I think the admins of this site need a little moderation skills. I mean honestly, what kind of administration bans people without prior notice? Did you ever stop to think that people didn't find the rules and read them?
Your answer to that is no, simply because the rules are there. But did you take into consideration the fact that there is *no* link to the rules *anywhere* on the front page OR the forum home page? You might want to step the user-friendliness up a notch and actually put a visible link to the rules post so that people don't miss it. You said yourself people are idiots, so if that's the case then they won't search for the rules. Unless of course you're just luring the people in so you can ban them just for that reason, in which case you, my friends, are the idiots.
Not to mention, yes warez is illegal, but did you ever stop to think that this entire project is illegal? If you're going to break one law you mightaswell break one more and let them have the files. There's idiocy for you.
My two cents: Get some better administrators, learn how to run your forum, and find someone who has people skills, because you sure as hell don't. Yeah, go ahead and ban me, I could care less about this underfunded, dead-end project.
