Forums - Website Topics - Can we ban confessed pirates and modders?

By the way, I don't see how you got to the conclusion that benefitting the games industry is "everything this site stands for" or something like that. I thought this website was for discussion of sales and trends in the gaming business, period.

If you think this site stands for the good of the gaming industry and against piracy, that's your own conclusion.

This site displays game adds, I don't think the companies paying for those adds are very keen on piracy...

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !

Are you saying a site inherits the agendas of all the companies advertising on it?

If they cared, they would have said it, don't ya think? The fact that the ads are still there and there's no such a rule to forbid the mention of piracy makes you think that they don't care at all

In a way it is really funny and really sad to reach this thread...

So many people pirating trying to take the moral high grounds....

Is it immoral to infringe copyright when most of the population does it in some form? Remember that morals are based on social norms.

I'm not going to comment on the piracy, but modders? What they are doing is neither illegal nor morally wrong. People should be allowed to use hardware they bought for any purpose within the law.


This stop worrying about pirating. if you disagree with it then dont do it. dont try and control others



Long Live SHIO!

Threatening to ban people who talk about doing naughty things doesn't mean they will stop doing naughty things.

It just means that they will stop talking about naughty things.

Who made starcraft a law maker on this site? Starcraft I do not believe people want you trying to tell the moderators/administrators on how to run the site. The majority of posters in this thread including quite a few moderators who have posted object to your suggestion.
By the way no evidence/proof = no conviction. It would be hard proving anyone who posts is truly a modder or pirate on this site, take their word for it. They could be just joking around.

Starcraft, everyone deserves a fair trial. We do not want this site run like an autocracy - there would be very few people left on the site and they would just not say anything in regards to piracy.
