Every comment beneath the removed post for violating “Facebook Community Standards” was “welcome back” or something of the like. I immediately deleted any post with anything about the ongoing saga with SJK Photography. I immediately deleted any post with a link. I deleted ANYTHING that wasn’t strictly positive, yet here I am, again, with another removed post from Facebook for posting something against Community Standards all because someone allegedly has some kind of inside to Facebook.
The owner of SJK Photography also runs this Facebook Page where she has reached out to fans to help her with the bullies and claims to have an inside to getting people banned.
I have yet another ban from Facebook (30 days this time) while other photographers whom have shown their support have also received bans of their own. Many of these bans are for just saying they support Photo Stealers – no links, no bad mouthing, just saying hey I support what Corey does. There is no way to contact Facebook and figure out just exactly how what you posted violated “Facebook Community Standards” when it isn’t apparent just what is violated by posting a single link. For photographers who rely on Facebook for marketing for their businesses, these bans not only affect their personal lives but their businesses as well.
To continue your support for this website, please feel free to follow Photo Stealers on Twitter and Google +. If you want to show your support on Facebook by mentioning or linking to the page, make sure to make the post for “Friends Only” to ensure your safety.
Since my last post about what I had endured since the outing of SJK Photography, I have been on the receiving end of so much more. Below is just a sampling of the posts that have appeared on various Facebook Pages. Note that all of these were returned as “not against community standards” when I flagged them. The posts are below. As with the last post, this is just the things aimed at me personally.
I hope this is the last time I have to make yet another blog post about this incident. Wedding season is here and my “Photo Stealers” time will be waning. However, my mission remains the same. I am here to help photographers whose images are being used illegally in other photographers galleries. I will continue to do what I have been doing for the past 3 years and if I can’t post to Facebook, so be it. It won’t deter me.
Onto the hate, rage and calling me the c word (which made me laugh).

Email from Bill:
Email I received from Bill (sent via a VPN). While I would have gladly removed their post to get on with things, there is no way that I have the power (despite how much they THINK I have) to get everyone, everywhere, to remove talks of what has transpired. They’ve pissed off far too many people whose reaches are far beyond Photo Stealers, especially with the “Ha So You Think You’re a Photographer” page. Many of those people never even HEARD of Photo Stealers so how in the world was I to get them to remove anything they’ve posted?!? So I’d remove the post and they’d continue to attack as long as their names are out there…
Ha, So You Think You’re a Photographer Facebook Page:
Post made after my blog about shutting down the Facebook Page
Selling the drama Facebook Page:
“Selling the Drama” was a Facebook Page created after “Photo Stealers Stop the Bullying” was unpublished. Here I’m being accused of taking bribes to remove listings on Photo Stealers. The only thing that gets listings removed is retribution made to THE PHOTOGRAPHERS WHO WERE THE VICTIMS. Be it apology, payment for use of the images or good will. I refused to be shamed for thinking photographers should be paid when their images are used illegally.
More claims that removing the listings once the photographers feel they have retribution for the theft is extortion.This company paid for the commercial use of the images TO THE PHOTOGRAPHERS whose images they used. No donations have been made to me or Photo Stealers.Bill is unhappy I didn’t comply with his email.
Cyber War Facebook Page:
“Cyber War” yet another Facebook Page created to antagonize me (at this time it is unpublished), claims that I am the aggressor in this.I personally have never written a single RipOff Report about anyone, ever.Stating they are sending a missile towards the new page.…maybe because you keep posting stuff like this?Bill is still angry that I dared to say that Stacie also ran Lollicakes in her listing on Photo Stealers – I never said it had stolen images. I deleted that line early on in this but we are still here.
Photo Stealers Wall of Shame Facebook Page:
Another Facebook Page was created to cyber bully and harass me once the “Ha, So You Think You’re A Photographer” Facebook Page was removed by Facebook.I had no idea that this site even existed until they posted this link. No incoming links to it, doesn’t pop in Google searches. AMAZING they HAPPENED to find it isn’t it? Also quite amazing how the reviews match up to the ones left on RipOff Report and The Knot.
Another review site I had no idea existed.
Linking one of the RipOff Reports against me.Linking yet another one of the RipOff Reports against me.One should note that the page also talks about getting Bill Scott to stop harassing as well.

This wall of shame is dedicated to photographers that feel that it's okay to steal others' work and post it as their own. Oh I'm sorry, it's okay to let their "web designer" do it.
