We all see this. But is it clear enough?

Stolen skins. What comes to mind? Honeydew, Notch, that white creeper hoodie. But most people don't notice that Steve, zombie, creeper, herobrine - they're all considered stolen skins, property of Mojang. Most users of PMC don't realize that. Go through the list. Look at all of the steve skins, or mob skins! They're overwhelming!

My rant has been on the popular reel for a while now. A lot of people have read it, most agree. Now here's a way to put a lot of the bad skins to and end! Sure, the "teen" skins and other 'bad' (imo) skins will still be there, but we could abolish the steve skins.


Notice that the full rules say this:

"Skins from the minecraft.jar file which are in the mob folder , They belong to Mojang and shall not be uploaded."

But most people don't even read those rules. It also has rules against some of the bad skins, but I'm worrying about steve and mob skins. I'll admit, even I haven't read the rules in a long time and have forgotten a lot.


Now finally, to my proposal. Change the "original content" warning from this:

To this (Or something to this extent):

Thanks again for reading this. Hopefully it will get noticed by Cyprezz and changed!

This one's not as much of a rant, more of a suggestion.
