Fistandilius Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 (edited) The Terms of Service is clear that we do not allow links to illegal ports. If they are images, video or anything else. We will not encourage of facilitate these ports in any way. What you do in your own game is your issue. It has nothing to do with Beth but with Dark0ne and how he chooses to run this site and has been a long-standing policy here. We remove images from the image share daily, remove links to sites that showcase ported content and remove forum post that contain links to these sites or to videos (many of which have links to the illegal content also) with this content. It is not our habit to give these folks formal warnings or bans out of hand, but to remove the links and gently remind them of our Terms of Service. If they persist is when we continue forward. It happens, sometime people don't realize it is illegal content so we take these things with that in mind. For your review a quote from the ToS:"posting of any copyrighted material, unless the copyright is owned by you or you have consent from the owner of the copyrighted material, is strictly prohibited on any Nexus site. This includes linking to sites that contain copyrighted material used without permission of the copyright holder. Legal inquiries regarding copyright infringement are taken very seriously on Nexus sites and we will work with any legal body to identify and bring to justice anyone who might use a Nexus site to share copyrighted material." You can further read the Terms of Service (which was recently updated) and get a better idea of how we view these things:http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?app=forums&module=extras§ion=boardrules I'm sorry, but that's just asinine. Something that's completely legal for you to do on your own, but because you videoed it, it's suddenly not legal? This place really needs to lighten up. You can quote the TOS, but if you took that word for word, then you'd have to pretty much remove any video game footage or screenshots from this site because nobody has the copyrights to use that content.

hoofhearted4 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Hey Fist. I'm just Gunna throw something in from a friendly Nexus user..Linspuppy isn't banning anyone or doing anything. In fact you brought it up not a moderator. Second. What's almost as bad as breaking the rules? Arguing about them, esp in public. You went from asking a question about the rules which was answered and referenced to bashing said rules. Because there's no issue here I'd just stop before there becomes one.
