I think with Resident Evil 5's release right around the corner, that it is time to remind everyone about our stance on piracy and magazine scans.
So apparently, some people just can't get it through their heads what is an isn't acceptable here at the boards and have been bombarding the moderators with PM's, whining about infractions and such because they just couldn't wait to tell everyone that they illegally watched Degeneration. So now its time to set some things straight:
1). Admitting you pirated any form of meda (and lets be honest, the only reason you'd be saying that you "JUST SAW" Degeneration was piracy) earns you a one month ban from the site.
2). THIA distinguishes from BETA and RETAIL games. Thus, beta games won't earn you a ban.
3). Mag scans - no no. The only thing we currently allow is non English mag scans for the news page.
4). Dark Biohazard is a mod which requires the retail version of RE2. Trying to bring up the mod, in some sad attempt to try and equate people praising the mod and those who brag about download Degeneration is just pathetic.
5). From now on, there are no more warnings. If you let on that you pirated something, you are gone for 30 days. Repeated infractions for this will earn you a permanent ban.

Please review this list, and learn it well, that includes members that have news posting privileges. The magazine industry is already dying because of the internet, it needs no help by people posting entire articles and magazines, this sort of thing eliminates jobs and job opportunities for people, like myself, who planned on being apart of it. Thank you.
