    A petition to UBISOFT regarding a choice to block maps from being republished

    Have not seen anyone else doing this but I thought since community managers seem to visit this forum I though i start a petition regarding the problem with other players reuploading and putting themselves as orignal creator on other players maps . I do not expect UBIsoft to fix this but we can try . why not write your gamertag in the reply field or give it a thumbs up so Maybe the community managers may see this .

    UBISoft , please make it possible to prevent others from republishing / stealing our maps ,we the mapmaking community should have the possibility to block reuploads ,at least preventing others from putting their name as orignal creator on other mapmakers work .

    Its a real mistery to me why Ubisoft thought we wanted this in the first place?!

    It only makes that people will steal other peoples there work,
    So, i am fully suporting this thread!

    Don't even bother. You're wasting your breath. We've been begging for this for nearly a decade.

    I just don't understand the decision to even bother developing this feature (or rather, bringing it back for FC5). The potential for misuse, theft and complaints far outweighs the potential for good.

    Hmmz... If a map gets featured, Ubi will convert it to all platforms? If that's the case then people will always be able to edit them?

    As I understand it, they won't implement means to PREVENT it from happening, but it IS NOT ALLOWED to republish maps as per their official Far Cry 5 Code of Conduct:
    Ubisoft's Far Cry 5 Code of Conduct:
    Map Stealing: copying the map files of another User and republish them under his/her own Account.
    First offense: Warning & content reset
    Multiple offenses: Temporary suspension & content reset
    So, I think this means you should just report "stolen" maps, and the offending players will be penalized & the maps removed. But if you do NOT report those maps, they'll get away with it.

    If this train of thought is correct, I really wonder why Ubisoft doesn't choose to implement a republishment-blocker feature in favor of all the hours of support staff manual labor moderating stolen map reports...unless noone is reporting those stolen maps to begin with!

    So, you best go on a map reporting spree now?

    *edit*

    Reporting stolen maps by opening a support ticket indeed seems to be the way to go. Someone posted his experience on Facebook in the Far Cry 5 Multiplayer & Map Editor group. If you have access there it's here.
