Protecting my map Without really "protecting" it

Protecting my map Without really "protecting" it

so yea,exatly wat i said above, how can i prevent my map from being stolen with out using a map protector, since i know protecting a map is frowned apon on this site

The mods or anybody else on this site dont care if you protect your map, everybody does it. If you are worried about the judgemental red text, well, 99% of the maps submitted here have it, so if you want to fit in, protect your map.
Maybe this is just me, but when i see an unprotected map submitted here, i tend to think that it is propably a bad map since the map creator didnt feel like it was worth protecting.

But if you want people to be able "learn" from your map but not be able to steal it, use the "open source" protection. Get vexorians optimizer to do that.

It also saves map space

Or, even funner, leave it unprotected, wait till someone copies it, and then laugh your a** off at them

i hears something about extract all your files in your map (open with mpq tool) then extract, and import them in your map via importer, i hears about that...but i hears it takes ALOT of space and would most like crash your map if your stupid and dont make a backup.

low-lifeserious motherfuсking buisness. i've seen your posts, don't worry, no one would ever want to steal your map

thats harsh ....just cause i need help on my maps doesnt mean theyre bad enough that theyre not worth protecting.... as for the rest of you guys, even tho im familiar with optimizer, thnkx for the help anyway, just wanted to clear up about the specific rules of protecting.
