I would like to hear opinions of other users and of course Moderators, and what can be done about this issue, if anything ?

That feels too time-consuming to be a good solution. Even automation wouldn't help in certain cases.
As to how we can prevent this from happening; only thing you can do is doing research on the person requesting a sig/avie, if you want to fulfill his/her request. I generally just stopped doing requests a long ago, since quite a few people don't even know what they want. Asking for a sig, using it for a week and then asking for another one. That just insults our effort.
Another thing happening to me - someone didn't even ask for a permission; used my sigs on other forums while using my own image hosting site. So they stole "my" art, used it elsewhere so I can't see it
AND ate my bandwidth on Photobucket. Revenge was sweet though, I just made a different image with the same filename.
