As we all know ifilers are lurking around era taking away customs that had been worked on for hours and then uploaded to their sites, then random players upload it as their own which leaves multiple players angered by all their hard work being stolen. Many thought that it's near impossible to create a script similar to the YouTube music copyright which analyzes music and checks if it matches any protected content,well, those players are correct.
This is why other ways should be thought through as I have now which adds a somewhat better way to protect customs from being taken away and I thought of the following:
-Every player that uploads a custom has the choice to 'protect' a custom for a specified amount of cash (which will reduce the spam of protecting customs and prevent random protection)
-Every protected custom will be shown in a new button located either next to the achievements button or in the "Look" tab showing a small part of the image and next to it a date of protection
- when the player spots his protected head on someone he is allowed to report him for taking his head though the consequence is never a warn nor a jail, a staff member will check both parties for the protected head and if he finds that one of them protected a head that looks mostly similar to the other player it means that the staff will give a full refund to the thief player (since we never know if he knew it was stolen)
-in case both players protected the same head the one who protected his head first gets to keep it (depending on the date written next to the protected custom)
- A notification will pop up when the player logs online or is already online explaining why the head was refunded
-this will reduce the amount of fake gfx websites and will improve the human hard work
Anything this system needs fixing? Did I forget anything ? Tell me your opinions.
