    Mark, who did what and what were the consequences?

    Rumours have a life of their own in the absense of facts.

      Assuming Mark is too busy here to answer very often (banning must take time), supposedly at least one of those banned attempted to upload a .mp3 for personal download later on. If true, this is outside of any Demo Game procedure and is thus personal between the poster(s) and the Admin.

      Perhaps a little harsh a penalty for a first and (assuming) unintentional offense of this kind, but not as bad as it seems to be thought by some of you posting here.

      Of course this is hearsay, but it might just be true... It at least makes sense.

        It isn't just hearsay; TKG said he recalled uploading one so he could access it at school.

            After reading this thread I think we should only give the rights to the persons whom need it, IE: Managers, Presidents, DG's (whatever they are) and VP's (I'm assuming Vice President.) If anyone else comes up with some more examples/ideas then please posts some, however dont go spamming this thread, it shouldn't be spammed but it should be discussed.


            It is a good feature for the site though, if it can be used without being abused. I'd say lower the amount of space on offer, and make it clear what the consequences will be for any abusers.

              I've noticed a pattern of MarkG being tight lipped about things and having that lead to rumors. Inevitably the truth comes out in the end so why not skip the whole song & dance and get right to the juicy stuff?

                that's what I wanted to hear
                I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

                  Because if 20 or so people each make a couple of posts for information it boosts Poly traffic.

                      Not to mention all the extra registrations that the 'Poly upload scandal will prompt.

                        Just a note: are illegal files mp3s and roms or is it just another name for porn

                          It turned out TKG's ban was justified after all.

                            Watch this thread and you can watch how the information is being disseminated from one person to the next.

                              I wonder how what type of porn they had allong with their illegal mp3's...


                              I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).

                                Hmm.. spambots could really use this feature to host porno files...

                                What if you set it so that moderators have to authorize people with less than 25 posts... and that people under 50 posts are limited to 2 megabytes (because they probably won't be posting that many files for download until they have played the game/posted here that often)

                                and above 50... anything goes- until an offense... that seems fair!
