Was I banned? and if so why?

Personally, if I wanted to use a heap of images in a thread I would just attach them. I know that attaching them means one picture per post, but a +1 per picture is the price we have to pay.

It saves you the trouble of uploading and then linking to them, and it also saves you any risk of "upload abuse" that many posters seem to have been struck with.

Yeah I know, this is a copy-n-paste job. But I agree with what Skanky said.

There is a crackdown on this type of unwelcome activity

Very Effective.... if you want to chase users away from apolyton.


What about a nice friendly warning and a "get that file off in 48 hours or else" instead?

Most people either don't know about the regulations (that weren't as clear at first) or have forgotten about their files (like myself).

I see this 'punishment' as totally uncalled for and unjustified.


If I forget to return a library book, they usually call me up and remind me to do it. They don't put me in jail for a day.

Congratulations!!

You have won the DrSpike spurious analogy award for this month.

[Ecthy]

no, but from the first day on they'll demand fee. at least the greedy buggers over here do that.

[Sirotnikov]

Why noy use tha apolyton news feature or the announcements feature instead?

I promise you that unless you annoue this, no one is going to delete the files on his own.

I was once late for some 6 months, and that was 4 month after my library membership expired...

I returned it and they said thanks.


(I usually took philosophy books which no one else reads in that neighbourhood)

[Sirotnikov]

What's so spurious about it?

I didn't know it was forbidden at the time, and then I forgot that I have the file.

A simple "hey, you forgot an illegal file on our server" would have saved mods the banning rod, and me the furstration.

[Ecthy]

it was just one day, quit whining

strange how you can delay books like that in your country... should move there!

Have to agree with Ecth.
The punishment of one day is a light slap on the wrist and not really a punishment.

He did get everyone's attention. Why should he have to go through every upload? Hopefully in the future he will not have to spend the time.

I'm a bit fortunate then, I deleted everything a few weeks ago...

First... if you had taken the time to read the rules on uploads, it is very clear. Only game site supported related material is allowed.

Second... as stated, it was a 24 hour restriction, and it served it's purpose... it got your attention.
You broke the rules... so it was more than justified.

I have a question, although slightly off topic but I think this might be the place to ask. I had two little image files for the ACDG uploaded. And as the waves of banning going on I thought I'd better get them deleted. Well when I checked they were not there any more. Does that mean that somebody deleted them for me? Or files get automatically purged after a while?

You received a 24-hour ban for posting some non-site related images a few weeks ago...

[Snowflake]

Oh! So that's why I wasn't able to access Poly that one day. Sorry to have bothered you guys to have to delete them for me. But you see I have tried to correct myself, even if a little late. I promise I'll be more vigilant in following the rules in the future.

[mrmitchell]

Considering Poly's traffic lately, wouldn't they have not been able to get on for that 24 hours anyway?

But seriously, nothing related to game material? I'll have you know there is a very intruiging game called the OT
