As an active member of the Day of Defeat Modeling community with several of my own models released on the DOD forums, its sickens me to see what these forums over here are up to. Over at the DOD forums, there is a mutual respect between the people doing the actual skinning and modeling and the community that downloads it. We also have Moderators who take the time to actually moderate the posts that go up. Any flamers of any kind are swiftly given the boot and order is restored. I seriously feel dumber after reading some posts here as there is absolutely NO sense of community or respect amongst people. Thank god our forums are not full of people like there are here. Personally, if I ever see any of my models being used on these forums there will be hell to pay unless that person first asks my permission to use my work and if I do give permission, there must be ABSOLUTLY NO DOUBT that the model is mine and that the person releasing it here just converted it or did a little tweaking to it. Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES should anything be released without prior consent by the creator of the model, skin, anything and claimed as ones own work. Ok thats my 2 cents.

PS- To Hobbes.....I have so far counted 3 models that I personally have downloaded from the DOD forums that have been released here on your forums with other people taking complete credit for DOD modelers hard work. No mention of the original creators is given in either the release or the readme of the models that were ripped to these forums...Hard to make your case when the evidence is SO not in your favor. Check the facts before you make statements.
