It's Talk Like a Pirate Day!

A certain amount of banter is permitted. Deliberate and consistent hostility and flamebaiting are not.

Piracy is not allowed on the forum for two reasons: it discourages an open relationship with the publisher and it wastes the time of mod developers who are asked to support and troubleshoot old versions of the game. I think the first one is fairly obvious. People here have varying views on piracy. IdolNinja and several of the other posters like to ridicule the pirates who come here because of stupid behavior; it's rightfully deserved ridicule, considering they blatantly ignore both one of the main rules and common sense considering Volition's presence lately.

Is someone taking a moral high ground on copyright law and rubbing it in the software pirates' faces? I don't think i've seen it. I don't think i've done it. All i've seen is people pointing out how they keep coming up with the same lies and excuses about failing to follow the rules.

There's no rule that you can't participate in the forum if you pirate any kind of copyrighted material, ever. It would be unenforceable, of course, but you could have an interesting debate about whether it would be of value to do so.

"Unlocking on-disk DLC" does not occur; it is explicitly disallowed. If someone does it on their own accidentally, oh well, shit happens, but if it becomes clear they intend to keep it that way, that's a pretty clear violation of the no piracy rule. A mod that does it will be removed as soon as it's found out.

For the record, i would like demos or demo modes to be universally available. I think Ouya requires them.

Was that an IP ban, or what?
 
If it was possible to do so, whenever a user gets banned for being a pirate, their username should link to this thread just to pour that little bit of extra salt on the wound.

All forums have rules on what's acceptable to talk about and how to say it. There are always certain things not allowed or tolerated, and if you fail to look over the rules and decide to break them, you done fucked up and must accept the consequences. I don't get why people who pirate these games always try to look for help from official sources or sites that work closely with the developer, that's like stealing a car from a dealership only to call them an hour later to tell them you can't open the hood because you keep hearing a funny noise. If these people want to pirate the game, fine they can go do that as we obviously cannot stop them. But, if they're stupid enough to show themselves here, they deserve every bit of ridicule and criticism we can dish out on them. I think [V] and Futurama said it best:

(This pic can also apply to Eurotrash for being a generally unpleasant person on these forums, but I digress)
You want to break the rules, be a pirate, and ask us for help? Then your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries! That's all I have to say.
 
I think I will join the fun...
