save theft defenses

Add ideas for in-save save theft defenses here! One of my ideas is adding your name in life 1 via the PROP tool.

There's a dray bomb system that sets it off if you delete the logo, but it's basically pointless because the stealer can just delete the dray bomb and the delete the logo. Theres pretty much almost no way to prevent save stealing.

I like to hide it behind things save stealers won't notice, behind the fps at the top of the save, in complicated tech. Somewhere that seems too important to delete or if using filt actually use the spare bits to write your name in binary, so that it's so much work to steal it's not even worth it.
I only do this if the save is good enough.

I think bombs are kind of dumb, and can be triggered on accident. Logos work more often than you think, most save stealing is just "I clicked publish even though I didn't want to". So if I see a logo in a stolen save I immediately know who made it. Aside from logos, hiding info is properties is really cool. Although a mod would never notice the secret message unless you reported and told us about it.
Most save theft I catch by just looking at it. Usually it's identical and they don't even bother changing the name.
