| It would only be allowed if ROBLOX secured that method like it didn't even existed which will probably render it pointless. |

Here's what Shedletsky had to say:
"HttpGet is currently a privileged function for two main reasons:
1. It would allow users to get dynamic content into levels, which would make moderation a more difficult task. 2. Poorly or maliciously written scripts could HttpGet roblox.com in an infinite loop, sapping our server resources. There was no obvious benefit, but some obvious downsides. We prefer to solve only the problems that need to be solved in order to ship features, so we err on the side of caution for things like this. If we later decide to open up new functionality, like making the ROBLOX social graph available through an API, we can do that with a dedicated interface that limits the number of requests you can make to the website in a given period, and only return the info that we are sure we want you to be able to get."
Additionally, if ROBLOX ever decides to allow HttpGet, they would be sure NOT to attach the user's cookie to make sure you can't do anything with the user's account.

"privileged function"
Wait, does that mean it's possible to have HttpGet unlocked on your places if you're on some secret whitelist? |

More than likely.
I'm really looking forward to this Roblox reputation system, unlocking stuff like this wouldn't be a big deal for reputable players who aren't looking to be malicious.

If the script has a high enough security context, then it can (ie CoreScripts) -----

That was a response to user feedback about allowing groups to sell models. They were saying that if they were to implement it, hypothetically, that they would need a way to prevent people from "stealing" the model and republishing it for free and how a system to prevent it doesn't exist. The only possible way would be with a rep system and if you have below a certain reputation, you can't publish models. |

How does that make sense?
All they have to do is search the xml file and see if a large percentage of it matches and then send a notification to the group with an option of deleting the copied model, or allowing it.

Reputation system has been mentioned a lot on the blog, not confirmed, but mentioned. A lot. Which means it's probably sitting on a TODO list somewhere.
As for the uploading models, anybody can upload and stuff, but if two models are similar, then one will get taken down. Users will be able to vote on which one is the copycat, and the stealer will receive a hit to their rep. After X reported steals, they will no longer be able to publish models.

*player steals model and gets really popular* *original creator reports the copy* *all the stealer's fans for for the stealer while the original creator gets but few votes* *original creator's model get deleted and he or she leaves roblox resulting in a lowered average IQ* |

| I'm not a big fan of the reputation system giving someone more privileges than others. It seems very elitist and it seems more like a beauty/popularity contest rather than the actual content you post. |

The reputation system should be designed not to feel elitisty, think of it as more of a level system, which I think is how the described it the first time it was mentioned on the blog.

I do wonder if the stealer gets more votes, then that means the actual creator was unjudgely punished.

That'd be just sad. If I can't upload models or think I'm a stealer.

| HttpGet/HttpPost can be used in RBXPri's command bar... Mind you, I don't think there is a download for it now, but I have it *Trollface*. |

Roblox fixed a exploit that you could use the asset service to do various things, like logging off or changing status.
it was something like
