Lately, I have noticed that Planet Minecraft has been taking a downfall. Here are a few reasons why I, repeated, I, think PMC isn't as good any more.

1. Stealing
I notice a lot of it. Skins, projects, even mods, getting stolen. I don't think people really care what they steal, as long as it has lots of views and they think they can get away with uploading it.

2. Website Downs
Not a huge problem, but I find the site goes down way to much. I don't know why, but there always seems to be a site down when I really want to go on. (My problem) Maybe someone could tell me why it goes down so much?

3.Pointless projects
I see quite a few of pointless projects. We all want to see something cool, like a big ship, a building, a city or a good survival map. Flatland survival? Certainly not what I would call a good project. Starting houses for survival, programmed pixel art and small, pointless survival islands and maps. Not my kinda party.

4. Skin detail
Now, I am not the greatest skinner, but I do try. I try to put some effort and details into it. Try to make it original. Before I make a skin, I always search it up on PMC before I start, to make sure there aren't to many of that skin. But I constantly see the same skin over and over. Or a skin with no shading at all. I hate to see skins that were made in five minutes. If you can't put effort into your skins, then don't do skins at all.

5. Hunger Games Servers
It seems that every top server is a Hunger Games server. Just stop with the hunger games already. We get the point. It's just so annoying, because when you look, all the servers are "Hunger Games Server-Join Now!" No, I will not join. People have taken it to far. The Hunger Games was good, but a million hunger games servers, come on.

I hope this changes your look on the way PMC is going, and maybe we can help to change that. For more details on rules, you can go to upload something, and the click on Read Detailed Submission Rules-Opens in new window. Post a comment if and what you have seen that would go under these categories. This will bring you to a forum posted by SoulStealer, a site Moderator. Thank you for reading this, and remember, let's try to change the way PMC is going.

But the thing is some of the "Pointless projects" are starting points for people who in the future might create big castles and and massive cities. Also some people like playing survival maps and some noobs do need starter houses. Now you're probably gonna say "Well that's my opinion on them." Well it is. But I'm just saying my opinion. But yeah the site does go down occasionally but that's only so Cyprezz can fix things.

Oh, I completely agree. But, when you think about it, how many people are going to create amazing projects? If they aren't spending time on the projects, how can they improve?

Thanks for your input, though!

Most of these aren't a problem with the website. It's the users. Unless you want to police thousands of submitions every day there is no way it's going to improve, moderators have lives and they can't run quality control all the freaking time. It's a matter of your opinion and your taste and you can't change what people decide to upload, I can't either! If you want quality works hat's what the 'hot' section is about, checking in on awesome builds/skins/whatever.

I know, but I just wanted people to realise that there are things on the website that could be changed. I do understand that everyone has something to do, but if you do see a stolen skin or project (or anything stolen) report it, because that is all you can really do. When you report something, it does get reviewed.
