Same Level Issues

Hello,

        I am just recently getting back into EE, as I took a break for college related issues. I came up with an idea of a Skill Based race; a brand new totally fitted concept that gives benefits to those who are quick, as well as disadvantages, and many others ways people struggling behind can still have a chance to triumph. The game resets upon one person completing the level, and everyone starts back at the beginning.
        I recently came across a user, Biximi, who I had seen in my Skill Racing map while moderating game play and fixing issues within the map, making another map with the exact same idea, even named "Skill Raceing". (Terribly spelled wrong, I might add) This infuriates me, because I planned on making a series of these types of races as a sort of "Trick of my Trade" while making EE maps. He or she has stolen the same map mechanics as well, near down to the tee. Is there any action that can prevent them from doing this? I have already made a Skill Race v2, and plan on making a Skill Race v3, which will be considered the "Large Map Skill Race." I was going to advertise this new map in Skill Race v2 map, as it has many plays and quite a few people online per day.
        It is very disappointing to see someone stealing my ideas, which in turn made me sign up on the forums to write this post. With the newest update through Facebook, I've decided to make an account before I started spending to much energy, and copy the maps over to the account named SkyyCloud. My Facebook account is SkySacred, and the maps can be seen there. A hasty response would be much appreciated and feel free to move this topic anywhere.

Thank you,
Skyy

P.S. I just went through his or her level and was disappointed to find some of the same minigames as well as winning mechanic.

Re: Same Level Issues

Kind of tl;dr... Please rephrase it with paragraphs.

Re: Same Level Issues

It is really frustrating to find people copying your levels. It happens to me a lot, so here are some tips:
1. When making your world, censor it, and only allow people you can trust in.
2. Make your profile private.
3. Post your level on the forums once you have finished.
4. Guest bomb (manually or use a bot) so more people notice it.
5. Keep in mind that people will always copy levels if they think of themselves as not creative, and don't see it as a bad thing.

I hope this helped you somewhat. Good luck on your future levels.

You can't prevent this but you can "steal the spotlight" while they fumble to make a bad version of it. Also come up with new ideas before your "opposion" makes the copy that they guest bomb.
