    Let me just reiterate --
    I'm not upset by any of this.
    Actually, I find it kinda funny.

    Regret that I ran afoul of the rules?
    -Yes.
    Sorry that DanQ has to comb through the upload files for violators?
    -Well, not really. His rule, his choice.
    Regret the time I spent trying to figure out what was happening?
    -A little. But I did feel "restricted" so I guess the point was made. I just had no idea that I might have done something wrong... Mostly, I feel stupid for not realizing I was being punished, during the punishment.

    Believe me, I know what it takes to run a site this big and this active. I appreciate all the time and effort that goes into it, both from the owners and the all-volunteer staff.

    When you think about it, Apolyton's continued existence as a free site is really quite amazing.

      A short question: Is it allowed to upload for example pictures from Paradox games, since you have a forum for these games? I am a little unsire, since you have a forum for all of them, but don't specify closer. And games covered by the "other games" forum?

        I can't resist making a comment about contacting Ming. It's not that he responds to PMs faster than emails, don't believe him. He responds to emails fast - but his response to PMs seems to be instant.

        I nearly fell off my chair when I requested one thing from Ming... and in two minutes not only I got a reply, but my request was granted...

          While I see your point, I see the point of the posters more. Perhaps one message from Dan or Mark to the Mod on Duty to send PM's to those affected?

          Seems like a cordial thing to do to members of the community. Leaving them to wonder weather or not they are experiencing software problems is kinda harsh. If they had done something overt then I can really see your point, but...albiet they should have...most did not know the rule.

            Yes, I have found him excellent in response time. PM's are the way to go!

              Actually this is odd. I should've been banned as well.

                Perhaps he didn´t saw it...
                The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power. Not wealth or luxury or long life or happiness: only power, pure power.

                  While it does take more of the mods time...I think they should send a PM.

                  In fact, it would be easier if there was a "CC:" feature....CC to all people who violated the rule saying "You have a file in question. Check it now!".

                    I would love a CC feature...

                    And yeah... I think the sweeps are "random" and they don't look at every file. Who really has the time for that

                              Oh so you don't think that Dan went through all 43,000 Apolytoner's uploads

                                A question about uploads...

                                I'm storing in my upload site a beta version of an utilty for civ2, the source-code of it and a document for betatester. I'm pretty sure these things don't break the rules (they're civ2 stuff, after all). However, the sourcecode is password-protected (for obvius reasons). Should I change the password to be the same that the password of my apoly acount (if that is avaliable for mega-mods)? The problem is that this ZIP file couldn't be examined by mods, so they can't know if I'm saying the thrutgh or a lying. If there is a problem with that, I'll download it.
