Author Topic: Save stealer claims it's his  (Read 4697 times)

So i joined a server called Airplane RP hosted by "Supercoolcreeperrules" (BL_ID: 81720) where i thought it would just be your typical fun airplane rp. Then i see the airplane- It is the United airlines 777 (i think) passenger jet, built by blockland user EPIC CHURROS (http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?action=profile;u=40578). Anyway so on the server, the owner was saying things like "do you guys like my plane?" and saying "yeah it took like 2 weeks to make". Then, me and some other guy were saying the save is stolen, and immedietly he said "NO I MADE IT THEY ARE LYING" And banned us.
Here is the ban:

and here is the original save he stole

also sorry for massive pagestrech

This is why you never want to post your saves in gallery. Especially if you let people download the save.

This idea is toxic and counter productive.  Post your save in the gallery as soon as possible, then there is a public record that you made it first. ~ Badspot

i would think he went on the server and stole it, epic never gave out the save

Building anything in Blockland and then making it at all publicly available is acknowledging and consenting to these risks, whether you like it or not; not doing so simply because you're worried some nobody will say it's their's is stupid.
This happens all the time, there is really no issue because nobody that matters will believe them. There is documentation that he did not build it.

theres a difference between using a build on your server and crediting it and stealing a build and claiming that you made it

Yea. In fact, ill admit it- some servers i go on i will save it just to maybe play around in singleplayer. But saying it's yours and denying it so much is just a richard move.

This save has been recycled and claimed as the host's own for as long as I can remember. More often than not, it's handicapped hosts like this who have no idea what a flight is even like.

Not exactly. When you post your saves you are trusting people to not claim it. Even if they do, you publicly uploaded your build for people to download.

whats the point on bragging about making things anyway. 10 seconds of internet fame? i like and support people that make things for others to use, not people who make things and brag about them or decide to rip or steal things then proceed to brag about it, forget those people. no one likes them.

if you think its a good idea to stuff on people who used your build without your permission but never brought up the claim that they made it, forget you too.

besides do people need other peoples approval or something? if you know you made that build, and someone else took credit for it, who cares. you know deep down you made it, you dont need others to approve of this and you certainly dont need to be a class A douche and brag about making it.

if you build and never get credit for it, big whoop, you just lost the process of becoming an internet celebrity for less than a minute and ending up forgotten the next day, just remember who the real asset of this community is.

My welcome message:

"\\c2Welcome to Blockland %1. Feel free to save the bricks and claim them as your own."

Actually, it's the opposite. If you post your saves in gallery and let people download them, it gives off an opposite effect because everyone can easily identify it as yours, and you can use the thread as proof that you built it.

Hmm, that was the same reason I was banned for, except it was 1 minute. Not to double drama or anything.

I really though we had all grown mature enough to not steal saves, apparently i was wrong.
I hate it when people do this, i never steal saves because i know it wouldn't be right, and its not right to
cheat someone of the respect they would be getting for all their hard work.

This loser should be banned himself.

/100%

If you're really upset about not gaining respect from a build you made you're a pretty huge loser. If the host is handicapped and has someone else's save everyone will know it's not there's. I guess it's kinda douchey, but it's just not that big of an issue.
