Debatable, since the steps were/are really just common sense. The step by step instructions were mostly about the emulator though, there are ROMs that are not "pirated" so if the instructions hadn't mentioned that link I don't see what is bannable about that. |
That's true. I honestly probably wouldn't have banned him if he didn't leave that link.

I'm not 100% sure about it but I've heard conflicting things on the internet about whether they are legal or not if you rip them from your own cartridge, but I still think that it is considered illegal to make yourself a "backup copy".

If you want my feedback, 3 days for spurge is too long.
I don't remember him posting links to ROMs before, so there is no prior infraction. I'm not sure he got a warning for this. And lastly this has nothing to do with the ban 2 days ago.
My 2 cents.
Edit: Just wanted you guys to know that the team considered the feedback and adjusted Spurge's ban. Good for you team.

spurgeonryan: Post in the kantor thread and say that I most assuradly did not want to get banned. If I wanted that I would have come back from my last ban and acted like a deuche bag. He tells me he didn't even read the news he was posting >_>. So indeed 3 days was way too harsh imo. Especially since this offense was not related to the other recent one, and according to the rules that's how the progressive banning works.

If anything, his ban should be lengthened then. Posting news that he hadn't even read (or even known what the article was about, lol) is complete and utter spamming.

Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)
PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)
Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right

Spam is judged on content and frequency, not on intent. That's how I understand it.
Geez why do you want the guy banned so much.
Some of the new mods are a wee bit trigger happy. But that may be the power trip syndrome that many get when they first acquire a position of power...
Besides, amp already reduced it to a 1 day ban.
