Hello! Yesterday i uploaded a radio of my community, and got banned for it.
I want to know why. There is other radios like bbc, and there is no rules, saying that this is restricted.
Why uploading shitty copy-pasted weapons into toybox in not restricted, but a small radio is restricted?
So explain please?

It's pretty obvious that advising him to not upload radio ents anymore is reasonable here, no ned of flaming people like that.
Back on topic, it was probably some angry moderator.

I want to know why, i don't ask to unban me, i know that its only 2 days -_-
Because they're shit. Any that are on there now were uploaded a long time ago. We won't need any more entities that just play sounds.
It was quite popular. If people "don't need any more entities that just play sounds", they would say, wouldn't they? Or their choice doesn't matter?
This radio is not "just play sounds". Look at entities before deleting them.
there all the same they play sounds and kills npcs
...just because Garry deleted the only radio that played actual (internet radio, eh?) music and did not kill npcs unless thrown at them with gravigun.

Just play sounds? Huh? That is radio, just radio garry -_-
User can request music and more etc, that is no "just play sounds" entity.
If I want to listen to a song I'll pull up the steam overlay browser and goto YouTube, thanks.
this is just pointless
You wouldn't find Internet radio on youtube. Show examples, JVS?

lolwut? Very elegant decision. Cool story, bro.
For whoever who did not try this radio: it is in-game client for our community's internet radio, which is a 24/7 live stream of electro house music, with users able to request tracks and real DJs playing live sets sometimes. It is NOT mp3 player. It is NOT <insert your favourite video/audio/file storage> player. It does NOT do anything except playing music.

If your banning one person then ban them all. It's stupid to ban one person just because his is newest.

I'm guessing a Perma Ban is coming.

It's stupid to ban someone for breaking a rule that didn't exist when they did it.
Well, if the shit is annoying, you need to start from somewhere.
Let this be warning to those who think they can litter toybox with THEY'r crappy music only THEY like
There was like 300 favorites and 5000+ downloads on ban moment, means that entity wasn't so crappy, huh?
And i am very interested to know, why nobody cares about crappy 1-minute copypasted SWEPs and about tons of other stupid crap in entities? Why banning for unique entity? Because it's not supposed to kill zombies?
what is dark herald smoking i want some of that
i'm not smoking lol
[QUOTE=Dark Herald;26898668]i'm not smoking lol[/QUOTE]
He says that because you don't really seem to be thinking when you post here. Don't take expressions so literally.
Um lol where can I get the radio or get a connection to the online songs and stuff, cause that radio was one of the best I've ever seen and I kinda want it, if any one can be so kind as to point me in the right direction to find it.

Stop
I can think of many reasons you got banned for the radio entity:
1: they are unoriginal as hell, off the top of my head I have seen atleast 8
2: you probably took the basecode off of some other radio Swep (which that creator probably stole) and changed one string to play your stupid music
3: when you were uploading the music file I'm sure you read this
[quote=Toybox]Here you can upload a Zip file full of files.
[b]No not upload files you did not create, or do not have permission to upload. This includes content created by Valve or other companies.[/b]
These files should all be of allowed types. If they're not then the whole upload will fail.
The zip should be layed out properly. On opening it should have folders such as maps/ materials/ models/ etc - not mymod/maps mymod/maps etc. The upload will fail if the folders are layed out wrong.[/quote]
(yes it says "No not upload files", that typo is Garry's fault)
4: Not only do the files you did not create include the actual Lua file, but it also includes the sound file
To anyone who think I'm making up those upload rules, here's the link [url=http://toybox.garrysmod.com/content/?uploadzip=1]you really should read them, to prevent this from happening again[/url]
I'm sure those 4 reasons are more than enough to get you banned.
