I just read the site protection policy and it’s screwed up.
Okay, this ought to be good...certainly the insightful and constructive criticism of an intelligent mewmber of this community might be something that could brighten my day, correct? I have a feeling my hopes are about to be shattered.
I know that there is a small group of people that want to learn but there is another side to it.
And down they go. Small? Most of the time when someone opens someone else's map, it to find out how they did something. Thats a fact. For every map that is stolen, there are thousands that are not.
banana2000-for evry house that has been broken into there are thousands that havent-banana200
People are protecting there maps so that they get the credit for their work.
Protecting maps gets people gredit? Does that mean I got no credit for my work because none of mine are protected? Does that mean if I use 10 different map protectors on one, I'll get more credit then anyone else's map? Well shoot, I must've been an IDIOT this whole time.
banana2000- ll anser you first question quite simply..... no. im talking about the cases that there have been.
I have to examples in life right now. I could tell you about. darky do you lock your house before you leave? If so why? is it to keep thieves out? Well don’t you think they could learn about what brand of plasma screen tv makes one that size?
Someone intruding into your house to steal something is a federal crime, punishable under court of law. Home invasion can easily lead to bodily harm and even death. Last I heard no one was beaten, raped, killed or robbed or true monetary value over the openining of a map. Opening somone else's is not a crime, genious.
banana2000- ok first off and i will be repeating this agin unforunately i was useing an exsample. to show how stupid the basic concept is.
-banana2000
You’re preventing them from learning.
You mean preventing someone from learning how to commit crimes? Thats called aiding an embedding a criminal.
banana2000- told you id have to repeat this. EXSAMPLE! your takeing it too literaly and by breaking it apart you preventing thngs that were suposed to go to geather to make a finer poit from going together that manipulating what i said without changing the words -banana2000
Another is copy righting. People in the world today buy rights to things that designed to make sure there’s no competition
Go to the World Editor End User Licence Agreement. Read the second paragraph. Tell me what it says.
Whats wrong? Too lazy? Here, I'll read it for you:
"2. Ownership.

Guess what that means? Every single thing you produce with the world editor
IS ALREADY PROPERY OF BLIZZARD ENTERTAINMENT. You have copywrites over JACK.
banana2000- EXSAMPLE! YOU FRICKEN IDIOT!! i wasn't talking about that i was showing another senaio were that same tipe of thing is used.
They do it so they can feed their families at night!
Thats funny....I've built 23 maps and an 11 map campaign and never once has it put a meal on my table.
banana2000-EXSAMPLE!!!! I NEED TO START COPYING AND PASTING THAT WORD!!!-banana2000
There are thousands of maps that are unprotected if they need help they can copy of of blizards
Blizzard doesnt do a fraction of the things that talented fans can do. There is little you can learn from them other then maybe terraining.
banana2000-i did cover that by saying that they didn't need to be starting with maps like bug evalution. besides there are maps that go into far more detale than humans vs. orcs. why dont they use dawn of the dead to figure it out?-banana2000
162 to be exact (not inclusing campaign maps)...all but 7 are melee....thats quite different then "THOUSANDS OF MAPS!!!". Thats not good variety for learning.
-banana2000 heres the pathetic thing about you people you dont understand the word exsaduration. anythin that starts with ex i supose-banana2000
But the majority wants to take credit for things they didn't do
My experience with dealting with thousands of mappers and modding this site for almost 2 years tells me otherwise.
-banana2000 ill give here that shees been here for too years thats fine by me.-banana2000
YOU WANT BUT YOU CANT STOP ME FROM PROTECTING MAPS!
When did Darky or I ever say that we could? Its your freedom.
-banana2000 actions are more powerful than words you have one of the most powerful sites on the web half the people on wc3 go to this site dont eaven pretend that you dont have an influince over people.
-banana2000
it’s called... TALERINCE LIBERAL PEOPLE!
Funny....considering liberals are not exactly known for tolerance.
banana2000- ya i know. that was my point-banana2000
...and its T-O-L-E-R-A-N-C-E.
