Car stealing on another site!!!

StoneBullet · Post by **StoneBullet** » 02 Mar 2005, 12:52

I have noticed that there are some people who are downloading images of our cars onto their computers and re-uploading them on another NFS-planet.de! I have seen my own caddy there, and enzo.ph has noticed some of his work there too. I dunno what can be done about it apart from contacting the admin there though.

I just wanted everyone to be aware of this. Probably best to make sure your name is on your cars at least. Not like mine........

jealous copy cats...

I suggest that individual car owners contact these sites directly if you find any instances of theft. They're your cars after all..

What you do:

put links to original cars and stolen ones here and I'll contact nfsplanet admin.

Thats why I add "nfsunlimited.net" in the good screenshots:

(Right bottom corner)

Anyway it is not THAT important... who cares?? They are only screenshots.....

ah yes, but someone might easily crop the picture or overwrite with black

a more secure system is a watermark-type of nfsunlimited.net banner, like the "specimen" thing they do on printed money...

but then again, the pic becomes crabby and details are lost

Or post the "copyright" text on top of backgrounds (or whatever) to make them harder to crop out. Usually the "thieves" are not skilled enough, or have enough patience to start messing about with images if even a little bit "work" is required.

Having a NFSUnlimited.net watermark put on every uploaded image is possible, but I doubt the majority would like that.

maybe a poll or something would do the trick?

attached is what i was referring to... its a watermark blend 33% opacity

PS: dont tell me its a crap car, cause i know,

its just a specimen right?

[edit]: i know it might look unpleasant, maybe better ideas could crop up...

@ 909: Aaaaaaargghhhh!!

Honestly, I prefer to get my cars stolen

vellu · Post by **vellu** » 02 Mar 2005, 17:57

Ugh....not THAT big watermark. I think this should be left for the users. If they wan't to tag their images as nfsunlimited.net, they can do it themselves. I don't think it should be automatically placed on every image.

I will contact the site owner! That's very bad!

kevinnos · Post by **kevinnos** » 02 Mar 2005, 19:10

Who stole the pictures? The owner or a user?

^Sparco^ · Post by **^Sparco^** » 02 Mar 2005, 19:32

Why have you posted that animated gif?

kevinnos · Post by **kevinnos** » 02 Mar 2005, 19:58

That's my signature...

Don't you know the rules for a signature (550x120 resolution and I think Gif's aren't allowed, but I could be wrong)

anyway, ontoppic:
I also don't want a NFSUnlimited.net watermark on every uploaded image.
I mostly put my name in my pics, but it's easy to remove it or typ something else over it

I've already found someone who stole 2 cars from this site
He stole a car from EclipsetheDK & =|Masu|=
These user-names are even IN the screenshot

This is his garage

Ok, thanks I will prevent the site owner.

Is that right? Is my signature allowed?

kevinnos · Post by **kevinnos** » 02 Mar 2005, 21:18

oh yes. I don't have read the rules. Sorry!

kevinnos · Post by **kevinnos** » 02 Mar 2005, 21:28

Where can I find the rules?

kevinnos · Post by **kevinnos** » 02 Mar 2005, 22:47

is this signature okay?

READ and find out!
Anyway, back on topic. To anyone who steals my cars:
YOU DON"T HAVE A LIFE AND GET YOUR OWN CAR YOU SAD-SACK.
I don't need to worry though. My garage doesn't have the best looking cars, anyway.

Stolen cars in this garage: http://www.nfs-planet.de/nfs8_scc.php?d ... 3&lang=eng

enzo.ph's Supra, Lancer, Eclipse
Tanguay's Celica
FriGG3's Skyline
AngelSiN's 3000GT
INFRA's RX-8

That are all I saw, but this guy has 4 pages of cars, so he probably stole more cars that I didn't recognise
