Harassment in the Gallery

Hi All! Recently, I noticed artwork in the gallery that was stolen from a creator.  I commented on the stolen post simply to give credit to the original creator. This player then went and  commented on every single one of my gallery posts, calling me "mean girl" and "bad girl" amongst other names. Is it worth trying to contact EA to have these comments removed? I just recently got into building and didn't mean to start this drama war on my profile. They've followed my account, so now they can see every time I post. They also called me out on one of my posts for only having 3 followers. I didn't expect to ever face this kind of treatment when playing a game, especially The Sims. 

This post is kinda just to vent, but also what can I do besides report their comments in the gallery? I don't even have the option to remove them from following me.

    well I just realized I can delete all the comments.... this was posted prematurely. I'm just a little upset, sorry!

    It's understandable.  As plagiarism isn't a valid reason to report content (unfortunately), it's not otherwise worth it except to maybe leave a message to the original creator to let them know it's happening to them.  Just delete their comments like you've been doing and don't let them live rent-free in your head. :)

    The gallery has a huge problem with plagiarism right now unfortunately. I realize it's not a valid reason to report but when someone create 10-15 accounts to do this it's something else. When someone create an account just to use that account alone to reupload the creations to one creator it has hit another level. This is harassment and needs to be looked into by EA and hopefully find a permanent solution to deal with this kind of behavior in the future.

    It's understandable you are upset Buxytone, but if you block them they will not be able to follow you and not be able to write anything on your creations. It's okay to speak up if you see this kind of behavior but maybe comments on the reuploaded creation isn't the best solution because you never know what kind of respons you get. Follow Lynariela's advice and go to the original creator and he/she will deal with it if they want to.

    I will then ask anyone that see what I described on the top of this message to write a report to EA because this is not only reuploading it's harassment. I have sent reports to EA about this problem and will continue to do so.
