Fake dolls on DoA? What should you do if you know? >.>

I'm confused, the owner HAS a recast, or they DO the recasting? How are they offering other people recasts?

Really, you've done all you can do by reporting them and if they want to be tacky enough to continue to buy knock offs, that's their business. SELLING knock offs is a whole other ball game tho.

 

Okay, this is serious... first She's a member in this forum, and she know that this forum is not accept the fake dolls (which we always totally reject it) She have had to know the regulation in this forum and yet still buy it?

Shame on her.... I pity her... really... anyway reporting is a good thing ^^ I know that I would report this to the mod if I found her too ^^b no worries...

Anyway, If she do really have the opportunities to sell bootlegs or I should say RECASTING I think her moral must be really low and she can get a crime (perhaps) for selling fake...
and I will tell everyone if I find her... >XD *evil smirks*

 

If she's posting pictures or selling them, report her. If she isn't.. Who cares? >_>

 

Acting as an agent is as tacky as buying them for herself, but since she's not the one casting them, there's very little you can do beyond what you already have done. Let the mods deal with it but this community is very handy with pitchforks and witch hunts, I'd leave the name off any public posts.

 

Best you can do is inform her of the dangers some recasts carry. They're banned on DOA but not in other places, so just make sure that other websites she's using are aware.

 

DoA has rules concerning recasts and does not allow recasts on the forum.

Outside DoA you can't avoid recasts circulating. All you can do is educate people about recasts like Frozen Water suggested.

 

She should never be posting pictures here on doa and that is fully known so that i feel is flaunting the doll here. you have done your best reporting her, the mods are good and will look into this.
i do not agree with recasts as im sure all of us here agree that they are not supported but they do happen and people do get caught out buying them unaware - as i did when i was really new to the hobby i purchased an unknown second hand bjd doll in an auction which later on i found out is a recast - she was pretty, i was new and wanted a bjd so this happens. i still own her but i do not show photos of her here or anywhere else and i do not promote this at any given stage. its such a shame people have to do this but its the newbies and not knowing that get caught out.

 

If it was someone who didn't know that they had a fake doll, I would say you should talk to them privately and not bring attention to it.

But someone who knows they have brought a fake, is flaunting the fact that they did, and is actively encouraging others to buy fake dolls as well? I'd have no problem reporting them. They are encouraging piracy and potentially dangerous products.

 

not just posting the fake doll of him here, she even do some business at here, using her fake dolls. even if that business is healthy, BUT if the dolls that used is FAKE, that business became dirty, right ?
and THAT what she do at here !

and I want to ask to you all. If there's a owner, who owned the real doll, but Support the owner who have the fake one, and even WANT to buy the fake one too, what should we do ?
What's things that we should to for owner like this ??

 

Well, they can go make their own community then, and we can tell people to stay away from them. It's one thing to own some off-topic dolls; it's another thing entirely to own illegal re-casts of dolls. I have no problem kicking up a fuss in this sort of situation.

 

If I find out someone that owns a bootleg doll and posts on DOA I would report her. It's hard to proof with just a photo sometimes even though you know 100% for sure it is not an authentic doll. I also hold no respect for such people.

When someone is selling items using bootleg doll as model, I also view the sales as dirty and reports them. I have reported a few here on DOA already (it upsets me to see people hold group orders for such store and business here on DOA) and nothing is done. But I don't blame the mods, it's hard to prove it sometimes and I have no way of proving it even though from the photo I can tell it is not an authentic doll. Benefit of a doubt is keeping those people from being kick off from DOA.

P:S: I've been seeing some suspicious dolls being posted here on DOA for awhile now. I am now a believer that for people who love their bootlegs will keep buying them. They can all rot and die. But for someone who doesn't know that they have bought a bootleg and had paid full prize for them, it is woe. Woe is me.

 

I would certainly report a bootleg doll and its owner if I will be sure that a doll is a recast.

 

yes, I can't understand. Not just protected the Fake owner, their also want to buy the fake one too. Have they no shame to call themselves "doll owners" ??

and what, "The fake are more high quality than the genuine one " ??!!!! WTF !!!

 

Report them repeatedly and share your proof with the mods. These people should be banned on the first offense.

Not only do they show no respect to doll artists, they show no respect for the doll community, and as much as the doll community may annoy me sometimes, people who flaunt bootleg dolls shouldn't be allowed to be a part of it and most certainly not allowed to do business in the marketplace as they clearly have no issue with ripping people off.
