direone 3697 Posted March 17, 2018 And btw I can post a retexture and say "yeah I will release them soon" and bla bla bla but never release it for problems of real life 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FallujahMedic -FM- 867 Posted March 17, 2018 The problem stems from people trying to subvert and justify the posting of stolen content by saying "private" or "unreleased" mods. Its a simple rule. If you want to showcase your "private and unreleased and unannounced work", do it somewhere else. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EO 11274 Posted March 17, 2018 I disagree, the problem stems from BI Forum hierarchy being unable to differentiate the posting of stolen content from the posting of genuine private/personal work using vanilla assets. So the answer is to implement a broad brush rule that lumps everyone together. 11 minutes ago, FallujahMedic -FM- said: If you want to showcase your "private and unreleased and unannounced work", do it somewhere else.

So the answer is to implement a broad brush rule that lumps everyone together. Let me edit that for you: "I disagree, the problem stems from BI Forum hierarchy (Unpaid volunteer moderators) being unable to differentiate the posting of stolen content from the posting of genuine private/personal work using vanilla assets (who don't have unlimited hours in every day to scour through every upload to ensure that they really are private or personal mods). So the answer is to implement a broad brush rule that lumps everyone together., (like traffic signs that guide motorists and remind them what is right and what is wrong and that poor behaviour comes with consequences. Real rules just like real life.) 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EO 11274 Posted March 17, 2018 I didn't mean for you to take my "BI Forum hierarchy" comment personally, (I have great respect for moderators that do their work here for free) It was aimed towards those who implement new rules and guidelines. I assumed these would be paid BI employees. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wiki 1558 Posted March 17, 2018 IMHO, I do understand why "private addons" are forbidden - as it is possible to be stolen work (like a MH-60 blackhawk model) Concerning the retextures however, as it is just textures... I don't know, but I think there is less risk to have stolen texture than stolen asset. I think I would allow "private retexture" for screenshots. Then again, it's just my POV. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lordfrith 401 Posted March 18, 2018 there is the 'community texture template' thread or something similar for sharing individual texture files. So if a screen shot needs a custom texture just post that as well. peace :D 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bitesrad 481 Posted March 22, 2018 You could also change the rules to 'no more contemporary SOF pictures' if you want to curb the stolen content issue ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° ) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wsxcgy 1960 Posted March 23, 2018 6 hours ago, Wiki said: How so? stolen assets are rife in those sorts of posts, though I've seen a good deal of stolen content in all types. rather than restricting post categories, restricting posters would be a lot more effective in curbing the stolen mods problem IMO. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hvymtal 1251 Posted March 25, 2018 Yo, my latest post in photography is listed as "hidden" and my name, post count rank, etc are pink. Was the photography thread changed to approve only? If so, what was the reason? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It said it was hidden but there was no reason listed so I dont think any of us hid it on purpose. Maybe bug? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hvymtal 1251 Posted March 25, 2018 Strange to say the least Oh well, it's up now. Took me twice as long as I expected to shoot it due to poses not working like I wanted them to, but I got something decent. Now to figure out how the hell I'm going to do the next one and coax the AI into doing what I want it to. I think I'll just preshoot the one after just because it's easier lol XD @Rich_R holy cow we posted at exactly the same time 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

disco.modder 116 Posted March 27, 2018 @haleks regarding your photos 3rd Kind Encounters I noticed you said no addons. did you add the spaceship in with photoshop? they're great photos! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haleks 8212 Posted March 27, 2018 @di5co: Nope, no photoshop. If you take a good look at the second screen, you'll see that the spaceship actually consists of 8 "USS Freedom" sticked together. ;) 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
