BYOND Certification System? You can get a certificate for your game and nobody else will be allowed to copy it without your direct permission.
If a game has been found that even closely (attempts to) resembles your game, then the moderators will be fully allowed to block the game.
Repeated behavior will be done by banning a person for a day, then two days, then five, then a week, then half a week, then another week, and eventually move it up to a month, a year, and eventually, if severe, a permanant ban.
I'm sick of these DBZ games on the HUB, and those Pokemon games, and all of those other fangames.
Why not just make one and then certify it?
A certification would run out, eventually, but before it does so the owner is warned and may re-apply to extend the certification.
More players will join certified games rather than non-certified ones, solely on the reason that they are special.
Maybe the certified games can charge for playing? Or something like that?

Players are free to use ideas they see elsewhere, that's how it works. If that were the case no games would exist today.

Not all fan games are bad dude. Bomber man is one and it got published at it is fun. There are plenty of cool fan games you shouldn't jump to that conclusion immeadiatly.

Thus every DBZ game on BYOND except for Raekwons is offically breaking the copyright of Raekwons DBZ.
Therefor, those games should be permanantly deleted. If any games continue to be made from the same key, the key should be banned? Am I correct, or should I sue you? | |

No, RaeKwon did not make DBZ. I highly doubt the creator of DBZ even uses Byond. Being the "original" fangame creator does not give you any copywrite to that game. The copywrite belongs to whoever created DBZ.

Raekwon and Dracon are breaking the law just as much as any other fangame creator. I know Loud created it, but doesn't that mean you're breaking the law with FF Legacy? | |
I ment BYOND-only guys. You can ask for a certificate on BYOND, and if the sourcecode of your game gets ripped/stolen/whatever nobody will be able to make a hub entry out of it.
Lets make it simple: I just want Raekwon to get and use the certificate! 99,9% of all games in Unpublished Games are all DBZ games or otherwise related to Pokemon! I want to view games that are starting out! Not those crummy DBZ games with those "1337 new attacks"! | |

Look, Phoenix, stolen source code is one thing, but when you start to delete games that "even (attempts to) resemble" other games, well, who judges that? The hub has rules though; in theory, people are deleting all of those DBZ rips right now. However, in practice, the people that have the power to do so are already very busy, and don't usually get the rips deleted. Of course, DBZ deleting hasn't been a complete failure; alot of them have been deleted from the hub. | |
