Author Topic: "THIS GUY STOLE MY BUILD!!!1!1"  (Read 2458 times)

I'm sick of these kinds of people who whine about "build stealing"
When you host a server with your build, you are putting it into the public domain.
Nobody stole your build, you basically gave them the right to have it by hosting it on your server or by posting it on the forums in Gallery. Usually, if someone saves your build, it's a sign if respect that they liked your build and want to discover secrets with it and want to show it to their friends. They may or may not give credit.
In other cases, they might save your build and later host a server with it, and claim they built the build. If you complain about this, I have 5 words for you.
It's your own damn fault. You take the risk of hosting a server with your awesome build on it, and if someone saves it and you cry and whine about it, I will not dry your tears.

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

Agreed! now lock this and repost it in drama

There is two things:

- Saving to explore the build by yourself on your own server (not stealing)
and
- Saving and claiming this is your build (totally stealing)

neither is really stealing, because the host is giving it to them willingly, while stealing is unwillingly taking it from the host

I don't care if someone takes my build,

It's as long as they GIVE CREDIT.

but it's likely that they won't.
then what?

perma ban for life.

perma ban for life.
but they'd still get away with it :/
it's like locking the vault after someone took all of the money from it.

This'll be moved to drama

The bums who don't give credit where credit is due usually wind up in the Drama section, and wind up with permabans from a bunch of servers they've never even been to. It teaches a rough lesson in the end; besides, the stolen ones are usually recognizable because the only people who try to steal builds like that (without giving credit) are people with no pride. People with no pride won't be very good administrators. If the build looks amazing and yet the administration is absolute stuff, you can bet that someone else did most of the building.

Unless Furdle is involved. But he'll build for you and then steal your concepts and integrity, so that works out too.


Op makes a solid point even thou it has some flaws in it. If it was compared to the real world in a way "you came outside to the public, don't cry that we stole your wallet and everything else you had with you" it fails which is the way most players like to take it because they don't understand that internet is a different kind of a place.
