Antares Manned Spacecraft idea stolen by external forum user!

[mojoey]

We already know who it is. :tiphat:

Who? I'm confused here...

Wow,

Just saw this, I must say I'm not happy to see such moron taking my name and acting like this. Izack if you have the occasion just say &%@%& for me to the idiot making such claim in this thread:

I would be really happy to know who it is. (in mp?)

It is pretty interesting that this idiot is pretty active stealing not just add-ons, but also forum threads from here and use the best ones for himself.

And the moderators at powdertoy are a pretty mess, I would say, since at least one does not know the rules himself.

 

[dansteph]

At least they contacted me quickly.

"Impersonnator shutdown"

I'll see what happen with the threads.

EDIT: I did sent a mail also showing where the false "dansteph" claim he's also "EqualsThree", so with any chance his account will be banned also.

Thanks for looking into this, Dan! We were somewhat lacking in authority until you came into it.

Actually wrong, the FOI had a lot of authority there, if they just played it right instead of getting dragged on their level. The add-on does not contain everything needed to reproduce it, a single screen shot of the meshes in the mesh design tool would have been pretty strong evidence.

The argumentation of the people there is for me a good reason to not join their forum. I like powdertoy. But not that much that I would be in the same category as people who can no longer appreciate hard work.

Thanks to Dansteph for his right actions!

I have to say now that a lot of posts and discussions confirm "EqualThree" to be just an idiot.. so our purpose is partly accomplished.. however, true justice would be the deletion of that post and EqualThree to be banned!

 

[Mantis]

I can't figure the logic of some of these morons who not only steal other people's work and claim it as their own but who actually go to such lengths to try to "prove" that it's theirs to begin with. This EqualThree person has some serious mental issues.

"Oh, you've done that, that's great work, thank you" - Searches acknowledgement
"What? XYZ stole the idea from you? What a bastard" - Tries to make XYZ look bad

Pick one of them

Well, it makes one glad to not be worth impersonating
