Malinko and his wife complaint

[Marcu5]

I am the owner of the server Dark Diamond, upon waking up this morning and having spoken with my co-owner, the following occurred.

Recently, we have had 3 visits from Malinko of the PWA and his wife, this time a friend decided to come along. They first complained when I had used pics2.png for our tile set. As pics2.png comes with the graal install I had thought it was free to use, however we were told it was stolen material. No problem, we removed it and began making our own tile set. They also complained about some of our houses. Malinko's wife said we stole them from Babylon. So my co-owner went to Babylon, and yes, one of our lats had stolen some house designs, and so we changed them and fired the lat.

The way Malinko works is, he sends his wife to scout servers. She finds whatever she feels is wrong, then reports back to him. At which point he then comes to look. My question is, why is Malinko's wife doing his job? Why is she scouting servers for him.

So today... Malinko, his wife, and one of their buddies pops in for another visit. Malinko logs on and tells us to remove our tile set again. It seems his wife claims we stole the set from Babylon after we had just painted our own grass tiles, paths, etc. Malinko having never seen the new tile set and only taking his wife's word for it then decides to see it and then says oh nevermind you didnt steal it.

Having his wife call us thieves or a mishap with the pics2.png because we thought it was global and then constantly coming back to check on us for him, is simply wrong. Meanwhile, their buddy they brought spends the whole time talking of how badly we do everything and that we do not know what we are doing.

Malinko's wife has been spotted on other servers scouting for him as well. So essentially, Malinko and his wife wasted an hour of my staff's time today. Malinko is only taking his wife's word for it and isn't actually looking himself half the time. If he had looked today before simply telling us to remove the tileset, he would never have told us to do so.

My server Dark Diamond was formerly a Hosted Tab Server but was shut down when I didn't had it because I was out of the country. We have never had any problems that warrant such constant checks and we have always made any changes the PWA have requested. The moment we find out something was stolen or abused, it is removed.

I don't want to cause any problems with the PWA for obvious reasons, but I won't stand for this. If Malinko's wife is going to keep coming back claiming we are thieves and wasting our time as well as the PWA's, she will find her self and if we must, the rest of the players blocked off from the over world until we are finished working.

So please, if you are going to make claims, be quite sure you know what you are talking about.
