If you mean all people who trace anything, this is overreating. If you mean people who trace other user's stuff without permission, then that would be considered equal to trolling, which I am in the process of setting up a club dedicated to fighting against.

I remember doing this whole copyright thing when I was 11. If you post your stuff on the internet, someone could steal it. This website is just a big ol' refrigerator for people to put up anything they make in the program. It's a lot easier for people to trace/steal/make problems, and a lot easier to find out about it because it's all being submitted to the same place (this website). It's annoying, yes, but it's not going to hurt you. Just fool a few people. And I know it's hard to imagine when you're young, but, surprisingly, tracing that takes place HERE isn't gonna ruin any lives. The rest of the internet is out there. There are places with much smaller, dedicated (usually) communities with oekaki boards featuring much of the same stuff (replays, opacity, brushes, but usually no "like" system). So, there are plenty of places to go for stuff like this on the internet. You shouldn't have to put up with tracers, no, but it's not going to destroy anyone and they're not using your work for profit on here so it's not going to hurt anyone. The fact that stuff is traced from pre-existing posted content (featuring date/time) destroys any "I made it first!" arguments, so I really can't see any lasting damage being done, except to some egos. I hope you guys can have fun with your art again! Posting a bunch of bulletins for the public can't be fun. You all seem nice and you have a tight circle of supporters, you should enjoy your time on the internet. Oekakis are really your go-to place if you want a smaller community though. People vs. people drama is the worst to happen at such places, not tracing.

^THis. Besides, tracing is natural as an artist. You can 'ban' tracing. Even the most renown artists have started tracing before getting to where they're at.

If you don't want your art to be traced. Well you can sign your drawing. Reporting will not end it.

And for yu all tracers, don't think you're off the hook. The major problem here is the fact that most of you do not give credit to the original artist, therefore claiming it is yours, when it's clearly not.
