This is plagiarism. Although, they are impersonating me. But under my name, he is doing abusive and stupid things, and is claiming the wrecked edition of Isar is real. So this is slander. Now, I'm no legal expert obviously, but since my real name is associated with the IcyGamma nickname, is that in no sense identity fraud? They are claiming to be IcyGamma, so they are claiming to be the person behind the nickname. --- End quote --- If there was any legal issues involved here it would have been prevented by Badspot in the first place. Like I said. You are using software that has, as one of its intended uses, the ability to save data, in this case builds, from other peoples servers. Also, plagiarism applies to literary works. The identity thing perhaps, but you can't prevent that. |

This whole ordeal seems a little blow out of proportion. Welcome to BL. People are going to save your build if they want - whether you like it or not. Thankfully, Badspot doesn't seem to give two stuffs about nit-picking the game to death with rules that protect against build plagiarism. It is plagiarism, but the entire community already knows that you built the original to begin with. Yes, everyone has seen your gallery posting about Isar. Don't worry, no one actually thinks Valid built it. Not even he thinks that, seeing as how he admitted he was trolling you. In the long run, you should be flattered. Flattered that someone thought your build was good enough to save and pass off as their own. Will banning one player really bring you retribution? Probably not, seeing as how the save is now out there and floating around. You really bring more negative attention to yourself by posting threads like these than Valid could do impersonating you. Lastly, if you're so worried about your reputation among the forums, it probably isn't too wise to call the community stupid when hunting down Valid in a server. Just sayin. |

I also agree that the guy that did the impersonating was an starfish and should be looked down upon by the community for what he did. However, he was still allowed to do it. :) |

We've all been playing longer than you, don't try to tell me what this community is. --- Quote from: Titanium on January 12, 2011, 12:31:31 AM ---In the long run, you should be flattered. --- End quote --- Oh, no no no. This whole "its flattering" cover up is such BS. I am not flattered. If people actually appreciated the Isar project, they would understand rehosting it ruins it. |
