I think it's B - they don't give a shit. The thief even write name of the source in the models' names, just to be easier to identify fraud, yet cgtrader still shows no interest in baning his account.

I used to report stolen models to eduardas on regular basis and he did a fine job to swiftly remove crooked sellers' accounts. Then some time later this duty was handed over to other guy, who unfortunately shows very little interest in baning thieves, so i eventually stopped to report them. I have no patience to fight not only against thieves, but also against CGT themselves.

Hello,

I would like to let you know that the user "layihe25" is no longer a part of CGTrader community due to an infringement of our terms of use. You may continue reporting stolen content, but keep in mind that valid evidence is needed for any action to be taken from our side.
Thank you for understanding.

All the best,
Mantas

In this particular case evidence was kindly provided by thief himself. Anyway, it's good to hear that another one bites the dust. I have quite a few thieves queued for report, but i think that from now i will do that publicly, as it seems that's greatly helps to accelerate investigation from your side and to take appropriate actions.

Two days ago I came and I immediately recognized that layihe25 had stolen another user's content. I am just a lowly customer and yet I immediately recognized the theft. Do you folks not monitor what is posted to your own site? I reported him before, and you did pull the item - but the rest of his items remained active. Once a person is proven to be a pirate. shouldn't you IMMEDIATELY shut his account down?
