More Level Copying

Recently I found a group of people known as the "DX" Crew. Basically they're going around stealing EX worlds and all they do is change the letters to DX, and use light colors instead of dark colors.

I've so far only found 2 levels of theirs. One isn't EX, but they use the EX logo design as theirs.

Stolen Tutorial World: http://everybodyedits.com/games/PWvI30hj5sbEI

Stolen EXcrew Shift: http://everybodyedits.com/games/PWXaVbBIcHbEI
(I found 2 copy's of this) The other is on Rvanshagens profile.

Names of members I've found:
- Dutchboynl
- Krezz
- Robin07
- Rvanschagen

If A mod or someone could please talk to them, or maybe even threaten them like rpgmaster did to smilis hopefully we can stop this crap.

Re: More Level Copying

Give me a logical argument as to why those who copy levels should be punished, and I may agree with you.   Also, define what copying actually is, along with stealing.

Re: More Level Copying

Hmm let's see here Ex Crew was the very first crew of Everybody Edits and they're highly respected and the Tutorial world was made by Chris and it's stupid to copy a mod. 'Nuff said.

Re: More Level Copying

I wouldn't count copying the tutorial world as copying, because alot of people do it and it's a good twist.
I mean they are not taking credit for it or anything?

Regardless of whether I'll blindly accept this as fact, you didn't say why it's even relevant.

and they're highly respected

Same as above.

and the Tutorial world was made by Chris

Okay?

and it's stupid to copy a mod.

Why would a mod/admin have any special treatment?

'Nuff said.

The day I accept reasoning as pathetic as that will be a very sad one indeed.

For you and anyone else that needs it, I'll stress the most important part of what I said:
"Give me a logical argument"

I'll tell you why: Because it **** me off.

Counter-argument: Not copying does the same to me.

At least put some effort into this.

Not copying **** people off, copying **** people off. Straight out forget about punishing level copiers.

(Not going to put effort into a widely discussed problem)

You're so difficult, are you attention seeking?

Stop looking for an argument, especially on a matter such as this. It's boring to read and pretty much pointless in this case.

Basically, most people do not want to be copied, or they just don't care. EX crew's work doesn't deserve this kind of treatment, it's their work and their work only.

Loosen up Twipply.

@Twipply

Because claiming someone else's hard work as your own isn't fair to the person who put hours of work into their level. Passing off something you didn't even put effort into making.

It doesn't reflect your skills or talents at all. Other than your talent at copying.

Same reason you shouldn't cheat on a test, Its just flat out morally wrong.

Re: More Level Copying

Also add the fact the the nubs who stole it aren't even smart enough to admit it, and just kick you when you mention it.

I was seeking some reason to take this guy's request seriously.   While he may not have done it himself, it's at least somewhat backed up now.   Considering that, I'm fairly content.

As you were.

Loosen up, please. There is no reason to jump at everything because it doesn't have detail, after all it's just a forum for a game.

Maybe, like, you should like, chill out, man.

Twipply, I'm not going to fall into your trap. Let's just get to the point: do you think copying levels is bad?

Re: More Level Copying

Copying means your a nub who has no imagination and you suck at making levels.(okay I copied the concept of Bees level with the green ribbon and unicorn,and I admit it.)

Funnily, your comment is what allows me to say what I'd intended to from the start.

Let's just get to the point: do you think copying levels is bad?

It's hard to be completely original in all regards, so surely we must accept copying to some degree.   How do we measure and decide what's acceptable?   I don't really know.   Going all the way to an identical copy is just plagiarism, it's not really very moral or necessary, and is probably a bad thing.

However, regardless of whether the copying in question is morally acceptable, I think there's something of more importance.   What's created in EE is of such amazingly low value that it's not even worth copying, never mind expending effort to try and stop or be bothered by it.

Re: More Level Copying

Who are we to care if they copy levels? They can copy levels if they wish but that's not showing any talent is it?

Re: More Level Copying

Seriously, who cares if some pack of noobs start to copy levels. They would only make them worse.

EDIT: One was copying Oddysey, that crew is only copying designs, not the minigames. And BTW, like I said before, they are making the level worse than the original so why bother?

Another EDIT: I talked them into making their own designs and I learned they're Dutch.
