Someone jacked my guide

I did not authorize this, and frankly it ticks me off. The idiot copied it 100% percent. I hope you guys can do something about it.

Your best bet is to email the admins of that site and insist they remove it. Don't threaten legal action in the first email, just explain that YOU wrote this (very awesome) guide and that one of their site patrons chose to steal it and claim it to be his work. Explain that you would appreciate it a great deal if they would delete that thread, and be respectful in your post. I read through the thread over there and it appears the site admins are aware of the plagerism and are just trying to get ahold of you to verify that you gave that person permission to repost your guide (as he claims in his thread). So it sounds like they'll take care of it if you explain what's going on.

Well, in that thread, they said they hadn't banned him because he claimed to have written permission to post Alamine's guide. They said they were trying to reach the original author to verify that before they take any drastic steps, which is fair... if he really DID have permission and they banned him for it, it would kinda suck. Obviously he doesn't have permission, but I guess they figure it's best to play it safe for now until they know for certain.

By the way, it really is an excellent guide. It helped me with my bard tremendously. You're justifiably proud of your work, so definitely don't let the little ******* get away with stealing it. >_<
