RA and Alfa tau - A case for freespeach

Raptor_341 · 11-19-08, 04:15 PM

>> This thread is not to talk about the mods per say, but more to discuss why our old thread about these "less than EULA legal" mods have been banned. After checking on the forum rules, i could see nothing wrong about discussing mods, and seeing that this makes up 90% of what we do here, i hope not. Its not about SCS, its about letting us at subsim have the right disguss and talk about the things that we please reguarding our simulations without having it closed off.

First, you may want to spell "speech" correctly.

Be patient, let's see what we can do. Free speech is welcome but we do have responsibilities.

thanks
Neal

Let me say that closing threads only for talking about mods, albeit mods of dubious legal status should not happen.
We are not giving links, subsim is not hosting those incriminating files so honestly there shouldn't be censorship going on here.

Thanks Neal for contacting SCS about that. Meanwhile I think we should respect his wish and wait with further discussions.

It is his forum after all. Free speech does not exist in a private forum by default, it is Neals right to decide what to allow and what not.

Fair enough. Even if I think the decision to close the thread was quite drastic.

It was a gesture to show that subsim is serious.

Seems Neal is fair enough. I'll trust he will advocate for us, DW fans in this matter
