My Workshop Submissions are being banned?
Okay so today at about 10:30 pm, my phone was going off something fierce to realize that Steam is banning my submissions because it violates the terms of use??? What the ♥♥♥♥ did I do wrong? All of the submissions have been up for so long when it started with my Miata and ended with that russian V8 i made not too long ago, maybe like a month ago, but thats the thing, why is all my stuff being banned now? When it should have been banned shortly after I submitted it? Can anyone help me on this? The only thing left out to ban was my S2000, which seems kinda suspicious, to get all but one thing...

Guess what? All of my engines in the Workshop were banned from the exact same reason. Better hope the "Copyright Mafia" isn't behind this, or else.......

@speedwarriorhemi Damn I just hope this doesn't continue to happen, not to mention that I am unable to post stuff to the workshop for the 10 days, unless it stacks from each email that I got which would make it over a month :(

Edit: Okay so I just went to Automation's workshop and noticed that everyones cars and engines (not bodies) were removed (besides my S2K heheh).

Yes, just posted a note about that :) have a look at the news.
Edit: so if you have any submissions still up which are replicas or plain cars/engines, please remove them. Have a look at our forum's sharing subforum instead, that is the place to post your stuff! http://discourse.automationgame.com/c/sharing

@Killrob Okay thank you for the news but in the future can you guys just give me a heads up to remove the mods rather than banning them and getting me the consequence of not being able to post to the workshop for 10 days? (or a whole month im not sure if it stacks)

Ohh, didn't know that. Does this affect the Workshop as a whole or just the Automation Workshop? Considering it were only ~5-10 different people having this stuff up I hope that won't be too much of an issue.

@Killrob I'm not entirely sure but it might be the entire workshop, hopefully not, I'll go and try posting something on another workshop to see if its affecting everything, I'll update as soon as I can.
Sandman 11 8 May, 2016 @ 9:12pm 
@Killrob Alright here's the update, I ran GMod and posted a prop to their workshop and it seems like it didn't get there sucessfully so reading by my latest email where you got my S2k, looks like I'm banned just for 11 days which honestly isn't a big deal since I'm probably not gonna upload anything important in the future. Oh well lol I'll probably get around to making more replicas and getting pictures through the community page rather than the workshop and have a download like provided in the description so installing the cars/engines wouldn't be as easy but at least that theres a 99% chance that it will work. Keep up the good work with the game guy's and keep the workshop nice and clean! :D

Just checked my User Profile and my submissions are still there, so i'll be moving those over to the new forums ASAP
BTW thanks for the tip, brother
Killrob  [developer] 8 May, 2016 @ 9:34pm 
Thanks for the info! :) Glad it didn't just add ban time linearly, that might have caused more severe issues. I wonder why I can only ban and not actively remove content from the workshop, that would have been more appropriate.

Yeah, our forums are pretty good for sharing and people know how to deal with the downloads and where to put them too.

Cheers!

Hey,

I've unbanned your items and marked them incompatible instead; this prevents them from showing up in the regular workshop (as intended by the developer), but doesn't result in a workshop cooldown. The items are still accessible through your profile and direct links.

Thanks for you help, Max! Glad you could correct that mistake. The "flag as incompatible" didn't sound like it would remove the items from searches but merely put a disclaimer on them. I should have read up on that before. Cheers!
