Okay, I'm gonna get right to the point in this article, and talk about content duplicate uploads. Shouldn't there be a way on the forum that disallows content to be duplicated and re-uploaded? I created a mod a few days ago, uploaded it to PMC, and now I go back to check it out, and a user has told me that someone by the name of 'alander760' has completely copied entirely, the same post. He used the same screenshot (on my map), and the same code. He just changed the download link to a direct download, and renamed the file. Links:

My original mod: www.planetminecraft.com/mod/kryps-old-watermark-mod/
His copied mod from me: www.planetminecraft.com/mod/watermark-mod/

Not to be rude to the forum's administration (which I think is a great administration), but shouldn't there be a way where the forum can stop duplicate uploads and content stealing from other users? It's our hard work put into our creations, and then stolen by someone else. To me, that kind of makes me upset, knowing they're getting credit for my work, even if this mod was a very basic mod, it's still the point that it is my content, not theirs. Thank you for reading. I hope to get this message out to the community and have this problem stopped.
