i just reported alot of the reuploads and he/her probably did not get permission from the map maker to reupload it

yeah i see what you mean, they have done it multiple times

the while "X but nuked" maps are really on the edge of what's acceptable.
if they specifically said that it was based on another map in the description then they would probably be ok, but as-is they really aren't making any effort to show the original map.

I'll remove them.
make sure to use the workshop "report item" option, otherwise ive got no way of knowing. or post again in this thread

ok Franks will do

hey franks any ideas on ways to prevent people from reuploading layouts altogether

Maybe like some sort of system which only goes off if someone is uploading a layout from the workshop layouts section.

That is my suggestion

that could work

The layout could then be checked manually to see if it is a reupload or building off another map.

exactly

The problem with auto-detecting workshop maps is that in some cases (like making genuine expansions to maps) it is ok to use a workshop map as a base and build upon it.

For example, i made the "bog pit"
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2119545415&searchtext=bog+pit

and someone else made the "bog pit extended", and I'm glad they did, its an excellent extension and really ads a lot to the map.
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2124034426&searchtext=bog+pit

Also notice how the "extended" map actually has a URL link to the original in the description, thats how it should be done.

Just calling the map "X but with Y" or "X extended" is not enough, you need to actually direct people to the original workshop items page
