use wickedplayers post
[QUOTE=Jelman;52088821]use wickedplayers post[/QUOTE] I dunno. It's lethal levels of stupid remember. Just uttering it might shut the game off and break the entire computer.
You gotta get permission from everyone whose post you plan to use. If it's for profit this is even more important.
[QUOTE=SEKCobra;52088924]You gotta get permission from everyone whose post you plan to use. If it's for profit this is even more important.[/QUOTE] I don't know if that's really worth caring about. Especially considering that this is FP, where copyright and such isn't exactly respected. [sp]Gmod modelling subforum lol[/sp] Making an issue out of something like this is really pointless in my opinion. From my understanding he's not using actual usernames either, just snippets of text from a free & public forum. As a comparison, imagine the uncountable amounts of monetized YouTube videos that feature screenshots of comments, forum posts, tweets and whatever else. Do they get sued for using those snippets of text? I don't really hear about that happening. This might just fall under fair use, even. (but I may be wrong on that)
[QUOTE=SEKCobra;52088924]You gotta get permission from everyone whose post you plan to use.

I love your attitude so much, hope the game does well!

In terms of selling to Germany for example, fair use just plain doesn't exist and the DMCA's protections don't either, so anyone whose creative work is used without permission would most likely be able to send cam64DD a pretty costly cease-and-desist (or failing that kill the game country-wide). [editline]11th April 2017[/editline] I'd give you permission but I don't think I have anything usable on here :v: On the off-chance that you find anything in my post history, run it by me (ideally with intended usage) and I'll probably approve it.
I'm going to sue you
[QUOTE=thejjokerr;52089204]makes terrible posts all the time.[/QUOTE] So you want them to copy every post.
You can use all my shitposts
[QUOTE=Jelman;52088821]use wickedplayers post[/QUOTE] Make it this huge event, like suddenly a nuke goes off in the distance, one of the characters remarks he senses a disturbance in the force, there's a noise effect on the screen for a while If you go there to investigate you have to go through inhuman levels of dumbness radiation, you need a high level character and use a rad suit and radiation pills and shit, kinda like The Glow in Fallout when you reach ground zero you only find the post there, in the middle of a desolate plain and instantly die regardless of your gear
Isn't this sort of thing why some sites have started putting copyright transferral clauses in their ToS? (I hereby give OP permission to use and abuse any and all of my posts on this forum in whatever way he sees fit.)
Make sure to put lot of "goddamn" words in your goddamn game
[QUOTE=cam64DD;52088785]i want [I]all[/I] of your sand. also, i based one of my characters on you and the mod elections![/QUOTE] You don't happen to need Sgt Doom's official [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvDejT-vA9A"]voice actor[/URL] by any chance do you? :v:
[QUOTE=Scratch.;52088388]Your posts aren't your property, After April fools, Tudd sold them all to the trump administration[/QUOTE] We are currently unable to reveal this documentation, but can assure you that such documentation does exist.
[I]my [/I]shitposts????? lol just look at my post history like 90% of them is just shitposts
well well well familiar aint it [t]http://i.imgur.com/1SfphHr.png[/t] now i'll add ratings. basically, this is how things are going to work: the player will be able to rate posts and exploit the bandwagon effect; if you arrive at a post early enough and be one of the first users to rate it, chances are that post is going to receive lots of similar ratings. This is how the players will be able to interact with most users. Now, I'm not promising a gigantic system that reacts intelligently to your ratings because that would take way too much time and is beyond my current skills. I'm working on something far simpler: By rating specific posts, certain events may occur. The player will also take on the role of a Substitute Moderator, so they'll also have to track down reported posts and punish the offending poster. I'm working on a Peggle-like banning mechanic as we speak. Could work, could suck, we'll see. [B]EDIT[/B]: Ratings are in! [t]http://i.imgur.com/oMuepwd.png[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/zERFG6S.png[/t]
