I see what you mean but y would you post in public??? Like I'm not saying poeple should copy but it's going to happen anyways(and because new designs are posted like every few minutes, it's really hard to keep track of everything). Like if you post something in public there really is no benefit so I don't understand why people do it.

This is kind of why I suggested site mods because then it'd be easier to punish people for copying.

Edit:

Nevermind that crap I said earlier. I kind of thought what if someone took my art and claimed it just because I put it into the public. Sorry for misunderstanding your point bc I don't post in generator much. Anyways I think a simple solution should just be u get to put your ID number or Username as a watermark on your generated thing so that if someone does try to copy it'll show your name/ID.

i saved one design public, my project design. ig its too see what ppl think about it.. since it only stays on the first viewing page for a short time its cool to see how many likes you get. i havent seen it stolen yet but if it ever happens ill take it down and never do a public save.

I made an edit to my post above ^ Sorry, I changed my viewpoint after thinking about it a bit

its ok xD i think ppl who steal dont realize designing is a form of art. ive joined a design contest.. and wow is it hard. i dont do art much since im not very good, but designing does take alot of creativity and skill.

That's true, I joined the beach sticker contest(cause I was curious) and it was a "fairground" for non-artists but tbh artists still had an advantage(like me) because I understood how to use photoshop and change layers and stuff so my entry was very creative and complicated compared to the other who just moved the objects around. This contest had no need for "artistic talent" but since creativity is a big part of being an artist it definitely gave me a huge advantage and that's probably why I got 2nd.

So now taking in creativity, I do think that you're right. I use public designs for ideas(especially for regenning pets) but personally, I never save in public bc of the fear that someone may steal a design.

Also for the watermark idea, I think that it should be a choice just in case people get upset about it. And just wondering, what do you think about it?

im not sure what a water mark is?

Basically a semi-transparent logo or word, a lot of artists use this on their art.

ohh ok. thats a good idea, it could help w/ design theft maybe but im not sure how that work. ( i dont code tho, maybe krin would know how )

i think it won't be too hard to code though like you, I dont code.

I code. And...

Well, here's an example of a simple circuit for something totally different but istill coding:

(This was an excerpt form an online coding course and this thing makes a small tuner play notes. The tune is the "shave and a haircut" thingymajiggy-C, G G A G, B C)

I can't find the old file of a doorbell thingy I did but I remember it was over 200 lines...and it wasn't like a website or anything, just a buzzer player notes when you rang a doorbell.


I dunno if that's accurate but when I click on the "inspect element" thingy in my Microsoft edge browser, it shows a very scary looking list of coding.
