We have decided not to allow Map Unprotecting, both in the StarCraft and the WarCraft sections of BattleForums.com. The one reason to do so is to prevent stealing of the author's credit for the map. If the map is unprotected, his work may be stolen. But we believe that if the author of the map decides to protect the map by using any sort of protection program, it is his wish to keep his rights on that map, and it is his full right that we respect that, thus not breaking such desire.
Just imagine: You have made this great map, one that has stolen you endless hours of work. You protect it because you do not want anyone tampering with your map, which took you a while.
Now, if you came here to BF and saw your map in a thread, at everyone's disposal, you would not be all too happy.
Map unprotecting can be compared to breaking a copyright law. If some one copyrights something, it is not meant to be 'un-copyrighted', changed, and 'put back on the shelf'. This is mainly the same thing as Unprotecting. Unprotect it, change it, 'put it back on shelf.'
However, if you have came across a map that has a cool trick in it and you want to know how to do it, relying on map unprotecting is not the way to go. This is a Starcraft UMS Forum. We have members that know a substantial amount of tricks and knowledge. If you need to know how to do a cool trick you saw in a protected map, ask in this forum, but don't unprotect it.
I hope you understand where we are coming from.
Thank you
