Prevent Build Stealing in Wilds (2 Changes)

[crude zodiac]

Wilds seems like it could be a fun place to paste your map down and see how other people enjoy it, but people constantly steal each other's builds and play it off as their own so I thought of 2 ways to prevent this.

1: If a No Copy sign is in the pasted map, no one except the person who pasted the map should be able to remove the sign. They should just get a message that they can't remove this no copy sign!

2: When someone pastes in a map, they should be able to force clear the map without the need for a clear vote. Now, I think this should stop working maybe 15-20 minutes after the map is pasted as by that point people sometimes just start building their own stuff and are no longer just checking out the main build so a force clear would essentially turn into mass-griefing. lol

I have had maps before where people griefed through the builds getting rid of no copy signs and voted no to clearing the map allowing them to steal my map. Sure, you can report them for griefing if you catch them, but that doesn't change the fact that they stole your map. I also feel that this would make people more comfortable with pasting cool creations into wilds without the worry about people just stealing it and playing it off as their own.

Let me know what y'all think of these and what tweeks you think they may need.

idea

a block

or a setting

that selects YOUR build

like you grab the thingy like zone copier

[near pond]

yes bro

[pine moth]

and that space can't be griefed by anyone else except you for a lil bit

[crude zodiac]

I feel like this could be good, but like at the same time, you gotta think about trap maps...

Seems cool in practice but would need a way to ensure it couldn't trap people.

[pine moth]

yeah but the space can't be near spawn

[near pond]

advanced options menu is in wilds

[crude zodiac]

That would work

[crude zodiac]

errr i need people to see this thread so i'm sending this message...

What we really need is something similar to wilds where all you can do is paste maps, no destroying or placing creative mode blocks

Basically just a showcase mode that isn’t attached to CWs

[regal phoenix]

I like this suggestion

But somebody could technically paste in a map that has no copy signs blocking the entrance

[merry plinth]

YES

[celest quarry]

In that case, players could return to the lobby with the advanced options, and clear the map from inside the lobby

I think it's good, but a problem is trap maps. You could make a giant box with several layers of no-copy signs and a constant power block going into a ticker going into a recall teleporter or smtn that locks people in.

ALSO an undo map paste, it makes me LIVID when just barley half the server accepts a map paste in wilds when everyone clearly has builds

[crude zodiac]

Yes, but I think maybe a limit should also be added so like no more than 2 or 3 no copy signs per map.

[crude zodiac]

Love this. lol

[crude zodiac]

I believe this would also address @regal phoenix's concern since you can't block a whole lobby entrance with just a few signs.

[regal phoenix]

That would make sense, because why would somebody need that many in a map anyway

[crude zodiac]

mhm. Especially if you can't destroy them. Like right now I get hiding them all over the map so your map doesn't get stolen with one broken, but if they can't be broken, then it could be reduced.

[regal phoenix]

Yea

[compact mica]

#1: if there is more than one no copy sign then the people should be able to pick up the signs until there is only one left to prevent trap maps and such

[crude zodiac]

That's actually a great idea.

[compact mica]

yea
