[QUOTE=mac338;36346340]There seems to be a lack of consensus between moderators on what qualifies you for a warez ban. Before, just mentioning that you had downloaded something, or would meant a ban. But then Garry came and said "you can now say that you download stuff and what, as long as you don't provide links" if I recall correctly. And a lot of people proceded to do so without consequence. However lately, and every now and again in the timespan after Garry said this I've seen warez bans like [URL="http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1160357&p=36338729&viewfull=1#post36338729"]this.[/URL] Like they used to. So as I am uncertain now myself -- what is and what isn't allowed? Is it me or the moderators who has missed something regarding this?[/QUOTE] Varies a lot, I got a week ban for a screenshot showing a rar file downloading at insanly slow speel (that was the focus) while i'v seen others talk openly about pirating games Golden rule seems to be "If it might be considered, Don't do it". The rule is too flexible to be sure

[QUOTE]Piracy And Leaks You won't banned for warez/leaks unless: • You provide links • You ask for links • You hint at where to download • You openly declare or brag about it Posting screenshots/videos of pirated/leaked content is fine.[/QUOTE] Seems pretty straightforward to me. Don't link to stuff, don't ask for stuff. Don't tell you're downloading this or that (that's openly declaring), don't show a picture of you downloading something. What you can do is talk about piracy, and post screenshots of the game itself, where the focus wouldn't be that you pirated it, but rather the game itself.

[QUOTE=Onyx3173;36347065]the rest goes entirely towards Faceopunch's server costs[/QUOTE] That's not really true. I think it was like 33 % of it goes to tax. So that leaves 17 % of the price that goes to paying for the forum and it doesn't even cover the whole bill.

Why is Boostar not covering all of the server costs even relevant? And yeah, some goes to taxes. But what Garry actually does get from his 50% of the Boostar proceeds goes to help with server costs. I kinda thought that'd be obvious though...

[QUOTE=ECrownofFire;36351402]What would an article on Facepunch even say? There's really not much that FP has actually DONE.[/QUOTE] Actually Facepunch had a hand in some of gaming history's biggest turns, not exactly life changing things, but certainly something that could be mentioned

Sorry if this has already been answered by why was the "Chat Threads" section removed? I mean, having "catgirl megathread", "gay chat", "crossdressing megathread" and "masturbation thread" in GD kinda gives us a bad first impression to visitors :v:

I don't see your point.

[QUOTE=Inufin;36355177]Bad impression? I don't see your point.[/QUOTE] some people don't like the idea of browsing a forum where some of the most popular threads involve masturbation and catgirls

[QUOTE=Sanius;36355514]some people don't like the idea of browsing a forum where some of the most popular threads involve masturbation and catgirls[/QUOTE] Isn't it a good way to get rid of simple minded bigots, who care so much about the content and community of the forum on a few threads. Honestly I do think it would be a good thing to have chat threads back.

Sorry, I used a wrong word. I changed it already.

[QUOTE=Sanius;36355514]some people don't like the idea of browsing a forum where some of the most popular threads involve masturbation and catgirls[/QUOTE] If you don't like it... then don't go into it? I don't really see the problem here. [editline]hi[/editline] And they all used to be hidden in the chat threads section[I] anyway[/I]. If you feel it gives a bad impression and its that hard for you to see a few threads you don't even have to go into then I'd suggest asking Garry to add the Chat Threads section back.

[QUOTE=Skelmech;36355858]If you don't like it... then don't go into it? I don't really see the problem here.[/QUOTE] See how that worked for mlp, the fapping-to-soul-chicken thread, etc?

well I'm mainly talking about the catgirl and fapping thread. I don't know about you guys but a whole thread (popular ones too) dedicated to jerking the stick and another dedicated to posting anime cat girls just screams "horny teenagers post here"

[QUOTE=Greenen72;36355893]See how that worked for mlp, the fapping-to-soul-chicken thread, etc?[/QUOTE] fapping to soul chicken thread what

[QUOTE=Greenen72;36355893]See how that worked for mlp, the fapping-to-soul-chicken thread, etc?[/QUOTE] That's only because people like to sperg over hating MLP as much as bronies like to sperg over liking it. also [QUOTE=xxncxx;36355907]fapping to soul chicken thread what[/QUOTE]

iirc soul chicken posted his dingaling in the "weirdest boner" thread or something.

How are some Pagestrech titles getting resized? I understand it, but not if only the ones I paid for are getting resized.

[QUOTE=Inufin;36355177]Bad impression? I don't see your point.[/QUOTE] he's trying to say that with all the megachat non-topical threads, people who do want to have discussions will feel it's the wrong place.

Forgive me If I'm late or just plain wrong, but is anyone else having a problem with posts? It looked like mine went down, or is it just me?

trying to rate a post redirects me to the home page, same for trying to look at the ratings list. already ctrl+F5'd and such

[QUOTE=Cone;36358565]trying to rate a post redirects me to the home page, same for trying to look at the ratings list. already ctrl+F5'd and such[/QUOTE] this has happened to me before too

Cone when I rated you it worked just fine. Have you changed anything recently, browser for example?
