[QUOTE=Hezzy;51853253]Hello all, Welcome to the revived TV and Movies section. If you want any old threads moving over then post here with links. Feel free to spread out - for example there's no need to bunch all the "Marvel" TV shows into one thread. Create a new thread for each series! As always, use spoiler tags where appropriate. You will be banned for significant amounts of time if you spoil things for others. Have fun! UPDATE: This section is now also for music. Feel free to make threads for all your favorite shitty bands! UPDATE: Just a reminder, we do enforce a "No Warez" rule on this forum, if anyone is found posting links to downloads or streams of [I]full episodes of shows[/I] you will be banned. Use a bit of common sense here, think if we could get sued over it, if the answer is yes then don't post it.[/QUOTE] [url=https://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1553551]The Film, Television and Music sticky has been updated to clarify upon the warez rule.[/url] [editline]20th August 2017[/editline] This also means, if you see anyone asking for a place stream full episodes or someone posts a link to them that isn't the official site or a licensed distributor. Report it.

Why wasn't linking to streaming sites considered warez before? I'm pretty sure a lot of mods were patrolling the Samurai Jack thread like hawks and that was covered with links to streaming sites. People were quickly banned for linking something like torrents to games, but it seemed like streaming sites were just largely ignored.
The Walking Dead and Rick and Morty have been known to do legal streams. Then you get into discussion of which countries can watch witch link. Do you need a cable sub? Do people in the US log in differently than overseas? It's a discussion nearly every week with shows like this. It's hard not to just tune out every post with a link in it if you watch the show elsewhere. Not to mention anybody that needed it isn't gunna report it after they use it, so the people paying attention to links are the ones likely to 'not snitch' on their source. I'll try and make an effort to pay attention going forward, but you could probably just ask around and find a mod that likes the show enough to come hang out on Sundays.
Just do what all the cool kids do and set up an intricate PM system that sends everyone a PM in *x* thread a link to the episode that deletes its self after 30 seconds.

Let's just split every frame of the episode into a new screenshot, upload it to google docs, and then publish a link to that! Fair game? All you need then is audio. Just get someone to dub over it.
You can put my number in the doc and people can call me to hear my best mouth-sounds version of the audio.

[QUOTE=Kiwi;52594252]It always has been. We can't be everywhere. Report it.[/QUOTE] Yeah, I understand that, but until now mods were quick to remove other forms of warez but not streaming sites, even in threads were they themselves frequent. Seems the rule for streaming sites was so rarely enforced for years, its no surprise people didn't realize it was warez. While on the topic of warez does linking to sites were you can read books and comics for free also count as warez? What about music?

Music is a case where if only when its royalty free or released free of charge, would you be allowed to link downloads, stuff like YT videos is fine but no direct downloads basically, common sense really applies here, would the content open us to legal issues, if so, don't post.

I noticed a lot of people posting links to full translated mangas in the Anime threads, even in the thread OP. Seems a few of the links got taken down due to DMCAs though.
[QUOTE=Reagy;52593532]The basic rule is don't post full episodes.[/QUOTE] What about full episodes uploaded by the company who owns the rights? That wouldn't really be considered warez because the copyright holder uploaded it

Would be pretty bullshit if they were banned
[QUOTE=TheJoker;52594593]What about full episodes uploaded by the company who owns the rights? That wouldn't really be considered warez because the copyright holder uploaded it[/QUOTE] In that case it'd be fine, but when its some 3rd party. Like said previously, then no.
[QUOTE=Kiwi;52594538]Again. We can't be everywhere and we can't figure everything out. Report it. Discuss it with us if we agree we'll remove the content and ban for Warez. I don't think translated Mangas would be Warez. We're more focused on illegal sites and video content. Feel free to talk to us about it though.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=aussiedropbear;52594614]I imagine scan/translations would be fine for the most part since it can take years for some to get a official translation for English, assuming they get one at all. Would be pretty bullshit if they were banned[/QUOTE] I was curious on the legality of it, so I did a quick search and found a [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanlation#Legal_action"]Wikipedia article[/URL] on the matter. [QUOTE]According to international copyright law, such as the Berne Convention, scanlations are illegal. […] Since the 1990s, publishers have sent cease and desist letters to various scanlation groups and websites. […] Due to manga's popularity steadily increasing in the overseas market, copyright holders felt that scanlators were intruding on their sales and in 2010, a group of 36 Japanese publishers and a number of US publishers banded together to form the Manga Multi-national Anti-Piracy Coalition to "combat" illegal scanlations, especially mentioning scanlation aggregator websites. They have threatened to take legal action against at least thirty, unnamed websites. The coalition has achieved some degree of success. The scanlation aggregator site OneManga, ranked 935 in the entire internet in May 2010 according to a Google listing and top 300 in the United States, announced its closure in July 2010 due to their respect towards the displeasure expressed by the publishers, while OneManga officially shut down its online reader in August, 2010. [/QUOTE] There are plenty of websites that hosts several translated manga which get posted often in various threads. Popular websites that hosts illegal copies of manga should probably be given the same treatment as the streaming sites got.
hey guys where can i read boku no hero academia for free just kidding that's NOT ALLOWED
[QUOTE=Pascall;52594661]hey guys where can i read boku no hero academia for free just kidding that's NOT ALLOWED[/QUOTE] hey kids, wanna buy some anime *opens jacket*
Everyone just call me and I will describe to you everything going on in the episode on the phone.
that's what happens when someone gets banned that had a title that was too long. there's no limits for what admins can set a title as but the small default forum limit kicks in when they get their usergroups switched back and forth from a ban and will cut if off.
What does it take to seduce a moderator to fuck with my title? Do I have to stroke someone gently?

[QUOTE=Clovis;52595510]I've read/heard through the grapevine plenty of times that people are unhappy with the new moderators for a few reasons, and I dunno if this is a consistent thing and it has happened with every wave of moderators, but really it feels like no secret that a number of people don't like it. I feel like a lot of recent bans like the ones samiam mentioned are almost to meet some sort of theoretical mod quota so that moderators can say they're doing something. I've seen plenty of reasonable and unreasonable bans and I don't even really know if its ever a good idea to discuss it on the forums because guess what - you get banned for 'backseat moderating' or whatever. Here's one - [url=https://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1570487&p=52591938&viewfull=1#post52591938]memes are bannable right[/url] but should someone really be banned a day for posting 'ree'? Like what is the actual point? Meme bans are only enforced when people see fit to do so. Was this post banned because there was nothing else to ban at the time? Did anyone even care that 'ree' was part of the post? I don't even know if Kiwi themselves did to be honest - I feel like the whole ~banning to meet a theoretical quota~ thing is quite real when you have things like this getting banned[/QUOTE] [url=https://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1575386&p=52582413&viewfull=1#post52582413]Not just new mods[/url]
No piss was taken, my birthday was soon and I had a trip to take so didn't want to deal with anything in RC. Mod Prerogative [editline]21st August 2017[/editline] Ban was legit though, good luck arguing that
I feel like every post of Clovis' I've seen has been complaining about the moderators and trying to convince everyone rumor has it everyone hates the new mods weren't you doing this in this thread a few weeks ago
I've personally felt weird about the new mods because of the change-in-behavior. I know that's sort-of mandatory when getting promoted to that position, but it was very off-putting to see someone like Kiwi or Reagy defending things that they (probably?) criticized in the past. The case that I can think of right now would be the migration to Facepunch 2.0 but since I don't have any posts to back me up and have to rely on my memory, I might be mistaken. The attitude change just felt off because to me it feels like they're [i]forcing[/i] themselves to act serious and not being who they would normally be. Once again it's still unavoidable for a moderator position like this (you can still see their personalities, except usually with a bit more "untouchable attitude" sprinkled in there on some posts).

ban the noob mods
