Sorry, Yeah, it breaks the rules, but it needs to be said...

Torankusu · #1 07-26-2002, 05:21 AM

Now, brad gets banned for discussing roms, but Nemesis doesn't?

MalakSylv · #2 07-26-2002, 05:21 AM

unban brad or feel my wrath

DeathChill · #3 07-26-2002, 05:22 AM

TORAN!YOU FORGET, THE STAFF GET A HIGH OFF BANNING SOMEONE~#(&@$(*

DeathChill · #4 07-26-2002, 05:23 AM

I don't understand why the topic couldn't have been deleted and Brad warned. Plus we can talk about MP3's which is JUST as illegal as roms. ***** staff.

Torankusu · #5 07-26-2002, 05:24 AM

All I remember is Nemesis was talking about an SoM rom/emulator thing. I showed Alkaren, and Alkaren didn't want to ban him.

MalakSylv · #6 07-26-2002, 05:24 AM

what's the big deal about talking about emulators anyway? so long as you don't obviously attack a ****ing emulator/ROM to a post, why the hell would it matter?

Brad2 · #7 07-26-2002, 05:26 AM

I thought about it before I made the thread and I looked at the top and saw the stupid thing about MMORPGS which I don't even know what are. I figured that wasn't a ROM so I posted anyways. =/
this = stupido

Torankusu · #8 07-26-2002, 05:26 AM

It marks as competition with Graal. Such as R4gnar0k.

Sir_Gareth · #9 07-26-2002, 05:27 AM

Acculy. That was like me I said "F@g" once and Im banned but some of the moderators friends say it but never banned.

TrueHeaT · #10 07-26-2002, 05:28 AM

can someone show me the exact thread(s) brad was banned for so i can launch a proper investigation? (proper investigation = look at it for a few minutes and decide whether his banning was rightful)

MalakSylv · #11 07-26-2002, 05:29 AM

we're not allowed to talk about ******ok or ROMs. what about consoles? i'd say that's a pretty bloody HUGE competition for Graal. hey everyone, let's all remind the staff of graal about how much better than graphics on EVERY console is compared to graal, and how nothing LAGS, and how the spelling is correct, etc.

I'm sorry, but this is ridiculous. now, i'll probably be banned for defending brad's right to talk about something that is hardly going to suddenly take everyone away from graal forever.

Just do a search on the word and it's all over the place. So the person who banned you probably just didn't like you

NGRT, page 2. Thread name = emul.

He asked for them, whereas nemesis stated he was playing one. (I can't find that, but Alkaren SHOULD remember it.)'

TrueHeaT · #15 07-26-2002, 05:31 AM

I just read the thread..

What the **** were you thinking, Alkaren?

ADkjaskas
what the **** is wrong with you?
Instead of closing or deleting the thread and PMing brad not to post rom stuff you BAN him immediately? Are you goddamn crazy?

What do you think will come from GraalOnline? I think its stupid to ban him for talking about roms. But its ok to talk about X-Box and GameCube? Holy ****! The staff are trying to keep what little player base they have right now. Banning people for talking about other competitors(sp?) is pretty stupid.

DeathChill · #17 07-26-2002, 05:35 AM

I don't quite understand, I can post a topic about MP3's, but not roms?

Torankusu · #18 07-26-2002, 05:39 AM

and, they allow us to discuss ripping of MP3s/cds in RC chats. ;D

Wow, MP3's are more illegal then roms, watch the news and see how many MP3 sites and transfer programs are being sued. Stupid *****ic graal staff.

ZanderX · #20 07-26-2002, 05:43 AM

Moderators (Nemesis) can't be banned by Alkaren; it has to be done by one of the admins (Stefan, unix, galen).

Echos · #21 07-26-2002, 05:46 AM

I think the mods are fools! What if we discuss legal ROMS do we get banned then?

Seriously, Brad shouldn't have been banned... I eman a ROM is not giving graal any competition.... is it?also if your gonna ban someone for talking about an MP3 youd have to ban Graal2k2 cause it uses MP3s

Now, if Alkaren really sent a ban-note to galen about banning Nemesis, it would of probably been done by now.

It's distribution of copyrighted material via MP3 that's illegal. The format itself is not illegal.

BLOOD_kane · #25 07-26-2002, 05:49 AM

ok what i dont get is why we cant discuss MMORPG's that well graal cant compete with in the first place meaning way outta graal's leauge...ie EVERQUEST or STAR WARS GALAXIES, i played both EQ and Graal i dont think EQ would steal graal players....but on the other hand (im using this as an example im NOT PROMOTING IT) if i were to mention and promote Zelda 2002 then YES that would be competition for graal.

I know, I know, I was just stating the fact that Alkaren wouldn't have been able to do it himself.

TrueHeaT · #27 07-26-2002, 05:54 AM

Uhh.. I don't think roms are not allowed because they're competition, it's because they're ILLEGAL. Anyway, Brad should not have been banned though. Just warned and thread closed.

Aknts · #28 07-26-2002, 05:55 AM

Stuff like this is why I have never liked Alkaren..

BLOOD_kane · #30 07-26-2002, 06:01 AM

Yes, but home made roms aren't illegal then right? So I can talk about home made roms

-SLaG- · #33 07-26-2002, 06:10 AM

Let me just add, Roms are only illegal if you dont own the game

What's your point? I'll bet you 200 bucks none of the people who have ever asked for roms on the forums actually own the games they ask for.

TrueHeaT, prepare to be removed from NGRT mod position. Alkaren Hyralt doesn't like anyone disagreeing with him, like some OTHER

main forum mod I know.
