It's easy to say that, but can you "concretely" define plagiarism in this situation? Are only exact copies considered plagiarism? Or are minor edits included? If so, at what point is an edit no longer "minor"?
I'm of the belief that minor edits should be allowed. If we were to have a concrete definition, I'd say that plagiarism would be exact copies of existing hacks, like the thing I just deleted. Debating about edits being "not enough" would be a nightmare to deal with and everyone would have their own opinion on how much needs to be edited for it to not be plagiarism.
And it got deleted once again. I even downloaded it and compared it to the one on the Vault to see if he changed it at all. It was the EXACT SAME, except it came with an REL file for Shadow Moses.
I wanna see what Victory Badguy thinks about this. He's usually in favor of these removals.
As and ye shall receive.
Well, previous discussions here outlined how we shouldn't remove stuff if it's derivative of other works. Is this pack literally just full of unedited hacks of stuff already on the Vault? If that's the case I see no reason for it to be here. If people want the stuff in the pack they can already get it. This pack offers downloaders nothing new.
And it seems my thoughts weren't needed. Good decision though.
You know what we need? There needs to be a definite rule in the rule thread/section that specifically says "This is what you can/can't do in regards to hack packs on the Vault". It might help clear up some confusion that newer users have.
Right now I'm working on Ky kiske from Guilty gear.
If you can make a 3D model of Ky I'll be incredibly impressed. It's a shame there aren't any fan-made GG character models out there in the wilds of the internets. That'd make everything so much easier.
Also, I really hope someone makes a Robo-Ky texture if this ever gets made. It'd be a travesty if that never happens.
That Cerebella is looking better than ever. She might actually get me to start playing Donkey Kong (though I'm a tad concerned that she'll look all kinds of [censored]ed up when I see her with his animations and with his voice).
