I didn't read the terms since v2, but I don't like that. Well, I don't want you modifying my game, and publishing the modified version (not saying you did that, but I WON'T ALLOW IT). {DS} of the GMS posted about this, and the fact that you have those terms alarmed me. and btw, I posted my game when this site was v1, which didnt have those terms, so if you modify my game, and distribute it, I CAN STILL SUE!!!!!!

but it still isn't fair to those who submit editable games.

ludamad, WHY do you think I am a girl?

*sigh*

Okay. If you submit an editable <b>game</b> that's your problem, and not ours because you chose to make it so anyone can edit it.

No one is going to edit it. If someone does, I'll ban them from submitting games just to make you happy. *sigh*

Also, do not embed music into your comment. I deleted it.

but your tos shouldn't allow that. you know, most gms members don't like games that are modified tutorials, and those are meant to be modified. So editing someone else's game is worse.

Yeah, and examples are meant to be modified

basically, my point is, if the staff are not going to edit someone's game, then WHY does their tos allow them to?

Okay, editing the game would also include deleting it from the database. That's why. Ludamad also said another reason why in a previous comment.

So that they have full control over the content. Just drop it before I delete the blog.

For instance Pooka, let's says someone submits a game with hidden pornography in it, and someone reports it, and we verify it is there. Then you're saying we cannot remove it from the site? No, we can.
