch and this particular wallpaper didn't upload to my site correctly, but I can't fix it now anyway because my account is locked. I had to create this account just to comment.
I'm guessing you're an admin? You seem to be the only person that doesn't like what I've been doing. You can PM this account if you want or just reply to this, either way. Ideally, I'd like it if you re-enabled my account and allowed me to continue.
Some of the comments that I got before you:
"Thanks !
Hello, thank you very much for all these great
pictures!"
"Yay Wallpapers!
You always find and pick very nice wallpapers. I
hope your site is doing well. I like how clean it
is compared to other wallpaper sites. they aren't
Creative Commons but they are nice for personal
use."
"Nice!
I love your wallpaper website you have awesome
stuff. Honestly very simple and easy to get great
wallpapers."
"Nice!
Nice photo. Good color balance!"
And a lot more of course, but basically. As far as I can remember, you are the first negative commenter I've gotten. Let me know what you think. Thanks.

"did you mirroring other wallpaper pages or just
kidding us with this all-not-your-work things?"
And other complains agains your use of a Creative Commons license on these "all-not-your-work things".
You posted more than 120 wallpapers here since the mid of February 2016 without any credit for their original creators without any information on their license and/or legal notice and of course, none of them are your own artworks.
Hey man. While I understand what your saying. You do know that this kind of thing has been happening here sine like 2004 right? And it happens on like every wallpaper website they just take everyones stuff. It's hard to copyright a wallpaper.
But you where successful in your endeavorers you forced him off the website.
Now please start adding stuff to make up for him leaving...

... And thieves do not steal. Thieves borrow on their own terms and conditions! Excuses, all thieves have plenty of them, just like you do.

I accidentally used Creative Commons. I fixed that over a year ago though.
Do you have some kind of weird ego thing that you have to super-downvote every comment I make?
You posted more than 120 wallpapers here since the mid of February 2016 without any credit for their original creators without any information on their license and/or legal notice and of course, none of them are your own artworks.
