Hey guys, looking at every submission in the misc. department is just sad, theres 25 pages in there, and from about 14 on is where the shit hits the fan. Since the workshop has opened there has been:
1: Stealing of skilled people's work.
2: Spam everywhere.
3: Fake submissions of things that are photoshopped, some, concepts from the emporium.
If this is how bad the orignial contribute site was, I honestly feel sorry for valve, and all the shit they had to deal with, and determining who's stuff was actually their own must have been hel. (that is unless they have guys on the inside... valve spies are good :D) Either way, even though imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, plaigirisim is most certainly not.
I have a group set up here invite only, I want to make sure I only invite people that are actually going to properly justify the means for the submission being spam or stolen, especially stolen.

If you have had work stolen, that makes you immediately qualifiable for admin status. So long as you can provide proof.
I hope we can report and ban all these people submitting trash in the workshop, please help as much as you can.
Redo the entire thing, so many errors.
[B]Finding stolen stuff is Valve's work[/B], not yours.
However, complaining for not having a "report" option or something similar from them is your duty indeed.
I emailed Robin about it.
We need a report button.

aah, but reporting the person directly on steam is currently an option at the moment.
Its safe to assume that Valve will thoroughly research all the top entries if they ever decide to port it to the main game so what does it matter if all the downvoted crappy ones are stolen? If we downvote them ourselves, then Valve will never have to bother with those submissions...
why would it be hard for valve to tell who's stealing the work? I didn't bother looking much into the workshop area, so no idea what's really possible, but if you can't really download a submission to try it out yourself, then all they'd have to do is look for all the ridiculously low file sizes since the model files can't be re-uploaded by someone else and set up some sort of duplicate image checker or something that would notify them of possible plagiarism/spam
then again for those who upload to the emporium, this might be a bit of a problem
