Crossy Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 (edited) 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 Edited December 19, 2005 by Crossy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Explorer Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 What rule changed? Explorer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted December 19, 2005 Author Share Posted December 19, 2005 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.

george Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 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, ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thetyim Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 So are we supposed to read the forum rules everyday in case there has been an amendment ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briley Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAWP Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 No, no it's not. That's how you end up jailing people for 'perhaps' doing bad things in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
