Build/Add-on stealing?
Hellriot:
I'm unsure of where this would belong at, so I'll post it here.
Players on here steal builds and claim it as their own. The builder comes here and complains about it. They get flammed and people say stuff like, "It's Badspot's since he owns the game." and "Your hosting a public server so your sharing your build with others. They can take it if they want."
This situation is just the same as if someone stole and add-on. Yet, if that were to happen, then people actually see it as something to worry about. Add-ons and builds are just the same. They are part of Blockland, meaning Badspot owns them. If you uploaded it to the internet, that is just the same as hosting a public server, letting others in to see the build. Allowing them to save it.
If someone steals an add-on and takes credit for it, how is that any different from stealing a build and taking credit for it?

How do you steal an add-on? If you host a public server, visitors only download the model and such but not the script. Therefore you cannot steal add-ons.

I didn't say anything about the add-on coming from a blockland server. Please read the whole thing first....
Antallion:
Well, how did they get a hold of the add-on to steal it? It's a completely different situation to hosting a public server and someone stealing the build, to steal an add-on the add-on maker would have either given it to you are already released it.
Regulith:
Step 1: Upload to Mediafire, or don't upload it at all. If you don't upload, skip to step 4.
Step 2: Click the folder you uploaded to.
Step 3: Click "Make Private".
Step 4: No stealing.
