lmao this entire thread

Man, you miss a lot in a matter of hours...

Anyways, It'd be great if people were more open, and I won't lie and say that I give away everything I make either, so we all need to step up in this.

But what i dislike about him the most is how, lets say i get perma'd once or twice. Then i am offically a problem user i should be banned on sight even if i had changed.

User was banned for this post
By that logic, I shouldn't be here right now then.

I share that with you.

it's not that hard not to get banned, like really

The idea behind the gamemode system was to provide a way for creative people to package their gameplay creations and share them with other people.  One of the central complaints by new users is that you just get an empty box and it's hard to know what to do - you can join a server and see some really cool game mode or build, but how do you run something like that?  Well with gamemodes, the people who know what they're doing could package up their cool server config and release it for other people to use. 

However, that's not what happens.  There is this toxic concept of "idea stealing" that is deeply engrained in the community so that no one ever releases anything that they've made.  They run a server, then they stop and their creation is never seen again.  No one is allowed to play with their ball without them. 

I don't know if there isn't enough glory in releasing a game mode or if Blockland just appeals to the wrong end of the psychological spectrum or if there some other flaw in the system, but this is the problem.  It's not technological, it's sociological. 

I remade speedkart to show people the potential of the gamemode system and to make a fun game based on community creations, and all people do is stuff on me for "stealing" it. 
It's because in order for people to want to make and release cool gamemodes they want a system where they can easily upload it with a click of a button and have people like/rate/subscribe/whatever and then see how well their gamemode compares to others.

Hell, now that RTB is gone, it would be possible to put a system like that in the main game, right? I understand that's probably harder than it sounds, but it could increase the amount of shared add-ons and gamemodes.

I just realize Iban posted thus just yesterday and it nearly has as much views as the drama rules

Ya he was, he linked to gaylord furry research and tried to make it look like a forum Self Delete (talk about damage control).That'd be Okiver, returns every now and then to get banned a week later.
Holy stuff, i was friends with okiver when he was still in the community
