  Hey guys. Sorry this isn't about Wikinger or possibly in the wrong section of the forum, but I'd like your help if possible.
  There's a steam user (RM)Wilhelm who has "created" a skin pack using half my skins and the other half from my fellow skin maker Georider(http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/fi...=519644899
  
  
  Both Georider and myself have asked him to remove it as he did not have permission to use our skins and claim as own.  He "adjusted" some of my skins by adding numbers and erasing some of my camo to make it look different and claims that anything posted to the workshop is fair game and he doesn't need our permission.
  He also has deleted every comment we've made asking him to remove it from the workshop.  Here a few that I managed to save before he deleted the others:
  
  
  
  Anyway, I was hoping you guys could help us out by reporting this.  I have and Georider has as well, but any further reportings would be appreciated by you guys.
  If you don't feel comfortable doing that, it's cool, I understand.
  Thanks for reading and making me a member of the team!

  reported and he keeps deleting posts....not the actions of an innocent in my mind
  People like this need to be dragged behind a Tiger!
  We are with you Starbuck!

  Hi All,

  
  

  Just an update on this.  Starbuck posted on the official COH forums and over at CoH2.org, I drew it the attention of the twitter page to the posts and the offending skin packs have since been removed.

  
  

  Please keep aware of people ripping off the hard work of other community members - the Steam workshop has made it so much easier for us to customize the base game and also for those who invest their time into making a great game even better to get their work out to us.  Without people like Starbuck and many others out there putting out some amazing work we'd all still be playing with vanilla skins.

  
  

  Finally a big thank you to all of you who jumped on board and reported the offending material, and finally to the COH people who responded so quickly once this was drawn to their attention.

  
  

  Cheers

  Mongalong

  Great result! Nice work Mongalong, Twitter is a very powerful tool indeed!
  
  Also remind me never to make Olhausen angry . He posted arguments all day with this thief to get him to see sense and kept going even when he was threatened. Makes me happy to be associated with this mod, we look after our own.
