Hi!

The next one who posts a link to a warez site or admits that he or she has downloaded a warez version of SH4 wins a free fourteen-day trip to the Subsim brig.

I'd say it's harsh but fair!

CCIP · 03-18-07, 08:22 AM

That little?

I think that's a light penalty for what's basically the biggest violation of forum rules that you can get. Plus very bad taste before the official release date!

After reading it I have to say that a 14 day visit to the brig is actually a quite mild punishment.

Here´s what I wrote in another thread last year:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...39&postcount=5

It´s none of our business what you do with your copy of SH3 at home. But this is a private forum and there are forum rules. And they make perfect sense!

Over the years Neal has built up very good relationships to numerous developers and publishers. They know that Subsim is a reputable forum, they know that there is a zero-tolerance policy regarding cracks, they trust Neal and the forum. This has advantages for the whole community. They listen to our feedback, and Neal gets feedback from them.

It would seriously harm those relationships if Neal would allow people to posts links to cracks. He will never allow that, not without a written permission of the publishers.

If you now say "Hey, I didn´t even say that it should be allowed to post links to cracks" please don´t forget that basically every time someone even mentions a crack there´s the question "Where can I get it?", or this person will contact the poster via PM. Do we know what he will do with the crack? No. Perhaps he´ll then makes copies of SH3 for his friends after he got the crack. Perhaps not. That alone is reason enough not to allow this.

So in conclusion: Don´t discuss cracks here. Please.
