I've never accepted any plagiarism. We discussed this quite a few times. Also, I spent money from my own pocket to hold a signature design contest. There is no point for me to accept plagiarism.

True, there is no point, but the fact is you did. It is only fair that you allow others to be "inspired" by your signature design and not post a scam accusation against the guy.

Let others judge whether tidus1097 was just inspired by my signature or it is indeed a copy. Both of us and tidus1097 may be biased.

So let's say tidus1097 does change his signature (he claims this one was just a work in progress), will you give him the coins he earned in your signature campaign?

What's your opinion? We've not yet made the decision. But I think he should not participate at the very beginning.

I don't think he should be kicked in the first place. To say that he has access/control of an account that was hacked is a bit of a stretch.

You obviously received benefit from him wearing your signature -you got advertising. I don't see any reason why you would think it is okay to not pay him.

The reason that I let him in at the beginning is because I did not know he has another account. Later, I found out that and then immediately told him to stop. It is OK for me to pay. But that seems a bit encouraging this kind of cheating, right?

I am going to tell you right now that the number of people who participate in signature deals is very low. Probably close to zero if not zero. To say that you didn't know he had other accounts is a bit of a stretch if you ask me.

It would either be that you are encouraging this kind of "cheating" if you can really call it that, or you get something for free that you agreed to pay for when the person due the payment did not consent to have payment withheld.
