Even with the choice readily available, I don’t think tons of people would go pulling their levels. More likely, people would take down their “first levels” sometime after they have improved. The only prolific removed level I can think of is Horus’ Neon God. I had the opportunity to play it and it’s awesome, but I support her decision to take it down. I never owned the game. It wasn’t a product I paid for. It was a creation by an artist that I downloaded for free. Just my two cents, but I’m curious to hear what other people think of this! |

I'm all for the ability to delete custom levels.
Heck, I don't know if this is a possibility but I would probably take down my 2 TRA2 demos, as they are honestly just trash to play. Same applies for TRsearch objects, I would totally get rid of one of my animations lol |

I m not totally against the idea of being able to remove your work from the sites, but I don't feel it is completely necessary. Also, there is the posibility that someone really enjoys a specific TRLE that in the builder's perspective it is bad and wants it taken down. Then everyone in this situation doesn t have acces to their favourite level.
For example, I would feel heartbroken if the first TRLE I have ever played is not available on trle.net anymore simply because it not being one if the finest levels of that builder. I feel the same about removing objects, I mean sure it s not the best object out there, but it can still provide a solid base for someone wanting to improve it, or develop it into something else. |

I've touched on this before and I know I probably sound a little preachy (), but in my opinion, the stuff we create with the LE (levels, objects, animations, etc) is art. Digital, yes, but art nonetheless. Most of us build with the intention of sharing those creations with the rest of the community, but the actual process of creating is something we do for ourselves, not out of obligation or necessity. When you release those creations online, you should not give up your ownership rights. Instead, you share them. And if at some point you decide you don't want to share those things anymore (which is ok!), you should be able to. When it comes to TRLE.net and such, I think it would be best to leave the page up for the level/item, but remove the download option. That way others can still see your work, and if the author wants, they could put a message up that says the work is available upon request only. Something like that. |

We make this for free, on our spare time, as a hobby. You have no right to decide what the authors can or cannot do with their own creations. I wouldn't delete my first level, but it has a good score, the story could be different if i got a trash rating. |

trle.net would save some storage space if people started removing their early, trashy levels

If the certain level is being removed then all the records about it should also be removed from the site I guess, even from HOF. That would be fair. What is a purpose to keep there the levels which cannot be downloaded because author's whim? Opinion of many people is more important than just a single one, isn't it? All the troubles start when someone becomes too selfish
