I'm sure I'm not the only person miffed by this. I have an impression GadgetMonster might be on my side about it as well. What a certain someone is doing to the IG groups and just learned has done to the Wikia site for all IG ( canon ). I'm referring to the person making screenshot memes in record time and posting them virtually everywhere in the groups. The person is also a mild art thief. Months back and now this has been deleted from DA. I suspect he got rid of it. He boasted about becoming an Admin. to the Wikia site. I commented simply to him the Wikia page is only for official content related to IG, not fan opinions. He said he knows that. I only spoke up in fear the site would get littered with his memes. Today I decided to discover did the name "Pip" Chip, ever have meaning put to it's name outside use. Research for Loaded Stone. No, but just for the hey of it and fear that person couldn't control themselves, I peeked into the Wikia's photo galley. He hid my comment when I asked if he'd asked permission before re-posting another artist's work. Please if you can get through to this guy, do! Save the Inspector Gadget Wikia site from becoming further corrupted.

Hmm, by the look of the image are you talking about the guy who on DA posts images of Thomas the Engine Tank and such? I think it's username is Gadgetnatic83.

I try not to call out people when it isn't something nice they're doing. I recognize the uploads. I came across his images on the IG group on DA when i first became a co-finder in earlier this year, I kept on "withdrawing" a couple of his images until he disappeared... it's a strange thing to do to a group.
as for the wiki page, i'm not familiar with it, but is there a place where you can report this person?

since you mentioned it, I quickly went back on the DA group just to double check and yes, I must've took a good hour "weeding" out the spam from a few folders. I'm debating if I should add a rule for no memes that has nothing to do with the franchise.

Thanks! GM made a folder in the Gadget Universe group to catch this stuff. Yes, others make memes too but not to the same extensive amount. Already done. Lets hope some one with power on the site can do something. ... Just noticed a typo in it.

Wow, since you did that clean up I'm noticing art I didn't notice before! Bet these artists are grateful too!

that is actually a good idea to make a folder for the DA group, it'll save me the headache.

Bet these artists are grateful too! thanks! i'm not done yet, i'm still new to this... there are a few things i need look though and move around. my twin sister (tenchigirl15 on DA) set up the group 8 years ago, so a lot of art over the years that needs to be sort though and move their right folders.

I actually didn't know he/she was a spammer. I won't lie that watching too much Thomas images on the IG groups on DA is already frustrating, but I always thought the posted images were just innocent as our work. But now I see I was just wrong.

But now I see I was just wrong. true, i thought the same thing too until i "housecleaned" the DA group last night, the memes and screenshots of Thomas were everywhere! it kinda left the real art aside which is unfair to artist who want their work being viewed. but, just to be honest, I don't mind IG memes and screenshots, I actually like them and gave them a new folder... but if it's off topic, then it's spam.

The one reply I've gotten suggests I report him to the site Admins. for the IG Wikia. ... Give there are quite a number of them. Which ones are active I don't know. But I do know there is a minor chat board for the site. Guess I'm going to have to turn to that.
I agree a little is IG this guy does but whose taste it fulfills, I don't know. To each there own I guess. I do know he has submitted strictly Thomas the Tank stuff to one of the IG groups. Think an Admin. to one of the groups caught it, because it didn't stay.

So do I. I even did a few IG memes just for the fun, but the rest is just fanart, though because of the Portuguese conventions I have to draw other fanart of other series, since Portugal doesn't have a lot of fans of the IG series. But I think this guy just gets out of control with his memes, and the IG series has nothing to do with the Thomas series. I mean, there's nothing wrong of him liking that "creepy" smily train, but it's like you said, he needs to respect the other fans and mostly their artwork.

Hmmm, you do have a point and on the fact it's a wiki fan site, it's mostly for information about the series. you would think somebody who actually runs the website would've caught it in time thinking it was suspicious activity. as big as wiki is, there should be somebody. true, i thought the same thing too until i "housecleaned" the DA group last night, the memes and screenshots of Thomas were everywhere! it kinda left the real art aside which is unfair to artist who want their work being viewed. but, just to be honest, I don't mind IG memes and screenshots, I actually like them and gave them a new folder... but if it's off topic, then it's spam.

I mean, there's nothing wrong of him liking that "creepy" smily train, but it's like you said, he needs to respect the other fans and mostly their artwork. indeed. there is nothing wrong on liking something and mixing it with other fandoms on their own profile... but adding it on to something that doesn't belong there is unacceptable... including on information websites.
Btw, adding the Thomas series to the IG series is a very strange one to me... I can't wrap my mind around that one.
