The Powder Toy

Chaokid9

I realize that stealing creations is a big problem in the Powder Toy world, so I propose to you today a suggestion. This mode would allow the editing of a creation, but not stamping, or saving the creation. This could be good to keep your creations public AND safe. I cannot find any other places this was suggested, if you know of a place, please tell me.

Yes, what about having it so you can stamp it, but you can't save it with the stamp in it.

Perhaps you could import stamps, but not export them.

thats a very good idea i was thinking about how other games like this have similar things and it would sort out the whole stealing problem

Then how would others improve on it? There would be a vacuum of ideas. Maybe someone wants to save the improvement they made? Last note is the stamps used as offline saving. If they need to show a friend offline how would they?

I strongly oppose this idea. If you don't want other people to use or improve on your work, don't publish it.

Also, Powder Toy is open source, so circumventing any client side restrictions would not be hard.
