18. Removal of / Circumventing Map Protection
InfoMap protection and deprotection is by nature imperfect, as there is no official way to encrypt a map to render it completely unreadable unless authorized. Maps cannot be entirely unreadable as the game must still play them. Hence this rule.
- Discussion of the general methodology and technology behind map protection and deprotection is acceptable.
- Discussion on deprotection of specific maps is allowed in cases where the original map author is inactive/unreachable and the map is considered abandoned, or where it is your own map. Otherwise, the map author's permission would be required before proceeding.
There are many ways of contacting the staff, read here for further information.
