Default If a server's patcher has any copyrighted files, you can't link to it either!

This seems to be where most of the people that break the rules screw up: they link to a server whose patcher distributes copyrighted Sony files.

This, too, falls under the category of "linking to sites that distribute copyrighted files" and is a TOS violation.
If the server distributes ONLY customized zone files, then mentioning it is permissible.
If it distributes any of the EQ executables or SOE zone files, then it is distributing copyrighted files. In that case, you are NOT permitted to link to it, nor mention it as a way to solve client version problems.

Hope that helps for anyone who was unclear on that.

Please try to warn offenders in PM (so they have a good chance of seeing it) before banning people.

Sometimse people break the rule but don't know that they are, if we can let them know what they did wrong and why it might help more that just banning.

I would tend to agree normally, but this isn't something where the person can reasonably say "Oh, sorry. I didn't know."
  1. There's a big announcement that says "Forum Rules" at the very top of every single page in the forum.
  2. The very first rule is:
    Warez Is NOT Allowed
    -This includes the transfer of any copyrighted material, including EQ Files and backpatches. Requesting files, even in a PM, will result in a ban.
  3. And then you have the fact that Warez is completely and totally illegal in the first place.

Even assuming that people fail to read the forum rules, they should have enough common sense not to post an illegal request on a public forum.

I say they get what they deserve.

READ THE RULES PEOPLE!
