Forum Morals

Pirated VCD sales is very popular in Singapore. The police have nabbed a lot of people selling these.

 

Don't worry about JB..... He's just posting for the sake of posting at the moment!

 

actually BigBuck, as you know reasonably well, previously in life, I have been involved in a lot of cheating. I have seen a lot of piracy.

Ahoy! Me hearty!!

 

Arrrrrrrrrr.....

 

Thank you for that BigBuck, this thread was getting a little too serious. Thanks for the light hearted joke.

Absolutely. Theft is theft is theft is theft.


And Jimbob1989, I don't doubt that you have the brains to know it..(you are still a fair way off that 1,000 mark...don't think you'll make it.)

 

I totally agree Jimboy....and it will happen for some of us....when Hell freezes over

Morals young man....Morals

 

You will have to post a picture to show us the expression on your face when I proove you wrong

Jimbob

 

Couldn't do that, it would crack your monitor screen....I look worse than Bubba's avatar.

 

I'll go and prepare my thank you speech

Jimbob

 

Unfortunately some people have a pretty slanted view on what the definition of "theft" is.

Play on, big ed

PS I'm still trying to figure out what the big deal is about post count.

 

This might not be the case, however moderator's are often decided on the rate at which they post as long as they are of good enough quality. Some feel that the number of posts resembles how good you are at the subject(s) being discussed in the forum.

Personally, I have too much time free and so often spend a little too much time posting in forums and as wilders in one of the best I tend to focus on wilders.

Jimbob

 

No moderators at Wilders have ever been chosen by # of posts or rate of posting. That would be a ridiculous way to decide such a thing.

 

Detox, sorry my friend, I didn't make too clear what I meant. I was not talking about wilders before, and I did mention that quality is taken into consideration as well.

Jimbob

 

Whew! But I already knew that!

Play on, big ed

 

Some forums base moderators on post count, although an ineffective way you end up with mods that can post like robots.

Jimbob

 

Jimmy,

I quarantee you that I did not find my "Soul Mate" by posting in forums or working on my stamp or coin collections. Ya gotta get out into the sunshine!

Keep looking, big ed

 

Ah I get out and do exercise as well. I'm a keen swimmer, runner and cyclist. I also enjoy boxing and a little weight lifting. Although I spend a ltitle too much time on the computer, I do get exercise as well.

I also enjoy a little socialising, going to the cinema, bowling and so on.

I GUESS WE WERE RAISED WITH DIFFERENT MORALS BECAUSE I WILL NEVER ACCEPT PIRACY, YOU MIGHT AS WELL ACCEPT BURGLARY, ARMED ROBBERY AND MOST OTHER CRIMES. Because it is just plain theft and it takes a lack of morals to be involved in that activity. I would not assist someone that has problems caused by pirated or cracked software because I would be condoning the act of theft if I did.

Hi Jimbob1989,

You should remember that Wilders hosts several official support forums for security and other software developers and where the developers actively participate. You should also understand that some Wilders' members own or manage businesses and understand directly the impact of product theft (theft of their hard work). It is a serious subject for some of us.

My view is not that piracy is OK and should be accepted, my view is to help everyone as I believe everyone is equal. People do things for various reasons however strange they may be and no one will Ever be able to understand everyone. I will help anyone that I am able to help, if they are stupid enough to mention that they illegally obtained something that may be a little different. Like I said earlier, people can lie all they want online and there is nothing that will be done about it. I purchase my software, but that doesnt mean others do.

 

I'm not sure why we are discussing this topic?
When the pirate comes to this forum wanting some assistance, I'm sure the silence will be deafening!

 

Why, to help Jimbob get his first 1,000 posts in, of course!

 

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!
I just sprayed a mouthful of coffee all over my computer!!!
