What happened::
The signature created by tidus1097 is too similar to mine. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitcoin-knives-1028257
His copying might confuse viewers. Viewers generally don't always look through the signature but glances and sees the style. If people does not like tidus1097's product or is scammed, it hurts mine too as mine will automatically be associated with them.

I would take it as a compliment my friend. "Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery" - Charles Caleb Colton. He probably liked your design a lot!
This isn't really a scam (There is another user who has copied my avatar, but what can I do about it?), but maybe a ethics issue? I'm sure if you contact him nicely and ask him to redesign it, he may do so. (Though he may refuse to out of spite because of this accusation - who knows?)
Good luck with your battle!
You know. I'm in aww over this. Lets get the whole story out here that way everyone knows whats going on. I would not have even known this was here if someone hadn't messaged me about it. But heres the story.
Ok, so, I left the DaDice campaign and had messaged the OP to join his sig campaign. This is his response.
Ok, so I joined, added the signature to my profile and moved on with daily activities. Then on May 16th, he sent me this pm
Sorry I see that you have another account with negative trust.
Yeah I do. Its well known that I do because the account is stolen. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=368541
Ok, fine. I don't have to be in your sig campaign. No problem at all. But I did message you in regards to the posts I did make and you never replied.
Hi do you have any open spots for your sig campaign?
Yes, please join.
Also, I take it my 59 posts will not be counted?
So I give him a couple days to reply to me. No response. Last night I decided that I wasn't gonna wear his signature for free and I started thinking about a signature for my website. So why not look at what sig codes are made of and try myself? That's what I done. I know nothing of how to make a sig code so all I could do is look at it and others and try to decipher how to make it for my site. Ok, not that hard. Remove this line, add this, ect. Now I see that he posted this at 4:08am Eastern Time. If I was to fall over dead today, I changed my signature at a tops of 5 hours previously to him writing this thread. He made no attempt at messaging me over this. No contact whatsoever. Now why would someone open up a scam thread on someone without even replying to their pm's? I mean it makes no sense at all. Then it got me thinking. He just don't wanna pay me for the 50+ posts I made. No problem. I didn't care to begin with. I was moving on. Now on the other hand the tables have turned. You accuse me of scaming your signature from you. You try to make people think something that is not true whatsoever for what purpose? That's the only logical purpose I could think of. You didn't wanna talk to me about it. You didn't wanna talk to me about your campaign after you told me to join. You had 2 days to contact me. But instead, you would try to slander me instead over $15. If you would have asked me to change some of it around, that you felt it might confuse others, I would have in a minute. No questions asked. But you want to start shit with me? Well lets get it started then.
You owe me 0.059btc from your sig campaign that you personally told me to enroll in. I did. That is public on your sig campaign thread. You open a scam accusation against me because I used your color in my signature. You won't respond to my pm's.
I think that pretty much covers the entire story of what happened.
