Mario Making Mods

I come in peace, however, I do have a problem with something that has occurred on this forum.

User MasterVermilli0n submitted commit 3f3a38ae5750e4d5ae9db7e05a478431cb8b7d26 about 10 days ago from writing this post, which adds in images that were used exactly from the project, with no given permission to use them. This has been confirmed because the user who made these images gave no solid permission to use these assets. It has been confirmed that these are the exact files from MD5 hash relation, as well as each PNG that is copied differs depending on the circumstances. However, since the MD5 hashes are the exact same, this is firm grounds for stealing.

Now I must request that the images be removed from the repo immediately, as they are a part of ProjectRed property and the github repo will be reported for theft if no action is taken.

Thank you.

1. I had no way to contact the maker of the images you are talking about, and you do know this very well.
2. Read 1 again and think about it carefully.
3. Will take them down when as soon as I'm able to use my laptop.
4. You do know that you could have taken this to DMs.

That is no reason to simply use the images without permission, however.

And thank you. Time to not use this account for another 100 years.

That wasn't a wise way to report this.
You could have taken it to DMs to prevent drama from leeching out here, especially when the owner is gone.

You didn't even have to get hashes, I wouldn't have claimed the sprite images as mine if you told me to take them down beforehand in a DM or something.

Anyway, thanks for reporting and I'll be more careful in the future.

It was a wise way, DMs wouldn't help at all because man, you stole assets publicly, I think you should be publicly reported. Plus, you literally have issues on the Github disabled. So, no, this was the wisest way. This was not an attempt at drama at all, I legitimately and politely pointed out an issue, that's all.

Nonetheless, thanks for reporting, I will be more careful and more respectful in the future. (I was going to give credits in the README, but I forgot, and I'm terribly sorry for that)

With the problem now resolved, this thread can finally rest in peace.

I should probably state that I closed this for a simple reason. PMs do exist. Announce it publicly elsewhere but this isn't a drama board.
