Ok, What is this Spark1645 Situation??

1,873 Kazin  1.6 years ago

I see a lot of people reposting his builds overtop of one another lately, with some being taken down. What happened to Spark1645 and why are there so many people just reposting his builds? I get the sense of preservation, but do it on an account that doesn't add to your own point system. I cannot say much on the matter, due to most of my crafts not actually being MY crafts, but merely failed successors that aren't as good as the original, or challenge posts. I'm saying if you're going to repost these crafts that Spark made, make one collective account to put in all his posts, like "Spark1645 Collection", rather than spread it between a group of people using their own personal accounts. Even if it's not for points, there's better ways of going about it rather than using his crafts for points, even if you give him credit and trying to "preserve" them. It doesn't feel right. If im incorrect at any point in this, please let me know.

    @DeutscheLufthansaAG still, other people shouldn't be profiting off his posts, even if they are trying to preserve it. They need to make a Spark1645 Collection account.

    @HuskyDynamics01 I completely agree. I'm just wondering if some people are abusing the system of lost crafts for points. I am not accusing anyone, but for future reference I believe the collection account system would be better for everyone.

    I believe the general idea is that Spark had made a bunch of simple-but-really-good-looking planes, and then deleted his account for... some reason. I don't know the details on that. Since then, people have been trying to reupload as many of his builds as possible (because they are quite good, particularly for mobile users who want realistic-looking planes but can't take high part counts), but it's been super disorganized.


    I like the idea of a Spark1645 Collection account. That would make a lot more sense, and would prevent people from getting points from planes they didn't make or modify. There definitely needs to be coordination on this, at least.
