Just a quickie.

We have had a forum rule change today. I have no issues with the changes and in fact am surprised that the latest verboten subject lasted as long as it did.

BUT

I am surprised that there has been no forum wide broadcast that new rules are in force and that people need to be aware of them.

Maybe a red flashy thingy would be an idea also indicating what particular part of the rules have been amended.

Of course I could have missed it, getting old here

What rule changed?

Explorer

My point exactly!

Pretty sure that it's just Rule 10, which now has a reference to 'file sharing' as a prohibited subject, not sure if anything else has been modified though.

We added two words, "file sharing" in this paragraph:

10) Please do not post links to pages that contain objectionable material. This includes, warez, cracks, file sharing, .....

Cheers for the clarification George. Like I said, no issue with the change.

Thanks for bringing that up, its def something a lot of us would bring up.....!

So are we supposed to read the forum rules everyday in case there has been an amendment ?

What is wrong with File sharing?

It is the fact that too many people associate file share with sharing copyrite material the makes things like Bit Torrent get a bad name. As a programmer I often file share and use bit torrent as an efficient means of legally distributing programs and other files.

Don't worry I do understand the change but do get annoyed that something is banned because it "can" be used for illegal purposes.

Prevention is always better than the cure briley.

No, no it's not.

That's how you end up jailing people for 'perhaps' doing bad things in the future.
