This community steals icons...
Tuesday, October 17th, 2006 07:45 amI don't know if people already know about this or not - if this is old news... my apologies.

iconscraper steals and posts icons. And hotlinks to them. And is totally unrepentant about it. Each icon does link back to wherever it was originally posted, but I'm not sure that's much comfort. Note that the images don't actually have to be icons, but they do have to be 100x100 or smaller and 40kb or smaller in size.

It is mentioned in that post that there are "multiple ways to prevent your pictures from showing up in the feed." Here's one of those ways:

ETA: This is mentioned in the comments on the above post, but you can opt out of the latest posts RSS feed for a community too. The command is formatted like this: set for communityname latest_optout yes
Pass this on to anyone you think will be interested. If you have an icon community, you might want to post the info there too.
