Sent my first report of a model that was posted and I had made a while back myself (Not my design by the way) and got a message today saying the clone had been taken down and thanks for helping the community. That’s fine I don’t mind helping out as I would hate it if my work shows up under someone e…

People would figure a way to point farm this. You report for the good of the community and for cleanliness of your own repository, not for internet points.

Please explain how people would point farm this ?? Reporting people that rip other people off should be rewarded if not in points in other ways ?

[image] R3d-Five: eh, maybe. How about you and i get in on it. I’ll create a burner account and post your models. You let it go until some points come in then I let you get it taken down so you get the points. The we reverse it… I’m just brainstorming here man. I think they need to just fina…

Reporting Cloners should be rewarded?
