Why are people not nice?

[Jeremy Buloch]

I think that the person whom is getting the upload feature should only get special privillages. Meaning "No-one" Can use it unless that person has been authorized by Ming, or MarkG, or some other administrator. It would make them post illegal files less often, making an ideal way to do things. Not the post count because what if a person needs to do it and that person cant do it yet it is a legal file, and cant because he/she is new. So I think the "Special Authorization" rules are in order.

Thats basically how it used to be. You needed to make a direct request to the admin for them to host a file for you. The major problem with this system is time - they don't have enough time as it is, let alone with the added responsibilities of checking each and every file that is uploaded to the server.

[MarkG]

in some cases of banings, we dont go into specifics (in public) to avoid people thinking of doing the same thing

it's the same as why dramatized recreations of crimes on tv are a bad, bad thing.

[Skanky Burns]

Thats not such a good policy on a strategy gaming forum though. In the absence of fact, the people here will try to discover every possible combination that will lead to banning.

[MarkG]

"possible combinations" should first be filtered by a human brain before being posted

i believe the terms/phrases: "illegal" and "related to games we cover" when used by most (working) human brains give two things as the most possible cases: warez and mp3.
NOT demo game screens...

Skanky has a point though Mark......this (and other issues) generated far more interest because no ordinary posters knew what had happened. A short sharp statement from yourself would nip a lot of it in the bud. To modify a well-known saying, a post in time, saves nine.

You of all people would want nine posts though Spikie

Seems like I was making a point.......it is the +1(9?)ers that follow me and post comments like those that are the true spammers.

[Jamski]

Well, I am the winner of a DrSpike "Spam Award", so I'm allowed to get +1's this way.

[DrSpike]

You are the winner of the post stats challenge; that is a serious sporting contest, not spam.

[Jamski]

I see.

This is probably stupid, but does this mean i can't post a picture of my boy(when i get round to it)

[FrustratedPoet]

You could still attach it to a post in the normal way, couldn't you?

[Ming]

Gee... it might be time to hand out a bunch of PCRs to those who are just looking for +1 in Communiy Forum threads...
