Normal
Wow it looks like i come too late to the party.Some thoughts:Real SFF is a niche in a niche. Even all community projects together are nothing against the big case manufacturers. The most community project was done next to the normal daily job of the creators in every free minute they have. Every successful big project stand for itself and was a gain for the community. This only worked in the past because we respect each other and tried to be different. If we now allow competition in form of cloneing each other in this niche - it will be even harder.I think a clone reporting button would be great. Every thread that got more than 50 cloning votes will be reviewed by the community over the next 3 weeks. All active votings can be shown in the user profile or a higlighted box. Every voting needs a minimum of 200 participant to be valid. If the majority say clone = true the thread will be deleted and the user be banned for min. 1 month.Alternative: Every project thread has a clone true and false button. If more than 200 members hit the clone true button - the thread will get the tag Product-Clone in the title. If the creator now decides to change the design forum members can hit the clone false button to let the tag disappear.
