Yeah it's "THAT" thread, and I gave an example about why I can't call someone "stealing" for using the same concept.
The example was the IED build and my PAPI build. They both used aggressive AI reactions.
And I was accused of advertising my own creations and got (censored)-ed by the guy.
I mean, seriously? does this even count?
I consider myself, especially when visiting an American website, a guy who belongs to the left half of the ideology spectrum. I was even prepared for being called a SJW for not putting Swastikas on my German planes (despite the rules allow doing so, and yes, this was the original reason why I came up with the whole SU1946 settings in order to put Chinese Nationalist roundels on them instead). But even I wouldn't have such a strict view on copyright and "advertisement".
So yeah I need to listen, does this count here? I'm just one month old here so I definitely will face some learning curves when trying to understands the rules here, written or otherwise.
@Jerba It's a thing of past already.
Basically in order to make a point, I linked my creation and one of other's as examples, and was accused of "advertising my own work".
I have no idea what this is talking about. Can you explain it in a more simple way?
@vcharng do whatever you want, good luck
@Minecraftpoweer Right then.
I'l just leave this post be, and continue my next plane.
@vcharng I would personally just try to avoid the drama that may occur from it, some people will think its advertising and some wont, and some will probably start some drama.
@Minecraftpoweer "remove the forum" do you mean remove this post or sth?
I am fully aware it's not the end of the world. I posted this just to ask about the alleged advertisement.
I would just remove the forum to stop more drama from happening, i myself have been blocked by people for various reasons, it's not the end of the world.
@vcharng I guess just go on with your day as normal, stuff always happens on this site.
@Minecraftpoweer Frustration is also my guess, but as you definitely know, a guess from the exactly same guy who got _ed by him usually doesn't count.
@vcharng ooh I see, that's much clearer to understand. I guess just wait for peoples opinions. I don't really think it's advertising but I guess it could be easy to think it is. Maybe he was just frustrated or something?
@Minecraftpoweer In order to make a point, I gave links about my PAPI and the IED. PAPI was made by me, IED was made by someone else. They both use aggressive AI.
My point was : if you think sb. stole your Harrier, do you think I should say that IED stole the idea from my PAPI about using aggressive AI?
Of course not, right? So the point is, there will be people using your ideas and it's ok.
But that guy states that my action of posting and mentioning my creation is a kind of advertisement and thus "took appropriate actions".
@vcharng I'm not a moderator so I wouldn't know. But I don't really get the advertising your own stuff part.. Did you like say an example and then someone said you were advertising your things or what? It's very unclear imo.
@Minecraftpoweer Well my intention was to ask whether this was indeed "advertising my works". This can be posted, right?
And unfortunately mentioning the story of me being blocked was a integral part of it.
Sure I can "censor" all the wordings about being blocked, but is that necessary? and does that even work?
Also it's "don't post about a certain player who blocked you."
I didn't mention his name and I never will.
The rules mentioned three situations:
1. mentioning the PERSON who blocked you.
2. mentioning the PERSON who blocked your friend.
3. mentioning an incident in which certain people (PLURAL) blocked one another.
I don't think my post fits any of the above.
Whatever happened, i don't want to be involved but making a post about you getting blocked is against the rules.
Blocking players is okay
It is every player’s right to block whomever they wish for whatever reasons they wish.
Being blocked by a user in no way hampers your ability to enjoy the game or this website. If someone blocks you, be a better person and simply move on.
If you retaliate in response to being blocked, then you will be banned. Do not post or comment about a player who blocked you, about a specific player who blocked a friend of yours, or about a specific incident about specific people involved in blocking one another.
It was BogdanX
as long as your build advertisement isn't spammy (example, posting a forum telling what it can do, advantages and disadvantages and some screenshots, or a whole video about it) is fine, i assume
