[PSA] False flaggers on the Garry's Mod Workshop. There is someone, or a group of trolls going around the Gmod workshop filing false DMCA claims and shutting down addons, over 10 Gmod addon makers, myself included have been attacked, with over a dozen of our addons gone.

Yeah I'm not going to say it's Aaron Peters from last year, but this proves to the people who think that people don't send false dmcas to random content, that it does happen. And it happens when you back down instantly.

It's almost as if *gasp* people are impersonating companies to copyright strike random addon s! Who would have thunk?

Gonna correct myself here, but by 11th, I mean February 11th, two of my friends, who got their addons struck before me got their strikes late January, but nobody got any emails until the 21st, nobody "rushed to conclusions" as people claim.

Case in point, just respect your fellow modders who fight for what they believe in, letting alone the WORKSHOP drama, otherwise, your projects might end up like Kaze's.

Sure, Garry has been 'assured', but given he'll provide proof of the Skibidi claims(which I know are real, but are still bullshit for him, and I hate Skibidi), but not Nintendo, kinda hard to trust him given too he'll troll anyone such as his questions for the "it's fake guys".

but it doesn't mean you won't get pro or anti company fans attacking projects, which, even if Nintendo is a scumbag company, doesn't justify people going out and slandering their name over petty things such as art.

Our fight was not just for our addons, but also for communities such as Kaze's. If you let these abusers walk all over you, this is what the consequences are. Nintendo has never been a saint and you'd be foolish to think they're an innocent company.

it doesn't take a genius to figure out that DMCA/copyright claims, have been abused in the past, let alone on the workshop. Doesn't help people had put off some evidence we had that proven that some of it was bullshit(Hell Inspector's claim being the biggest red flag)

Everyone can clown on us for "not being lawyers", but you know what we are? Modders, when all this stuff went down, me the other victims didn't kniw what was going on until a week or so due to not getting emails until the 11th, but the claims and takedowns were there prior.

And it's stuff like this why I fought the workshop, not just Garry's Mod, because if it can take down a community as vast as Gmod, you get stuff like this.

With what Kaze pointed out with the DMCA system on Youtube, this is making me think back to that Garry's Mod situation that happened earlier this year. I went to check to see if it was similarly handled, and what do you know: it is. This is insanely easy to abuse and lie about.

reposted because I missed a screenshot, my bad

5. This was abandoned because I cut ties with him, he uploaded literally the same model(Which is still up while mine got struck down btw), the FDL, it came up JUST as I updated said model pack years I removed credit because NOBODY wanted to associate with him. not a coincidence.

@NyaLillyTempest https://t.co/BRqs1cHSMu This is a bunch of bullshit, the other model porters weren't perfect, me included, but this is a flat out lie, if anything, him not porting stuff could've saved the model porting scene.

Forgot to add it by accident, but this was the description.
