As a method to annoy so called “rippers” and to give credit to the creators of the code/graphics. There should be a advertisement of the game where the code/graphics originated from on every single tab on the rip hub.

Something that look like this:

how it could look like


Edit:
The image I made doesn't have to be the way to show up the message. I have already have a few mixed reactions from people I linked the idea to.

Some like the idea as a whole.

Others like the idea but think that the message should be less in your face or have the information displayed in its own tab/related tab or as a footnote at the bottom of the hub.

Others hate the idea and think it would create more problems or see it as a form of vandalism.

Almost everyone that I have got messages from want a differnt message that I have on the screen shot.

How would you prove a game was ripped?

There is a report a rip function on most hubs now. If there a majority of the reports says for one game then that should be the one to display.

The only time BYOND administration would need to get involved if the game has been miss reported on purpose.

This would probably be better than the nothing that seems to happen now.
Though I think grouping all the games into a single area would still be better.
And I think your suggestion would be better without the "we recommend you play the other game" part.
