true, it does not look like MATHIS is aware of any kind of credit theft
not all the races have the same author name
example rapscallion is in there twice
one says Mathias and the other says HOLLIDAY

neither are the originals
maybe <true author>/Mathias  would be ok?

i think every name that exist in a WCS race author field is guilty of credit theft, to a point
 (except for stinkyfax, he never wanted a skill that was already coded. )

i would be more upset if the races name were changed




 

agrees on what you say..

usually when i do "edit" quite abit on a normal race. i would change author to this : author = "OriginalMaker Modded by MyName"

since removing the author, pretty much requires a full remake and more on...

If further proof needed.. please pm (must be either mod or staff on this mod

There are very few people who know core well, to reduce race theft by around 95% it is enough to have some logic inside of WCS core to do the check with database. Of course this can be disabled, but why be arsed spending hours finding how to disable it when you can just leave the author alone?

well. some people dont care about having to look for hours.. just to get credits.. to feel like they actually can do "something"..

i've seen a few who actually tryed to take a few existing mods, change author and a few settings change. just to upload and get full credit lol..

most do get captured at this point.. but then again..

a place on the forum, where there would be a "hall of shame" thingie, would be place to start atleast..
