Repeated stolen pictures

Hello,

Apologies if this is the incorrect place to raise this issue.

I noticed a few weeks ago someone has been taken and used my photos from my profile on their own.

I followed the usual procedures of reporting the profile, which was blocked by admin within 48 hours. However, this person has repeatedly started a new profile and stolen the same pictures from my profile at least 4 times in the space of 2 weeks, so the report the profile action is a short term fix.

I have noticed that the profile is located within a mile via 'mobile distance' - which is concerning.

I have also messaged the profile directly and being blocked by the 'owner', each time.

I see no other method in how to combat this behaviour and looking for a permanent fix or at least advice.

Kind regards.

Sadly, might be the only way.

It's just a little disturbing there is no offered method to combat repeated misuse.

I had the same problem, I watermark now but tbh it's not much of a deterrent. There's not much you can do other than keep reporting it. I've had it happen a few times and eventually they give up if they keep getting kicked off, or they at least go and steal somebody else's pictures.

You're right, it really isn't.

As I work with images daily and I have the ability to easily remove a watermark if necessary.

Is there any way of speaking with admin directly that you're aware of?

All admin will say is your pics are in the public domain and if you don't want them stolen make them private.

It just the way it is I'm afraid..we had one of ours show up on Craigslist thats another reason we never show faces ..There is literally no way of stopping it ..but a watermark will prevent most plus it's a good way of proving the pics are yours

Annoyingly, you're probably correct.

Yes, I've had the same in the past.

My overall concern is that it's states I'm within 1 mile of whomever this profile belongs to and (albeit blowing it out of proportion), the could be a genuine question of safety to be addressed...

Hi would report it to the police, I know some women that have do this very thing and the individual was arrested and fine over £750 and lost his marriage.

I’m know Admin takes things like this seriously, but there is a limit on what they can do.

We don’t want people like this on Fab as it spoils it fir everyone else

Stay strong !

There are a few methods, Albeit its time consuming and doubtful would bother with the hassle, but with basic graphic design tools; it's achievable.

It does ruin it sadly.

I only meant in the extreme case and not implying anything will / would happen. Only to emphasise the concern.
