What are you even talking about?
No one is "dictating the way others behave". This is just a question of whether it's wrong or right to do something. If the only defense you have for it being a good thing to do is "If people have the right to do it, they will do it" (which I'm not gonna lie, I laughed reading), then you aren't really presenting much, are you.
As for "not causing harm", plenty of reasons were already given as to why reuploading causes harm to the gallery itself, even if we were to ignore personal feelings and "egos".
As for the repetitive dismissive argument I see over and over this thread which consists of the unoriginal sentiments of "Get over yourself", "It's not hurting anyone", "It's not a big deal", all I can say is thanks for stating the obvious? No one said it's a life or death matter. At the end of the day we're discussing a topic on a sims forum, in the grand scheme of the world nothing on this forum matters. Expressing concern over the topic doesn't mean it's the most important thing in the world to me. The way I see it is simple. If a talented creator listens to the oh-so helpful advice in this thread to "stop uploading" if reuploading bothers them, the whole community loses out.
Well, you're the one who didn't get it. First stating that to defend it means we reupload, which really doesn't make sense. Then implying it is wrong, or needed defense, when in fact people are in their right to reupload. It's contradictory. And we shouldn't need more than that to let them do it. Calling it "stealing" is an easy way of coercion, and it's not even what's happening. Your laugh only shows that you didn't understand, but sorry if I haven't explained it enough.
I can see how it makes the gallery somewhat excrescent, that's why I think complaints are only really useful if directed to EA, who clearly allow all that to happen. People will play.
Yes, it's all obvious. If a telented creator can't handle things the way they are, one can fight to change it, my take on OP's point was that calling it stealing is unfair and I agree.
Yes calling it stealing and telling me not to reupload is what my issue is. Now after this topic others are being lumped into a group and are making assumptions.
Makes me feel rebellious to the point of doing what i am being accused of. Lol.
