[solved] Which report option do I use?
Over the past months I have noticed an increased number of projects which are using mine without credit.
I have been reporting them but what has become an issue is what I am supposed to do in the report submission.
Which one am I supposed to choose?

The projects I am reporting are very similar (same scripting, assets, etc.) but not identical (probably as an attempt to hide the theft), so “Exact copy of project” doesn't sound right.
“Uses image/music without credit” also is relevant but the projects in question use my scripts as well.
There's also “Other”, which is potentially the right one.
I have no idea what report is preferred for my situation which is why I am asking here.

I think that “Uses image/music without credit” is the right one, since you can just explain in the textbox that no credit is given for your scripts as well.

You could use what fdreerf said or just go with “other”, you can explain it to the moderator through the text box.

You could use what fdreerf said or just go with “other”, you can explain it to the moderator through the text box.Reports with more specific categories are likely reviewed faster.

Not always. Also, other leads to other (ha ha) options as well as a slomething else box.You could use what fdreerf said or just go with “other”, you can explain it to the moderator through the text box.Reports with more specific categories are likely reviewed faster.

Are the projects using images/music without credit, in addition to scripts? If so, you could put “Uses Images/Music Without Credit” and explain that they are using images/music from you without credit, and also explain that scripts are being used without credit as well.

Thanks to everyone for your input.
I'll mark this as resolved as the replies are satisfactory.
