ABOUT Scribblenauts Against Creation Theft

"I have a dream, of where workshop items cannot be copied, and cannot be put back onto the workshop with a mere arm or leg changed." ~{§¶🎃🎃K} PUMPKINS_™

We, the Scribblenauts Against Creation Theft, are wholly and completely against the Three Major Issues within the Scribblenauts communities.

Unrepentant Stealing
This is probably the single largest issue the Scribblenauts Community suffers from. The Scribblenauts Editor allows users to create their own objects, but more often than not, it is used simply to copy other peoples' work, and reupload it. Almost always, this new, reuploaded version, gives no credit to the original author, and gets subscribers.
This category of issue has a two sub-categories, which make up this one.

No Credit Given
Every time a creation is reuploaded, whoever reuploaded it gives no credit to the original author, claiming (s)he created the object themselves. If any credit is given at all, it is given like, "BY I DONT KNOW".

Unpermitted Edits
Many times an object is stolen, the thief recolors it, and tacks on more stamps, just to make it look like he did something. Then the crook will name it something like 'Indominus Rex FIXED", when all they really did was make it look/function worse. These edits are done without the original author's consent.


Lazy Craftsmanship
This category is one that I see quite frequently. The would-be author takes an object that came pre-loaded in the game, loads it into the editor, and recolors it. Then they reupload this object, give it a eye-catching name, and get subscribers. In addition to recoloring, they also

Stamp Spam
Stamp Spam is where would-be authors simply insert a pre-made creation into the editor, and add stamps such as:
"Angry Eyes"
"Mouth"
"Moustache"
"Bling"
Etc. These stamps come pre-loaded in the editor, so the creator didn't even bother finding stamps to use.
Another issue we have that relates to Lazy Craftsmanship is

Undeserved Praise
Ater recoloring or stamp spamming, the would-be author uploads their poorly -made creation, and names it something like "BATMAN SWAGGY"
Then, the masses flock to this garbage, and give it thousands of underserved comments, likes, favorites, and subscribes, even though the author did nothing to deserve them.

Overlooked Goodies
Because the poorly made creations are so popular, the creations that took people hours of hard work to make never get subscribed to. The people who make objects like these have put a chunk of their lives into mastering the editor, learning all the best objects, finding out how the paint color affects the creation, etc. And yet, because they didn't Stamp Spam, their creations are overlooked. A handful aren't ingnored, of course, as there are always exceptions, but the vast mojority of well-made objects go under the radar, with only fifteen to thirty subscribers.

TL:DR
We don't want people to steal other people's Scribblenauts creations, and to put work into theirs.

If you have any potential solutions to the problems above, feel free to comment below.

Some of you guys might remember Neon Hammer who used to make Scribblenauts items a while back and is in this group. That was me but my account has been taken over by scammers so I'm looking for help getting it back. If you could report Neon Hammer for "involved in theft, scamming, fraud, or other malicious activity" and then say "their account seems to be have been compromised" it might help me get back control of my account faster

I've heard of all the 3 main issues within the Scribblenauts community, and I do very good work on each of my objects. If I want the object to be in my style, It would look as good as I've wanted it to be.

If someone actually tells me if they can use permission to have my objects as a base, I'll allow it as long as they credit me. If someone didn't ask my permission & stole it (Which is during most of the time), I wouldn't allow it at all, so I'd have to do something with it.

I just uploaded the first few characters in my undertale blade of fear series for scribblenauts unlimited, thanks to sans for letting me use some of his creations as a baseplate.

Yeah. I say, if people are stealing things, they should be called out on it.
