In the interest of stemming the tide of PM's I'm getting about the same five items... :)
At this point, everything that we'd DQ for a copyright violation has been flagged and DQ'd.
If you see something and realize, "oh, this is obviously [something]" from Dr. Who, or from Pokémon, or from some other IP, we've decided it's not a close enough copy to merit disqualification.
For example, a magic bracer that shoots a web that can immobilize a target or act like a grappling hook is obviously a copy of Spider-Man's web-shooters. But such an item has a long way to go before it's an actual copyright violation—for example, if it were called Parker's web shooter*, or even Thwip's webbed bracer** that's a problem and we'd DQ it. If it were just called bracer of the striking webs, that's generic enough that we'd allow it.
So at this point you don't need to PM me about items that may be copyright infringements.
Thanks!
*Because Peter Parker is Spider-Man.
**Because in the comics, the noise the web-shooters make is "thwip."

I don't think it should be DQ'ed but there is an item that was lifted from a webcomic directly. It is unoriginal and should not be voted up for that reason.
I obviously can't describe the item directly nor should I link to the (NSFW) comic from which it was copied.
But I can silently judge the 'creator'.
