I'm curious to know which member it was. Shoot me a PM if you happen to know lol. Kid who stole pics is @rakimdavis on twitter And he put down that it cost him over $40,000 for the collection! Stupid idiot doesn't even realize most of my belts are Commemoratives! I spent, at most, $2,000 total for all my belts. So.... he really thinks I spent $38,000 on Mattel WWE figures!? Here's his Twitter feed, for anyone interested. mobile.twitter.com/rakimdavis |

While that's some pretty dishonest stuff, looking at this kid's youtube videos he looks like he's maybe maybe 11 or 12 at the most. If the worst he's doing is lying about his toy collection to strangers on the internet, he's a choir boy compared to what my friends and I were doing at that age.
Maybe the contest holder or someone else can reach out and make this a teachable moment.

But hes chest thumping himself over the pic, and saying he's a phenomenal toy collector for it and such. I'd actually enjoy it if someone would call him out on it, and let him know that his supposed "win" has been null and voided after I gave the guy running Wrestle Daze proof he stole the pic. He actually trying to get other people to join him in some type of "PWO" with their collection pics. |

Just figured someone here would know something. And yeah...that PWO nonsense is f**ked. |

He's really proud of himself and thinks he's phenomenal or something. Also, claiming you spent 40 grand on wrestling figures for the world to see? Yeah, he's gonna be a virgin forever. |

Calling out a child on Twitter about a photo would not be your greatest achievement. |

If all the kid gained from doing that was false bravado, I wouldn't worry too much about it.
If there was some kind of cool prize involved, like free figures or whatnot, I could see being angry.
Obviously, this is a child, with some issues, and only wishes he had the collection you have.
Either way, this stands as a good reason to ALWAYS watermark your pictures.
And I hope this kid gets what's coming to him for taking credit where it's undeserved.

Nothing, just the right to be called the "Wrestling Daze heavyweight champion" |

Who cares if he is a kid? Like seriously. That's how murderers get started. Nobody looks at the quiet kid next door who has been nailing stray cats to trees. Just like nobody is gonna say anything to this kid for stealing a pic and saying it is his. A lesson needs to be taught to nip this in the bud, Fife-style.
I honestly have no idea why I am invested in this ordeal.

Couple things -
1) when I posted this, I honestly didn't know it was a kid.
2) also didn't know if there was or wasn't a prize involved with winning the contest.
3) not trying to pick on a kid, but I do feel some type of lesson needs to be learned by him. Like Cosmo said, it's the point of stealing someone else's work for his own gain, even if it is just bragging rights on the Internet for a few hours. What will be the next thing he does - start passing off some of the customs made by boar dies here as his own? I guess what I'm trying to say is, eventually he will use someone else's work for some type of gain beyond pounding his chest and declaring himself phenomenal for something he didn't do. Which is why I wanted to nip it in the bud early, show him that it's not okay to portray something that belongs to someone else as yours. Bad Three's Company episodes started that way.

They may have came across them using google images. That's possible. To SteveHulk, apparently just bragging rights it turns out. Seems they do this every Sunday, have people post collection pics,and choose who has the best. Initially, I thought maybe a prize was involved, and was like "Hey!" I've found my pictures on Goigle images. I only upload them to imgur unpublished and post them here. I clicked on one thinking, "Oh that looks cool. Maybe they have more." Followed the link here to my own thread. I was more surprised I didn't recognize my own picture. |
