While I agree that this might skew the voting, the damage has already been done and there really isn't much that we can do about it now.Actually it could effect a lot of stuff, consider this, that because of the attention it's getting, the more likely it will be chosen by Re-Logic as a finalist (not saying that it shouldn't have) due to the attention it's been given. This can also skew people to ignore other finalists and just go for the one that they most know and have had the time to know (trust me this happens). Hence it having a large possibility to effect the contest, and I mean it does have a front page reddit post and a popular youtuber backing it...
I hope they don’t win tbh cuz plagiarism is bad and should be a crime in my opinionThe user [name removed by staff] completely plagiarized (or should I say plaguearized) my artwork, just changed the colors to green in photoshop.
And have the decency to say [quote removed by staff]. I did, a 1000 posts before yours.
Now I don't care about winning, but mine made Reddit frontpage with a lot of people supporting it: reddit

All Vanity entries must be the original work of the person submitting the idea - no stealing! (yes, we will look)
If you are going to make a mod containing other people's artwork, please ensure you ask and receive their permission first. Otherwise, that would be considered plagiarism, which is in breach of both forum and modding rules.View attachment 267326
Here's my entry if you want to discuss it.
Another thing, if you feel like it, PM me your favorite semi finalists so I can make a mod containing them.
Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention, we'll investigate it and take appropriate action. With that said, we don't allow public accusations of plagiarism because we want to prevent witch hunts, especially when those accusations turn out to be incorrect or ill founded (I'm not saying that that's the case here). Because of this, I've removed the name of the involved user and any info that can be used to track them.The user [name removed by staff] completely plagiarized (or should I say plaguearized) my artwork, just changed the colors to green in photoshop.

They weren't yet, but sometime later today they'll have them up, either on a stream or posted upWhen were the vanity contest winners showed?
I'm assuming an American timezone, so you'd probably have to wait until late night sadly.what timezone are the devs operating in?
I'm from Australia and don't know whether to stay up all night to try and catch the winners!
All good, (you get used to it living here lol)I'm assuming an American timezone, so you'd probably have to wait until late night sadly.
I did not mean to plagiarise by any means I was just creating something from my own mind and I did not know that you made what I made sorry for the inconvenienceThe user [name removed by staff] completely plagiarized (or should I say plaguearized) my artwork, just changed the colors to green in photoshop.
