Last week Stardock's legal team partially shut down a warez site's message board that was fully of links to pirated copies of pretty much every program youc an think of (including Stardock's stuff naturally).
Well, needless to say, the warez folks aren't happy about that and in an amazing bit of timing are logging on here enmasse to try to spam the site full of anti-Stardock or anti-WindowBlinds comments and flames.
This puts us, the admins in a delicate situation. We don't want to censor people for having an opinion. But we don't want our website used as a propaganda tool for warez people.
So what should we do? Here's what we are doing, I hope none of our regulars are too upset about this but I'm not sure what else we can do. Basically, users logging on today and for the next couple days who randomly jump into a post or create a post that's basically flaming SD, WB, or WinCusto will have the post removed.
Users who have been here for a period of time are free to post what they want as long as it's on topic. Hopefully the warez kiddies will get tired and go somewhere else to vent their frustrations.
You may use the space below to vent on me for being a facist censoring bastard or whatever.
