258191 2004-08-04 12:55:00 In the recently closed thread you stated that we had broken the rules,so you locked the thread.

now looking at the rules,i would presume that you refered to this one?

4) Subject Matter: Please refrain from or asking for, or giving advice on how to pirate software. This includes posting links to sites where Warez, no CD hacks, keygens etc etc can be found. And yes, this also covers advice on how to illegally gain access to a commercial service, such as Sky TV.




Now,im pretty sure,no im 100 percent positive that not a single one of us came anywhere close to giving advice on how to pirate software,nor did we post links to any such subject matter,we were however discussing the legalities as described under NZ law.

So please enlighten us,or me at least as to what part of the above rule was broken?...or is it an unwritten rule that all discussion on the topic of ilegal software is banned?

is backup a dirty word?

Does this mean that any article on the subject of warez is considered to be condoning it?

I for one are quite disapointed.

258194 2004-08-05 13:02:00 Ditto - I'm struggling to see the difference between this (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz) thread and this (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz) thread - both are advising what not to do which IMHO is displayng responsible behaviour on the part of the contributors andrew93 (249)
258195 2004-08-05 13:02:00 I think it had potential and was headed towards a flame war.

Hence it violated the "keep it friendly" rule.

Lo.

258196 2004-08-05 13:08:00 Moderation by sixth sense?

What evil magic is this?

Surely the flaw in that theory is evident, you can't police what hasn’t happened, Would one not be upset if they were issued a ticket because it looked like they may speed after taking the next 2 turns?

258197 2004-08-05 13:09:00 I'm not saying it's right, I'm just saying that's what I thought the reason was for locking the thread.

Lo.

258198 2004-08-05 13:42:00 Alrighty, I think the most important question to be asked here is,

Will Bruce be getting himself a new high-end video card to do the obligatory Doom 3 review?

258199 2004-08-05 13:55:00 Plus a new system to do the new card justice, naturally. R2x1 (4628)
