Asking Permission for saves

    After seeing a lot of saves copied recently, hence why I was inactive for some time. I know I could easily report that the save was stolen, but some users keep copying after reported. I think this would benefit us all that feel the same.

    I'm not sure what this thread is about?

    You can report stolen saves when you find them, it is very helpful to us. For people who want to use saves, asking for permission is always a good thing. Usually save authors say yes.

    People that steal saves that don't ask and the saves on FP should be copy locked. Roblox has a frontpage and some users copy lock their servers due to exploiters but doesn't prevent exploiting to happen. But how about the old front page saves by users that are inactive anymore getting their art stolen and the user who stole the save gets all the credit by doing absolutely nothing. How would you like if someone did that to you? I sure wouldn't.

    ..I usually don't mind unless they copy it and somehow get more credit, but I usually report those.

    Yes, what about the people who steal saves after being reported and continue to steal?

    I am sure it would get annoying if he/she kept reporting the same user over and over! for the same exact reason.

    We don't have any copy locking mechanism in game, you can reupload parts of other people's saves all you want.

    We don't mind of you report them over and over if they are really stealing. We'll just do a ban quicker.

     That would take ages and tremondous downvotes.

     

    I was suggesting a locking mechanism. So the game doesn't look ban happy!

    Not sure if we will do that, but maybe we could add some hidden fields in saves which can be automatically checked to see what save it was stolen from (could store original author / title / save ID).

     Fair enough. But I'd recommend this to @Simon I probably will do that soon as possible.
