I disagree. We state that they must upload regularly for several weeks, and they have been uploading regularly since 2nd June. That to me is regular uploads over several weeks.

I am worried that we would end up with no contributors at all, if we are too tight on this new rule. And without contributors, we have no site.

Don't know him/her and his/her work. Covers aren't bad at all, so if the rules allow the upgrade, I'm ok with that.

A yes from me as long as when these covers/labels are approved we check for spelling errors, template parts not changed and other cover websites on the artwork...

Thanks buddy. They have all been rejected. They all contained missing information, except Ant-Man and the Wasp, which had the URL.

Now that you know who it is, I'd be leery of ever granting him access no matter what he does, every cover here will be subject to theft if this guy gets access.

You know this is the one we banned who was a subscriber, come back as a pretend contributor.

I would suggest banning this account but he will just create another and that would make it harder to id him next time, this way at least we know who he is.

It will be a mistake to ever promote this account, if you do that you might as well open the door for cover-addicts to the gallery as they are a den of thieves this we know for a fact.

He just posted a group of xShoty's covers on the 16th that he previously downloaded before we banned his subscriber account.

https://www.cover-addict.com/search/lab ... -results=8

I know for a fact his users have requested covers from here be posted to there, my guess is that is his motivation for trying to get contributor access now.

He also knows a new subscriber will be caught immediately, first cover a new subscriber posts to there I would ID it and he is tired of losing money on canceled subs on here and other sites where he steals covers.

This posted two days ago:

To this stolen cover

[attachment=39453:ca2.jpg]

It is possible that it's not him but if that is true then these covers are not the work of the uploader and were lifted from cover-addicts to try and gain access here, so either way you look at it this is one of those people be really don't want to have access here.

:eek:

It would be even better if we had some solid evidence, but I agree it is very suspect.

cover-addicts url on the covers is not hard evidence?

Who but someone aligned with that site would do that?

What do you want a security camera recording of him uploading to here???

I'll be honest Baz that statement is either beyond naive or not very thought out.
