RE: An attempt to stop skin ripping
Hmm somehow I don't think this will stop people from skin ripping - however it may stop a few. I myself might be guilty of "skin ripping" - if I'm using a skin I like but there are several resources which I find a bit dodgy I may go to the effort to remove those resources and go with the messenger default, but I in no way shape or form "release" the skin, in fact I don't even package it again for my own installation later on (which would probably be a good idea).
Anyway, I agree that if it's a ripped skin, don't accept it into the database. But if that's not enough, create some sort of watermark in the skin which can't be removed as to preserve the integrity of the original creator, and perhaps if the skin has been tampered with the watermark will state it has been so. That's probably not very feasible but I still think it's worth mentioning.
