It has come to our attention that some members are using (or copying) the avatars of other members. Some of these creative members have spent countless hours and/or days creating some very custom avatars. While we at TurboBuick are not going to get into some arguement about copywrite , trademarks or whatever. This issue really is not about the issue above and it doesn't even apply. The issue at hand is that the originator of the avatar (for the most part) is quite proud of their work or finding a unique piece of art that represents the individual. Those members that copy and use anothers avatar, should at least have the courtesy to ask the originator for permission before using anothers avatar. This is really a matter of courtesy more than anything else. So while we will not create a rule about this we ask that before you copy and use another members avatar to be considerate of your fellow Buick member and ask first.
