For your benefit, please make sure you know what is meant by the phrase "stealing art", because there are many interpretations, some of which aren't always violations.

Here's a list of stock phrases you can use:

Image Rip - Art theft in its simplest form; the person downloaded a copy of someone else's image and then re-uploaded the same image, as is, with trivial or no modifications whatsoever. "Trivial" modifications mean things like minor resizing, cropping, exposure adjustment, and removal of identifying watermarks. Some LOLcat and Demotivational artwork can be considered image ripping as well.

Trace/Edit - Situations where the user downloaded a copy of someone else's image, then altered, edited, or created a traced copy of it without acquiring and/or documenting permission from the owner to do so. It does not necessarily have to be done in digital media, but the original piece can still be clearly recognized underneath the alterations. This is less serious if it turns out the original artist did offer it up for that purpose (for example, "coloring page" style lineart) but in all cases we must have citation and documentation of it.

Uncited/uncredited references - Cases where the artist's work is an imitation or duplication of an official screenshot, reference image or other inspiration and either failed or refused to cite the original material as their inspiration. Understand that FAC is firstly a fanart site and amateur fanart does often consist of an artist attempting to re-create a specific scene from their source material; imitation is a form of flattery after all. The only thing we ask in this case is that they cite (i.e: provide a URL for) the original screenshot used.

Plaigarism - More broadly and vaguely defined, left open for borderline scenarios where two artworks by different users seem to have more than "just" a coincidental likeness to each other, but it does not fit the other, more specific types of violations mentioned above. This is handled carefully, on a case-by-case basis, because we have to evaluate whether or not there is any foul play, or if this was just some sort of innocent misunderstanding.
