The Powder Toy

Something Annoying

    The thing I find most annoying is the amount of votes stealers get. Some stealers copy a whole creation and than manage to get about 500 votes. For example is you look up the work arctic you would expect to find arctic city 1,2,3,4,5,6 and 7 but... Half of the things are complete copies of these. The main reason these stealers get away with this and get so many votes is because people do not check who made the save. If someone told them to check out a well known save they would not lookat who made the save and would possably vote up a stealer. In case you have not noticed I am ranting a bit now but it just angers me how many stealers there are.

    The question is, how to determine whether or not it is the original....

    The main way to do this would be to just use the save with the most votes although hat does not always work.

    It's possible to figure out by looking at history, or superficially, at dates.

    Largely stolen saves we won't touch unless it's either painfully obvious, or someone gives a report with enough information for us to decide on.

    One of the annoying things is that If the original uploader updates, then it looks like they stole it, to the public anyway.(because of the date), but then you can check the history for that save to determine who posted first... so... I suppose my little argument cancels out its self...

    1.)Thanks for giving Arctic as an example. :D
    2.)If you see stolen saves, just report them. Like me.
