Well, I'm sure you're all aware of it by now, but here is a reminder: Zelaron will NOT tolerate warez. A recent thread about various ways to share such unlicensed software and movies was recently posted, and while free speech is one of the rights for all of our members, we cannot tolerate public discussions about stolen software.

In fact, it's against the rules of our datacenter. If we'd be a warez site, we would be shut down. Here's one interesting post from the thread mentioned above:

"You can purchase full length DVDs @my site soon...

http://www._________.net

We have Enter the Matrix out... along with some other 'hot' titles."

Talking about unlicensed software, which in fact is very common, is one thing, but trying to SELL it is another. In some countries, you can be fined for hundreds of thousands of dollars and sent to prison for several years. Not only was the message posted by any random member, but by our own administrator tacoX.

Taco, you're supposed to be a role model to the users. This time, you certainly proved not to be, and no excuses will be accepted. You have left us no other options than to deadministrate you, and that's all to it.

Wow, was the post a joke, or was the site actually a legit warez site? Anyway, I think it is a smart decision based on the given information. Hopefully people will continue to obey the rules and have fun! :)

Oops sorry about that Taco, It was my post but I believe it was misinterpeted. What I was looking for was comedy clips and other things of that nature, not liscensed feature films. I am trying to find an old Star Wars/Cops spoof, it was called Troops I think.

Hmm... I think the decision was abit too hard to de-admin him.Since the beginning of the no-warez rule, there has been a zero tollerance policy for staff members. We've always adhered to this before, why should we not do so now?

So many people allways get a new chance here why not he?
So many people posted a link to an other forum or to warez sites too. He made a mistake ok but ... thats not my board thats Chruser board and he decide what is good and bad for the forum.

Well this isn’t the first time tacos done something, I’m going to stand by the rest of the admins on this one, Admins should all agree on something of this caliber.

As far as my personal opinion on taco, He’s my friend, I talk to him quite a bit, and he’s making a lot more money online then I could ;p You have to know how to keep Business and Personal opinion away from each other, bias causes bad business decisions based on personal ones (Although I was minorly flamed before for bring up this exact topic because people say that results in taking zelaron to seriously, the point is, I do take this forum that seriously).

(Mr.lee your post was split and put into offtopic section)

wtf?? what does everyone have against taco??? did i miss something? it seems like every1 hates himI'm not really sure. The only person I know of that really hates Taco is Xenn. Further it seems that most older forum members take sides with either Taco or Xenn; I guess most of the newer members side with Xenn due to many unscrupulous actions by Taco.

Really the whole hate Taco thing is pointless. Xenn has personal reasons for hating Taco, but I really don't see why everyone else goes hating on Taco. I take issue with his actions but I don't hate him for them.

Randuin -- Please dont talk. Your pre-pubecient voice hurts my ears. And your artwork sucks.

And WW -- The host doesnt care man about my post (or sites/forums about it) -- backup*****.net and burnforums are both hosted by him -- and he actually doesnt give a flying shit. Oh well.

Anyways -- just responding to the last few posts.

Taco honestly isn't a bad person if you get to know him. I've talked to him on the phone a few times, and he's cool. (Although it'd be cool if the voice deepening part of puberty came along for him... ;) j/k). Anyways, obviously he violated the rules, and he's going to be de-admined. Will he still be able to be a regular member here on the forums, or is that it...? :x


And as for the whole Xenn/Taco war... I don't see why forum members are getting so involved, choosing sides, and bitching at eachother for reasons they probably don't even know. It's like the Capulets and Montagues. They hate eachother, and they don't even know why. I think users should let their business be their own and leave them alone. Taking sides and bashing on eachother does no good, isn't Zelaron about unifying people, insted of turning them against eachother...?

Jeez, get a grip everyone. Bashing TacoX is fun and is usually done in the Flame Forum, so just shut the fuck up about how everyone should stay out of it for reasons they don't know. I can and will continue to bash who ever I want on this Forum, as long as it is done in the proper place, regardless of personal opinions.

He was De-Admined. Great. It's over. Time to move on.
