Is it allowed for someone else to copy your forum idea? This has happened to me, by 3 people, and one of them said it was their original idea. If you are one of the people that copied me, DO NOT respond.
Edit: My idea(Forum Challenges 1-6) has been copied with Forum chalenge 7, Forum game, Forum game *Reverse words* , and another Forum game. Is this even allowed?
Kinda, if you are replying, but In that case NO.
You can report the copiers.
@Yalturkmani Make sure to check you wrote all rights reserved, not all rights reversed.
copyright them and then strike them
@Yalturkmani If you are so eager on protecting your ideas against being used, then IMHO Lichess is not the right place for you.
@Xtronplayer1234 is the only one who gave a useful answer.
#1 they might be jealous of you.. actually, I was also thinking like, there should not be 2 forums with the same names, like when you create "what is your fav sport" then after a few days or hours somebody else will create the same forum, they do it for "popularity" to get people attention so that people likes his ideas and follow him. or if a popular forumer creates a forum then after a few hours later, somebody else will create the same because that forum got many replies and hence he will also get those many replies.
And if lichess keeps an option like: "This topic is already created, pls write another topic" then it will be hard to find, there are 1 lakh people+ people in lichess and most of them will create forums, hence it will be hard to find good topic's.
Therefore, it is very difficult to decide what to keep!. I hope this helps :)
