We want to share what we create for others to download and enjoy - BUT - what we would LOVE is the choice of whether or not that user can then re-upload what we made as their own work .We don't want to stop re-uploading altogether. We would just like the choice! It would stop you seeing 100's of the same thing on the gallery and it would make the cool stuff easier to find! Click here to see more: #creators4fairplay

I personally would select Allow re-upload on my starters, I understand how fun it is to furnish a starter and share it. But something that i spent 90 hours on, I would not want that re-uploaded. Re-uploading a masterpiece is like painting a mustache on the Mona Lisa.

Exactly ... I have posted a couple of shells, left the interiors to whomever downloads it. But there are a few I have spent hours and hours on and don't want anyone else to take credit for my build. I mean, seriously, I had my pirate ship copied, my maze and tower copied, don't know what else, if any, and I have seen amazing designs of others I follow copied. Makes me really angry. I even posted a comment on the page of the players who did the reuploads. Didn't do any good but made me feel better.

I want creative control of my contributions the gallery. If they would just give us a switch to allow or disallow sharing, there would be peace in the valley again and we could all go back to doing what creators love most...creating. :)

I'm boosting this as it seems to have gone quiet.

I'm not sure exactly how the mechanics of policing this would work... but I guess that's the developer's job.I agree that some things should be able to be re-uploaded and not others though! Sometimes I do a half-plummed job of something, or finish 90% of it but just don't know how to get the other 10% done and would even like some help to get over the line. I wouldn't call myself a 'creator' as I'm not exactly masterful, but credit where credit's due.ESPECIALLY if you're spending that kind of time on something! Wow, 90 hours!!

@SmallAurelius ... I'm not a coder either but not allowed reuploading should be fairly simple to do. There is also a glitch that allows people to remove the original creators name. Won't post how it's done here, in case others want to use it, but it is possible. But if a creation is marked not for reupload, then there could be some sort of code blocking that. It's a bit of a mess.

The way I see it , it wouldnt matter what was changed. If that lot is marked as someone elses, and that creator has chosen to opt out of re-uploading, then it should be easy to block re uploading.

I favor a permission checkbox for creators. That would be the best scenario

It will make it easier to find Originals instead going through the re uploads
