Why haven't you done this? Do you not care about ripped off ascii art? Or don't you even know about it? I've seen you posting about your ring several times yet you've never done anything about adding this rule to the ascii ring guidelines. Whatever you have to say against the ascii ring at Yahoo at least they do care enough to check the websites that want to join.
