How long is a ban for warez?

7 days

All the ones I've seen have been 7 days. ninja

Can someone please explain to me why the search function is still disabled without being an elitist dickbag who's just going to give me boxes? I thought it was originally because of the DDOS attacks, but afaik they stopped ages ago [editline]15th July 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Autumn;36781434]7 days[/QUOTE] Why is mentioning anything about torrents a bannable offense yet there's a whole subforum dedicated to (mostly) illegal drugs?

Don't know if it's permanent, if you can't wait then buy yourself gold membership. Now stop asking us about this."

[QUOTE=RobbL;36781693]Why is mentioning anything about torrents a bannable offense yet there's a whole subforum dedicated to (mostly) illegal drugs?[/QUOTE] A website can't be held responsible for people using drugs. Now if people are posting links to illegal downloads, that's a different story. And if you ban people for talking about it, they won't be too keen on posting links for the stuff. There may be some other reasons, but that one works for me.

[QUOTE=RobbL;36781693]Why is mentioning anything about torrents a bannable offense yet there's a whole subforum dedicated to (mostly) illegal drugs?[/QUOTE] I think Garry's view (based off the warez bit of [url=http://facepunch.com/fp_rules.php]rules[/url]) is that, its fine to have it, just don't tell people where to get it. Also DD is hidden when your not logged in

[QUOTE=D3N1ZFTW;36780271]Sorry if late, but Glod Menbers? [sp]The gold member forum's title looks like that[/sp][/QUOTE] It's like some people think Facepunch is an exhibition and all the information must be interpreted exactly and is completely true.

[QUOTE=nmagain;36781926]So, can I say, for example: "This is a screenshot/video I took from the leaked copy of X" ?[/QUOTE] Might be ban worthy under [I] • You openly declare or brag about it[/I]

I've been having to CTRL+F5 all day because of various DNS errors. Is this a FP problem or can I fix this on my end?

[QUOTE=Raijin;36782122]I've been having to CTRL+F5 all day because of various DNS errors. Is this a FP problem or can I fix this on my end?[/QUOTE] Must be something on your end. Has been working fine for me.

[QUOTE=nmagain;36781926]So, can I say, for example: "This is a screenshot/video I took from the leaked copy of X" ?[/QUOTE] Leaked as in DX:HR/Crysis2? IIRC, the way leaks work is you can't say where to find it, but you can post media from the leaked version and you are fine. basically if its a game for sale, you can't say "hey i pirated it".

Why are ratings disabled in Mass Debate? To prevent bandwagoning?

[QUOTE=Qubik;36783957]Why are ratings disabled in Mass Debate? To prevent bandwagoning?[/QUOTE] To prevent getting dumbs for your opinion

[QUOTE=overpain;36783971]To prevent getting dumbs for your opinion[/QUOTE] If garry wanted to prevent that, we wouldn't have ratings in the first place.

The reason ratings exist to begin with are to prevent posts quoting others saying 'this' or 'I agree' In Mass Debate, if you agree/disagree, you should post saying WHY you think w/e

[QUOTE=RobbL;36781693] Why is mentioning anything about torrents a bannable offense yet there's a whole subforum dedicated to (mostly) illegal drugs?[/QUOTE] the rules aren't based on the law why would we have rules about image macros and flaming and stuff if it was just based on whats illegal or not??

I wish searching was enabled again, I would like to be able to view my posts.

[QUOTE=l l;36786283]when is this page king shit gonna be bannable[/QUOTE] I thought it was bannable. The only times I didn't see anybody banned for it is either they didn't provide content for being pageking, and the times people acted like page king's but didn't actually say anything about it.

[QUOTE=l l;36786283]when is this page king shit gonna be bannable[/QUOTE] as soon as posts like "MAI AUTOMURGE BROKE :(" posts are ban-able too.

How about a "Mark Read" in the "Read" page? Which will ignore the current new posts and when there's a newer post posted, the "Read" page will notify us again.

[QUOTE=DarkMonkey;36785549]I view many more threads than I post in, and that only goes back a week[/QUOTE] That was true up until a few months ago or so, to my understanding.
