I'm here to officialy say I plan to remove this problem.
People, you need to stop ripping off other peoples maps without permission. If they say don't copy it, it means DON'T COPY IT!
I have already found people copying my map. I told you not to copy it!
I might have to go into Bad Cop mode if this doesn't stop. |

Copyers will be delt with by punishment! |

what you gonna do to them? when my stuff started to get copied and i asked people not to copy it, well then just started to copy it even more. There is unfortunatly not much you can do about copy people... i wish there was something you could do about it, but the only thing i can think of is everytime you see them you just attack them constantly lol. |

Okay we'll start with that. TELL ME OF ANY COPIERS AND THEY WILL BE REMOVED FROM MY FRIENDS, THERE FOR BANNED FROM MY MAPS AND THEY SHALL BE SPAMMED WITH KILLINGS! |

RP I based my CTF game off your CTF script. Ive added a lot to it since, and Im going to make a wall in the map with credits (opposite one with instructions), your name can go above mine on this wall. What Im asking is can I make the map public? |

We'd like to come up with a good solution to this problem - any ideas?
One thing we are thinking about is a "read-only bit" for a level. When set, only the creator can save.
The problem with this scheme is that we suspect everyone will make their places read-only, limiting the number of "public domain" places that anyone can copy, tweak, and republish. There is a large section of the Roblox population that isn't interested in building a place from scratch, but would rather throw together a bunch of models and color them differently, ect. As levels become larger we expect to see the following stratification of builder roles:
1) Master builders - these people build huge levels, from scratch. They represent 1% of all Roblox users.
2) Level designers - these people take mostly pre-made models and put them together in an interesting map that is fun to play.
3) Modelers - these people make cool buildings, cars, planes, weapons, trees, fences, robotic killing machines, dogs, houses, trains and bridges. They will probably have a simple level that they built their creation in, but it won't be the most fun thing to have a BrickBattle in.
We don't want to cripple the evolution of these roles by copy-protecting all content on Roblox.
BY FAR THE BIGGEST PROBLEM, however, is this: a player joins roblox, plays for 2 months, builds some awesome and very popular levels, copy-protects them and then quits, never to come back. Now no one will ever be able to play his really fun levels ever again.
I'm not saying these issues can't be solved. We know we need to solve them. We just need to make sure we get it right the first time. |

Easy, I have a couple solutions to this (greatly worded) argument:
1) Holders of bricksmith badges should have the right to lock, this shows they've been through the system and have something valuable they don't want stolen (like drivable bullet trains!)
2) Time lapse, no log-ins from players for over say 3 month have there maps un-locked. May be a bit tricky in the PHP but reasonable. Send a warning email to.

I disagree with the first idea. I may not have a bricksmith badge but I am a good builder and many people have copied my place. Anyone should be allowed to lock there place. I like your second idea alot. If you allow anyone to lock there place with the 3 month rule that would be the best! |

Yeah a copy lock with a timeout is also something we have talked about. We'll probably let anyone do it.
The timeout will probably be more like one month - but will reset whenever you log in. |

My maps are getting fitted with my newest BANSPAM script.
It relentlessly kills anyone in the ban list. So beware enemies! I wouldn't want STATS to save ;) |

hey i just randomly got ideal
iam too lazy to see if any one already said this but
on configur you place there could be a third thing "online mutiplayer public- solo friends only"
so like the muti player place could be public but the solo is friends only
this would mean the ppl could see u place with lots of ppl but could't copy it
and ves versa
