NK has been silently and consistently refusing to credit challenge authors for quite some time, and this needs to change

So one of the weird things I've noticed when playing this game is how they almost always credit DC/coop DC/fanart authors when they get featured, but only very rarely do so for AC authors. I've been noticing this trend for quite a few months now, and I'm surprised how there's very little attention to this issue.

In fact, here is the only post I could find regarding ACs being uncredited, posted by u/Nicotine669 back in September. Contrary to the top comment on that post, it seems like the challenge was randomly chosen, and given how they've been leaving ACs uncredited for months, in this case, they made their challenge an AC but not credit them.

Basically, you might notice that for every AC they publish, the challenge name is suspiciously devoid of the author nickname. Turns out if you search for the challenge name, in most cases you can actually find the original one, which means that NK was using challenges made by the community but decided not to credit them for some reason!

So why this is not okay? Well, I think it's just extremely unfair to not credit AC authors for no obvious reason. Do keep in mind that they have never announced this change anywhere, so suddenly ACs are no longer credited without much people noticing, as evidenced by the near absence of people pointing this out on this subreddit. Couple this with the fact that DCs and coop DCs are still credited, and same goes to fanarts that are featured on their blog, or even community avatars and banners that make it to the game, makes it even more baffling as to why AC authors are getting left out. This is just a really shady practice and they really shouldn't have done this in the first place.

I first brought this to light back in this automod DC post back on 5 November, where I pointed out that NK appears to have used a challenge made for an older version of the game, which caused problems as the intended solution uses a strategy that has since been nerfed (unstable concoction). It seems like u/Albert3105 might have noticed this post, so he's been trying to put the credits the authors deserve on each DC post (which is great, we need to do this to remind people that these are NOT NK's own challenges)

It seems like the only time they DO credit AC authors is if they left the default challenge name untouched, presumably because having an AC titled "challenge" would be kinda awkward. For example, on 15 November, they released an AC titled "Panda DK's challenge", and on 29 September 2021, there's an AC titled "Player's Challenge". So yes, the only way for you to get credited for having your challenge picked for AC is to leave it with the default name, which can be quite inconvenient as people might want to rename these to something more easily searchable.

Also, I highly suspect that this is being deliberately done. The evidence to support this is when they featured an AC on 14 September 2021 that's simply named "Day 35". However, if you search for this challenge in the content browser, you can find that there's the exact same challenge, but with the author nickname on it (Riptide2139's Day 35)! It's extremely unlikely that they would just accidentally delete an entire word out of that given how the challenges are just directly copied from the original one anyway. This does not happen with daily/coop challenges; if they left their nickname on the challenge title, they would just keep it.

On some cases, a DC can be uncredited or have the author username truncated if the challenge name exceeds the character limit. An example of this is a DC from 20 November titled "circles circles random btd 5 mission pt2" originally made by Matei (code ZMXMBEE), which uses up all the character length. This is a technical limitation, which is understandable, but that doesn't mean they don't have to fix it either; more on that later.

In other case, a DC can be uncredited if the author uses a mildly explicit nickname. This happened with a DC named "Lulusete" that was made by a user named Poopcake (code ZMTVVOW). Seems like NK still wants to try to be family-friendly, so I guess the only thing you can do with this one is to avoid using anything that's deemed explicit.

However, the problem with ACs is that (1) They don't even exceed the character limit, and (2) Most of the time the author name isn't even explicit. Which leaves us to the question: why are they constantly anonymizing AC authors? This really needs an explanation because they have NEVER announced this anywhere, which means that this was a stealth change.

Just to prove that I'm not baselessly accusing them of doing this, here's some proof (I forgot to take a screenshot on some days so those are substituted by videos where the AC title and/or info can be seen). Notice the striking similarities between the chosen difficulty, game mode, and tower choices. Some challenges are difficult to find due to NK's broken search system that makes generic titles such as "expert challenge" impossible to find as it won't return the results verbatim in many cases, not to mention that the min/max level filter also doesn't function properly and there's no option to filter by map.

I could go further than this but I guess you get the idea.

The thing is, they DID use to credit AC authors, and after reviewing some AC walkthroughs on YouTube they did this up until 31 May 2021 (Engs Inventions by Intervoid). It was only at 1 June when they stopped doing this (Quonc). Interestingly enough, the original author of the challenge actually posted a comment on the automod DC post, which is really a hint that these are actually community-made challenges.

So how do you solve this? Well simple. Start crediting AC authors again. There's absolutely no reason as to why they should be left uncredited in the first place anyway, and people might be upset when their challenges get stolen like this, like the OP of the above post. And as for those who have had their ACs previously featured? There's a solution to this even if it's too late to credit the original authors in the ACs themselves. An approach to compensate those who have been uncredited is to make a blog post that lists the names of all the original authors of the challenges along with the respective challenge codes and a letter of apology, in a similar way that fanart artists are credited on their blog when their artwork is featured there. Hopefully NK may still have a list of past challenges they've done, considering how some people have speculated that ACs are often put on a backlog before it's released months later.

As for the problem of the author credits exceeding the title character limit? well just make it so that the author username and version (and these are enough) is displayed alongside the "bonus rewards" section akin to how regular challenges have a challenge info that contains the author information, version and code. When clicked, it will take you to the profile page of the original author. Here's a rough mockup just to give you an idea.

I doubt they're ever gonna respond but u/rohan_spibo , could you elaborate as to why AC authors are not being credited for quite some time now? Though even if they don't respond, at the very least I'm hoping to see that they'll reverse this decision and start crediting AC creators again. The community is what makes this game alive after all, so they deserve some appreciation if their content makes it to their official publication.
