There haven't been all that many offenders, really. I mean, more lately than ever, but that's mostly due to an uptick in site traffic, which is a good thing. Anyone with good art to share will stick around and they'll know better next time. :)
Not in the site's current form, no. However, any time someone submits about 5 or 6 submissions in a row, those submissions are removed from the front page for about 24 hours. Has that not been sufficient?
I think the underlying issue is that no one really reads the submission guidelines. This issue is only the flavor of the month. Next month it will be some other thing that is also already addressed in the guidelines. Unless the expectation is to eventually repost the entirety of the guidelines right below the upload-file box, the solution may be to make the guidelines more prominant.
I see. Well, just so you know, this post wouldn't help anyone resist a DMCA placed on your assets. This post doesn't counteract such a claim because it contains no provenance for any specific asset. However, simply having the assets on OGA does help people defend against incorrect DMCA's because the presence of your assets shows the open license and when they were available.
On the other hand, if you're planning on registering your assets with automated intellectual propery claiming services, such as YouTube's ContentID, then you need to make sure you do not register anything that is remarkably similar to the content you're sharing here on OGA. The automated systems can't tell the difference and don't care if the DMCA claim is false or not. In order to avoid getting user's falsly copyright-striken, and until such automated systems stop being pure trash, we do not allow content here on OGA that has been registered with such services.
I wasn't saying MIT is revokable. I was saying all the licenses you had already listed your assets under are irrevokable, so there is no need to create a 'proof of permission' post like this.
That is quite a fun puzzle game. Thanks for sharing it.

Fixed.

Let's start with an alteration to the submission guidelines. What would you propose?
I wasn't saying MIT is revokable. I was saying all the licenses you had already listed your assets under are irrevokable, so there is no need to create a 'proof of permission' post like this.
Still not sure what the purpose of this post is.
The licenses you shared your assets under are all irrevocable. What are you talking about?
