You all know about the art thieves that are plaguing our wonderful community, right? Well, I think it's about time we do something to stop them that isn't just blindly ganging up on them in hopes of scaring them away. I know I've done that more times than I'd like to recall, and I'm not proud of it. So I decided to send this passage to the official Wattpad account, and I'm hoping you guys could somehow private message it to them as well, or something similar to it. It won't take much time at all, and if we all work together to make our message heard, something might be done about it.

This is what I sent to them:

Hello, people of Wattpad. I'm sure you get a huge amount of reports and complaints from all of the users on this site, but there has been a problem recently that I feel desperately needs to be addressed. As a member of the art-posting community here, I am a strong advocate for the value of posting one's own artwork, but lately there have been numerous accounts that are quite clearly taking screenshots of other's artwork and claiming it as their own. According to your very own copyright agreement in each and every book, the materials published belong solely to the publisher, and no one else unless said otherwise. Therefore, these art theives are in direct violation of what Wattpad stands for: a safe place to show what you can produce, without having to worry about plagiarism. They are tainting the sanctity of this site, and it's becoming an increasingly large issue as more and more of these accounts surface.

Some specific examples would include users like @the_epic_user and @OreoArteest, which are clearly using the art of such people as @OreoFerret and @TheLovelySardonix.

This is a very clear problem, as you can see! There is evidence upon evidence that these accounts are plagiarizing art, and it could easily be fixed if Wattpad took down their stolen art books. This has been done in the past, I believe, but it is not being applied to every case of art theft.

So, I propose that you could add another section to the reportable content: theft. Whether it be theft of art or words, I(and many others) strongly believe that infringement of Wattpad's foundation is a huge problem that must addressed specifically and efficiently.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I truly hope that you can accommodate some form of plagiarism prevention, whether it be what I have suggested or another change.
