When browsing the DLS, I came across a familiar looking route. A route I had downloaded way back in the TRS2004 days. This route is <kuid:282277:100518> ALL AMSTERDAM 3. Being a route I was familiar with, I searched the venerable white pages DLS and found the original author. jahgandree.
Unfortunately, the author is nowhere to be found other than his reference on the DLS. The last time this user was involved with Trainz was in 2008.
I know this is an old route and the author has moved on from Trainz. I also know that N3V's policy is not to do anything unless the original author puts in a complaint, but wouldn't an uncontactable author be the same as one who is deceased?
Now, this isn't the only time this user has done this with content and should be spoken to about it.
He also did it with a route from ethanl19 which I downloaded. Ethan's Lake Ebony Southern <kuid:777865:101236> 0Lake Ebony and Southern and I have messaged Ethan regarding this issue. Unless Ethan gave him permission to do so, which I doubt because there's no mention anywhere regarding this and the route description and everything, including the thumbnail is the same, then he needs to contact the helpdesk.
I have also seen other content by him including content by other authors as well when checking on this. Way too much to list here including <kuid2:242091:100108:2> 36ng Tall Timber RR by Col_Klink.
