i recieved a warning about my warez post, although i posted the thread before the policy was instituted. i understood the concern, so i backed off the warez posting. i was banned for posting a question (which could have been construed as sarcasm) about the policy, and now i am allowed back? in admins post, he mentioned that the battle was over.... how was it a battle? theres not much of a fight when your ID becomes banned and your words (or fighting i guess i should say) are deleted before they can reach others. hmmm deleting the past so others wont rebel too.. ya, 1984 was a good book
