You should present some of that evidence instead of constantly sounding
like a bitter jackass who was rightfully banned for being a dickhead.

Looks and sounds to me like they need to push the envelope a little
more - too timid imo. I mean, who would really give a stuff about someone
linking to that fairly poor quality mpg?

That link is far from an example of piracy! Especially software piracy.

Surprisingly eloquent considering you probably just finished your
soggy-biscuit.

In 2001, a legends central subsite owner posted some illegal content of
some sort on his portion of the site. i'm sorry I don't remember
exactly what it was but I remember it wasn't a grey-area and violated
the webhost company's terms of service pretty blatantly. The site was
shut down (and yes, 'deleted' by them). It was down for a period and
rebuilt on another webhost. So... there ya go

So this is a far cry from a member posting a link to a video.

I don't know, but you guys feel free (as usual) to construe/add/replace
facts in order to support whatever assinine point you're all trying to
make against each other, I just mentioned it for those who honestly
were curious. Back to lurking. - Carl

I was curious. No matter what, though I'll never consider RSC's public
warning system as justified. As stated before, it's not needed, as
no other forum does this.

Very few of the hits on this site include forums that attach
public warnings. Most of the sites that had warning systems
mention that moderators send emails or private mails to the
accused person. Of the few forums that appear to optionally
apply public warning tags, all of those include this fact in
their new member agreements.

RSC does not include anything regarding their public warning
system.

Under general rules and not attached to any specific rule: "If you refuse to
comply with our requests on this matter, we reserve the right to warn/ban a
member in the normal process." It just so happens that the normal process
includes a public warning. If someone such as yourself is so concerened
about the system, you should've inquired as to what the normal process is.
Instead, you prefer to whine about some system that you've known exists for
quite some time. It's not like you hadn't been warned with a public warning
before....
