seeing as my graphics makes it birth at a yugioh forum, yeah, I've been ripped by noobs. Ironicly enough, only once I got to mod, after that it stopped. I always had an origonal name, uzumaki, or origional enough. Then I changed it to AvantGarde becuase I'd never seen an AvantGarde before. Once I start showcasing my sigs, two or three AvantGarde's pop up here. Sucks. (I'm the best though.)
once i had a sig that had a burning cross with KKK members circled around with the title "who cares?" that got me some bad reps.
i've never been ripped simply because i'm not too good. i have seen on a lot of different forums the same animation in sigs(tags) like a guy dancing or something.
