Author Topic: Disallow saving on other servers.  (Read 494 times)

Because of IcyGamma's recent troubles with people stealing his crap, I think something needs to be done about place stealing. And not only in his case, but many others' too. People are tired of having worked on their builds for so long and hard just to have it stolen by some wannabe. It's something that must end.

Of course if the host would want people to be able to save, then it should be an option whether or not to disable saving, maybe going as far as allowing it for Admins or Super Admins, but not anyone lower.

Even if you removed the default ability, it wouldn't be impossible to recode it. All the data is held clientside.

Listen up noobs, saving is here to stay.  If you can't handle someone else playing with your build, grow the hell up.

If you start doing gay stuff to break my game, I'm going to start banning you from the master server.  This is a war you don't want to start because I'm the only one with nukes.

Badspot's generally not hugely clear on what his opinion is on things like this, but I think in this case, he's made his point quite well.

you can only disable saving events, but they will still be able to save the bricks regardless, as the server must give the people the file so that they can render it

the only possible way to make saving impossible is to replace each default brick with a custom brick that is the same. if you're too stupid or too lazy to do that just write your name all over it. in genera i don't have problems with people saving by builds because A. my name is all over the loving thing and B. i generally don't build things that people would want to take due to the only good builds i have put on the forums. icy should have seen the build leak coming, no matter what he says he IS well known and people were bound to take his build.
