Privately? I don't know about that, it kinda goes against being neutral and allowing all a platform (or thread) to reach others and be reached, it's mighty close to discrimination and spits in the face of the community and mods being neutral.I agree a copy design thread should expect people mention to the OP that the design resembles this or that original... but the thread should stand to allow the copy makers to stand on their own in a public forum, where they'd surely live and die by the interested posts (or disinterest posts) of the community. But it should be civil and most of all, unhindered- by all except by the actions of any original IP holders or IP Lawyers of the original designer, they have the power and intent to stop something if they find they are backed by patents or the law of their client's country of residence. We the community and mods don't really have such authority, we can't speak for someone else, and no one person here should dare speaks for us all.I know im making assumptions about "us all" as the community (lol) but all i ask is we be civil, honest, and treat each other as we'd like to be treated, as human beings, and with patience, kindness, and respect.
