User blog:Forestpaw13/COPYRIGHT - Must Read

We have a problem with copyright on this wiki, and after most people's last straw, I am imposing more rules on y'all since none of you seem to UNDERSTAND.

All chararts from Warriors Wikia are copyrighted. They will be copyrighted for a very long time. That means you can't upload them here. If I see you have uploaded any of the images under the following criteria, I will ban you for three days. If it happens again (I don't care if it's 3 days later or 3 years later!) you will be banned for a week, and then for a month, and then a year, and then forever. I'm not having any of it anymore, and neither are Wetty nor Arti. We actually have to go through all 2,000 or so images on the wiki and delete the ones that violate copyright. I have to find all the blanks and look them up and delete the ones that violate copyright.

Don't worry, we're not going to go ex-post-facto on you guys... if you uploaded the ones below without realizing the copyright existed, you will not get banned. I promise.

The Criteria

 * Any WW charart.
 * Anything made by Wildpath of ShadowClan on DeviantArt. She has said very clearly that her charart must have the credit given to her on the actual image. I know, the letters are ugly, but they must remain there in order to not infringe copyright.
 * Anything created by Harpercollins.
 * Any blanks created by somebody who hasn't expressed that you are allowed to use it in the public domain.

Other Rules that I'm Imposing
Remember about a year ago when I imposed a rule that you could only upload 10 images a month?

Well, now the rule is that you can't upload more than 8 images a month. This is so that I WILL NEVER HAVE TO GO THROUGH 2,000 IMAGES AGAIN. It's totally unfair.

And with the posting of this blog, the law is in affect.
