Appropriate punishment for "warez"

Postby [gt]neiT. » Feb 8th, '10, 2:51 pm

Hello,

yesterday friend asked me if i have link with instaled quake, cause win 7 dont let him to instal quake III arena - fastest solution was to dl instaled quake.

So i asked on Pinboard, irc, msn and icq if someone from my friends have such a thing noone had only some torrents or something and that i dont even know how works.

So i asked my good friend "hbo" and he told me vO (Virtual Owners) czech TDM clan they have it on their own website... so i was happy that i helped my friend and i remembered that i posted question here into Pinboard so i decided if someone will have same problem i can help them and i posted it here into Pinboard.

I DIDNT KNOW its illegal i know that sources from quake are free to dl... so i thought that even whole Quake is fee and legal.

I know i did wrong thing now, but i dont think lifetime Suspending acc is right way to punish people in this case.
I cant make new acc, because i will break rule "Account Pollicy: "It is not allowed to have more than one account per person.""
To be very truly i didnt even tried to make another acc.

I think it should be Warning with 1 week suspending acc or something like that if u have done something seriously BAD, although when this person will do same serious misconduct he will be punished by lifetime suspending acc.

I never wanted do any harm to this website i just wanted help friend nothing else.

please have mercy with me :(...

To be honest I think it's a little harsh aswell. A one-week ban should do.

At first I didn't even know what happened, than when I looked back at your previous post, I lold a bit :p
Ok, by taking a look in the rules, I've encountered this rule:

"If something is not forbidden do not think it is allowed. You shouldn't tinker anyway."

This rule is a bit vague, but still you could enlist posting warez-links as a rulebreaker here. Therefor I suggest you ppl(people) come up with some Guidelines so this rule becomes less abstract.

So maybe:
Guideline nr.3:
    No links containing illegal content such as "warez", "any kind of virus",etc...

You get the point and you can add even more stuff :p

Still think I'm trolling Count? :p

There rules apply to the game servers. We don't have to make rules about porn or warez because it's obvious it illegal. Everybody who uses the internet knows that. I am also not intending to write every small detail into a rulebook. Use common sense, guys. :angry-cussing:

I have no idea what Neit is trying to achieve by creating this thread.
"Susbended" doesn't mean "banned". I don't know about you guys but i was intending to restore Neit's account when i get to it in the near future.

Yes, hk of course we know suspended doesn't equal BANHAMMER and yes the rule I stated can be avoided by common sense... and still neit kinda missed the point :p

Btw, neit, come on, how can you not know that q3 isn't a free downloadable game? :p Time you learn some of it's history! :p But yeah 3/4 of the ppl(people) play with a cracked version xD :p
