I just oppose the idea. It's preventing people from improving the project and basically saying copyrighted projects. @mniip(View Post) I'm trying to work on a creation comparing script. Using RGB comparison of images. It's close to polishing, but it'll require master templates. If we compare every creation it takes a long time. Imagine comparing 100k+ creations.
Here are my thought on this, there should be a way for the creator to make a decision on if they (the creators) want others to edit their saves or not. Maybe a button making it to where if someone tries to edit and save it as their own wouldn't allow them to publish it. This would also allow public saves to where the creations that don't have that feature turned on would be able to be edited and published with the original creator in bold print then the other(s) underneath. That way, there is WAY less theft going on and a much more enjoyable experience.
I agree with the mods that this would limit the game severly.SO i decided to come up with my own idea :D
What ABOUT having it so the stamps have a tiny little "tag" of data attached to them saying where they were stamped from ( what save id) AND who authored the save) AND every save where one of those stamps was used wold have a copy of that little piece of data so that , if not everyone then atleast the mods, any stealing disputes could be resolved more easily
and while im aware that one could always stamp it in another blank doc and then either restamp or recreate or whatever and then put it in their save it would ATLEAST make it as annoying as hell to do , therefore LOWERING not REMOVING but LOWERING the amount of stealing , because i mean face it ...its just bloody impossible to remove stealing without getting rid of stamping and adding TONS of restrictions
its a case tho of "well if we can completely fix it then might as well not do it at all" in my opinion because if NOTHING is done then its almost like saying "here mr bank robber ill just shutoff the cameras, delete the recording, disable the alarms and give you the vault combination"
