Ron, only reason I brought up discord is becuse of it's live chat features. Also because GC4 already has a presence there. If you rather do this another way,  like using Skype or Zoom, I myself have no problem with it. Let us know what way is best for you.

Rand.

Please keep us posted. As I mentioned I am available any time between 10 am and 10 pm to attend the meeting.

Luke,

I tried to reach out to you before I removed the mod and gave you a three day ban. I gave you two prior removal warnings plus sent you a message explaining the rules to which you replied to only after I gave you a three day ban. Reason you were banned is because you kept re-uploading the mod with the copy violations still intact regarding not just my player made content but still had Starmac's own player made content. The rule regarding asking for the original creators permission first to use their player made content has been posted here on the forum for almost a year. I also allowed you three days to comply before I gave you a 3 day ban.

I was only doing my job and doing what I am expected to do as a moderator as per guidelines. Please understand that the workshop guidelines here in the GC4 workshop are quite similar to same rules as Steam Workshop. You must contact and seek consent of the contents original creator an ask for their permission first. Its highly frowned upon to use others player made content without permission.

I apologize if this upset you but I did try to contact you and warn you, I did not threaten you. I only asked you to please not put me in the position where I would be forced to give you a ban for violation of GC4 Workshop terms of service only after I had issued the two prior warnings because I wasn't seeing any compliance from you before I issued the ban. Original player made ships and Civs uploaded to the GC4 Workshop are only for your personal use only and not be redistributed or copied and uploaded to the workshop under another players name without asking for consent and due credit given to the original creator, none of which you did.

I don't know if you are aware of this but many people who created player made content for GC4 are also some of the very same people who made original player made content for GC3. For 7 long years many creators had to deal with users using their work without their consent on Steam which is a violation of terms as stated in the Steam Subscriber Agreement. It was the consensus among those players who made content for GC4 to have similar rules to protect their work here for the GC4 Workshop. Its not very humorous to see someone else's name on something you created and got no credit for. Please again understand that what I did was not out of malice or anger but it is what I am supposed to do as a moderator. I hope you understand.    

Thanks

I'm sorry you feel that way but again the rules have up for nearly a year. I saw your Discord conversation and Discord was not the place to have this discussion. I am sorry you feel the situation wasn't handled the way you expected. 

Once again no one accused you of doing anything malicious. I only mentioned it so you're aware of why its a a part our GC4 workshop guidelines here as well. No one said you stole anything. You had three days to message me back prior to my having to issue a ban we could have discussed this here and resolved it. When I did not hear back and saw the violations still intact I did what I am supposed to do.

I just need to add...

Keeping communications of misunderstandings such as this restricted to private avenues of discussion is imperative as public perception is always going to be wrong.  It's a fact of life.

I have recorded and removed subsequent comments simply because they reference private communications which by definition no longer means they are private.

Edit...

I cannot stress enough.

Anyone posting the contents of private communications in public can face permanent censure.

Hey everyone, I have contacted both parties involved and hope we can move on from here. If there are any further problems, please reach out to me individually instead of posting here in this thread. 

Happy Monday!
