Can we get some attention on this stolen hair contest entry?

I'm all for cute ponytails and all that jazz, but I'm not keen on people putting work into styling a wig, their hair, or drawing an entry, and then this guy/gal goes up and photoshop's someone else's blogpost. Nope, not cute, not cool, not fair. C'mon SE, put someone else's entry in, DQ this guy and let's be real

The fact that this is one of the ones that won is quite...upsetting to see since it's not even their work. This one is one of the ones I would of liked to see win

I would prefer that we dont make this post about other people's entries, but rather the entry that's violating the rules.

How about that Quistis hairstyle one O:

At least they drew it themselves rather than ripping someone else's photo

Ah, crap. I voted for that one too. *goes to remove vote*

I know SE can't catch all of the offenders but I really do think they should've taken more time to go over the entries. :/ I wouldn't have minded if the voting started at the end of September, as long as nothing that was copied/stolen/traced/etc. made it through.

Bumping up

Yeah, one of them is clearly Quistis' hair & also not an original work.

Looks like it was taken down! I wonder if we're going to get a new hairstyle to vote on, or if we're going to be left with 24..
