[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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

If you see this, you probably should check it out as this is one of your moderators(Squiddy iirc), who's done all these vile acts.
I'd like to point out I knew @/Zeldaboy14 for a very long time, he was an ex-best friend I cut ties with because, because he was egotistical narcissistic creep who harassed friends of mine and slandered anyone who made him butthurt.
Hey everyone, I'm making this thread to warn people about a shithead whose actions have affected some people (some of which are minors/were minors at the time of the incidents) I know personally. @/Zeldaboy14
TW for things like Gr00mimg, manipulation and guilt tripping.
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.
@ChaoBubblegum I just noticed the date. 10/04/2023 literally a couple months after the drama, nobody even had contacted him after that incident. I knew he was holding a grudge but holy shit, this is next level pathetic

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.
