Gojira Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 I read on another forum that both me and many other community members (Namely Gadgethem, Steve5451, The Russian, Epsilon, etc.) participate on, that Steve5451 was banned for piracy. More accurately, Steve posted an image woth the standard ban message, except it said he was banned for piracy. Why is this? AFAIK he posted no bannable content. On the other forum (which also has a no piracy rule) he is generally a pleasant guy.Any info on this whatsoever?Thanks,GojiraNot trying to seem forceful in any way, if I do sound forceful please let me know.

vexx32 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 I\'m fairly certain the Squad guys have a policy of banning anyone who posts anything to do with pirating the game -- whether that\'s speculation on how it could be done, actually posting links to pirated content, referring to pirated content, saying they\'ve pirated the game, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayneCloud Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 There may be an issue with Steve, we are looking in to it. Suffice to say, an IP he is connecting from might have been banned that was at one time linked to another account that was banned. This is the issue with dynamic IP addresses. We\'re looking in to it.As far as piracy talk? You admit to pirating KSP, talk of pirating KSP, or do anything even remotely endangering this projects future, and we will drop the hammer on you like no bodies business. Yes piracy is a quote 'un-winnable' war, but we\'re going to fight it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayneCloud Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 [gmod]As a note, Steve5451 should no longer be banned, this was a system issue. Thread locked as the question was answered.[/gmod] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
