I was recently contacted by an individual here on A*F*F who stated that I have "stolen" bling of hers from other web sites. I attempted to contact her to address her concerns, however my emails apparently did not go through and I have been banned from communicating with her. She has subsequently contacted me threatening to "plaster" my name through A*F*F yet she has not allowed me to communicate with her in any fashion therefore I have not been able to explain what potentially may have occurred. As a bling maker, I have gotten to the point of receiving numerous bling requests on a daily basis. Included in these requests was a recent request with attached photos of bling which the member had seen on another site. When I received these, I specifically asked if they were from this A*F*F affiliated site or if they were from another site. I stated to them that if it is a bling from this site that they should contact the bling artist who made the original bling and they can do any desired modifications. I went on to state that if the bling is from another site they should contact the artist on that site and see if they have an A*F*F membership and if they would be willing to make the bling here for them. The member did as I requested on the other site and stated that the member did not contact her back. Since the bling was not from this site, and was not available to the requester, I decided to recreate the bling in her desired color scheme. It is in no way my intention to "steal" bling from another individual. I was simply fulfilling a request because it was unavailable to her here. I have made well over 500 bling since I started doing it approximately a year ago and have always been aware of the other bling makers "styles" on A*F*F and try to have my own unique style. I truly saw no harm in recreating these bling for the member since I had done the proper due diligence to ensure that it was unavailable to them on A*F*F. I had absolutely NO ill intentions at all. When I received this accusatory email from a member here, I was shocked to say the least. I would have been more than willing to forward this request to her had I known she was the designer from the other website and would still be more than willing to forward future requests of this nature to her, however since she has blocked me from even being allowed to have an open line of communication, this makes it impossible to do. I am very sorry that something like this has occurred as it is never my intent to copy bling from other bling designers. I have a very good relationship with many of the top bling makers here on A*F*F and I believe my reputation as a respected bling maker in the A*F*F community speaks for itself.     |
