Normally that sort of thing would make sense. But when it's clear that the cops are crooked, and just want to keep the drug dealer in bussiness, we have a problem. 

The problem I have is that the mods are going out of their way to protect pirates to such an extent that it's clear they are crooked. I should be able to protest post in any threads concerning the emulation of BotW, or Persona 5 on PC. What the mods are doing right now is akin to telling abortion critics that they can't protest in front of or near an abortion clinic. Making a rule that you can't talk about either of those games in emulation threads does step on the toes of free speech. But making rules that you can't talk about piracy in emulation threads steps on the toes of free speech just as much. 

The hands off approach they took before was fine. Now that Miguel has gone ahead and made rules that people can't say specific things in emulation threads, he's favoring pirates. 

Its just that one emulation mega thread has a set of rules to keep it clean from users like you who would derail it with your bullshit.

In other emu related threads such as this one i made http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=232102&page=1# showing Persona 5 running in 4K using the new upscaling feature of RPCS3 you can talk about the ethics of it all you want, go ahead that thread is based on one of the games your protesting. I didnt even post that video in my emulation megathread to keep it clean from stuff like this. So knock yourself out.

I didn't even see that thread by sheer luck. But yeah I'll happily post in it.
