I used to allow anonymous comments because people from greatestjournal, deadjournal, stuff like that would comment that they were taking my icons. Unfortunately, due to someone from an icon stealing community spamming me repeatedly with a comment about how they stole my icons, anonymous comments are no longer allowed. I would set them so that they

That is terrible..

But I have a question, the community said they stole your icons? Or did one person.. because everybody has a code number for their user name and you can track that person down and figure out if they stole your icons. even if they leave an anonymous comments.

That's what a friend of mine did when her icons started getting stolen.

it was an anonymous comment that linked to a specific post in an icon stealing community (which I couldn't see the post because I'm not a member) and said something like "Hah! Someone's stealing your icons! Have a nice day!" but I didn't have it set to log IP addresses.

are you bringing this huge sack of drama to the table over ONE comment???

I see no drama. Also, the same exact comment was posted several times on several different posts. Hence the calling it spamming.

sorry for someone being so very repetitive!

I don't even care about the icon stealing anymore. I understand that the most I can really do about the situation is to ask that people credit and hope they do. If they don't, well, I can't do anything about it. And if they post my icons somewhere else, I can't do anything about that either.

It's when they spam me with comments mocking me about it, especially when I leave them alone in the first place, that it starts to bother me.

At least now they can't without using their LJ name, and that's easy enough to ban.
