Beware of Shady Plugin Seller/Thief

A plugin seller by the name of Isabella Ava (aka master2015hp) was questioned to clarify why a certain plugin had the overly similar appearance of the Yanfly Engine Plugins library's Aftermath Level Up.

Here are the comparisons:

What it looks like, to quote some other users, is that parts of the Aftermath Level Up plugin is cut and pasted on top of Olivia's Victory UI. It's one thing if the code was made entirely by themselves, but there is a distinct way the numbers appear in the Yanfly Aftermath Level Up plugin that also resurfaces on the suspect's. No permission has been asked from the individual nor granted to the individual to resell the code either.

When the suspect was probed as to why this is, here is the response:

To which, Irina mentions that Olivia's Victory UI cannot exist in the same project as Yanfly's Victory Aftermath without conflicts. As Aftermath Level Up is an extension plugin of Yanfly's Victory Aftermath, there's no way for the suspected plugin to be able to call from it, which means the code has be have been taken from Aftermath Level Up.

When Yanfly asked the individual if the code can be compared, the individual responded as such:

Had the individual actually crafted the code themselves, there'd be nothing to be afraid of here, and they'd have cleared themselves of suspicion. Instead, leaving such a nasty message in hopes of a desperate sale puts them in the limelight all the more.

Other suspicious plugins of theirs also include the "addon for YEP Grid Free Doodad", which as far as Team Yanfly can tell, only does as far as changing up some shortcut keys to perform other actions by Yanfly's code. This plugin of theirs is also being sold.

Another one being sold is their Persistent Switches, which (though unconfirmed) may have been an alteration of Endless Illusion Software's Persistent Switches.

We STRONGLY encourage you users to stay away from this "plugin developer" as their actions and products are extremely suspicious.
