Banning Iso talk

[WhiteX]

I believe we should ban talking about downloaded isos, how we get our hands on the games was never discussed here and it is somewaht covered by our rules, however with chankast and other emulators based on cd images (far harder to handle than roms) we found ourselves not only accepting this sort of talk but also helping ppl with their "warez" copies of games, like here...

I mean, we are not an winrar forum or a cd burning community, this take time that should be spent helping ppl with problems on their emus or posting debug information to help the developers, so i believe that this kind of thing should be more covered in our rules.

Dont be a Nazi WhiteX my boy! Curcumstances might put someone in a situation where they need to unzip an ISO that someone else zipped (i dunno, like an older brother trying to get more space from the hardrive??) or if they made an ISO of a game and the CD got scratched so they need to burn a CD for themself. I think if someone has a question about how to unzip something or how to burn a CD of an ISO then they should get the help they need; sometimes a direct answer from someone in a forum is alot more helpful than google.

I know this is just an Emu forum, but i can handle a noob post on the boards for a couple of days until the question is answered and the post drops down the list.

Chrono... that was the funniest shit i've ever seen in any forum... I laughed my ass off.

fyi, the mods decided a while ago on the status quo, and are sticking by that, so, heh, though it is a good point whitex made

[WhiteX]

thank you for the answer.

Dont be a Nazi WhiteX my boy!

Well you got a point there but id say if someone mentions the word download then we should not help em'

P.S: Highlight the white space between word and then if you wanna see the WORD or if you wanna make your eyes hurt read it without highlighting it.

Sith are not Nazi.
What is a Nazi, just a little pile of secrets.
It was not by my hand that i was once again given the Force.
I was brought here by xneoangel post on my CP, who wishes to pay me tribute.
But enough of that, have at you!
Too many Symphony on my nights...and we just got off topic.

For the Isos matter, i guess Xneoangel is right, if the guy is clearly asking for "free candy" we just get him the silent treatment.
Now, where´s that damn whip?

[xneoangel]

Errm i didnt meant that way i meant sith are evil, nazis are evil so they are kinda alike JUST in that aspect.

Anyway yes the wiser solution would be to not help the ppl that clearly says their game is warez, downloaded, etc

And i say this because there is many ppl that likes to make backups of their games (me included) and they add it to a zip or rar.

P.S: why do you need a whip when you can use a lightsaber?
