View Poll Results: What is your stance on Warez?
Warez are great! Freedom of speech for everyone! How far is this going to go? No game HACKS and CHEATS because of the policy? This is pathetic! 18 38.30%
I like Warez for a constructive purpose. In other words, I want to be able to at least talk about them, and maybe even share a little... 17 36.17%
No, I don't like Warez, but there has to be another solution to this. Members shouldn't have to leave! 6 12.77%
Warez are pathetic! You leech someone else's work and distribute it to others freely! Do you remember those slaves in Rome? Their owners gave them food for their work. What do we give to the developers for their "free work"? Absolutely nothing! We are treating the developers WORSE than slaves! 3 6.38%
Actually, I have a great idea. Just scroll down to my post! 3 6.38%

As you may or may not know, Zelaron has been around for almost a year now, and here is one of the rules that has been here since january:

"By clicking the Agree button, you warrant that you will not post any messages that are obscene, vulgar, sexually-orientated, hateful, threatening, or otherwise violative of any laws."

Warez are illegal, and a big change is that we have actually started to enforce the rule. For the past few weeks, we have had a non-tolerance for all kinds of warez, and this has resulted in a lot of members saying that "Zelaron is going downhill".

Here is an example of what a small portion of the members thought about one of the latest incidents in the area:

The reason why we enforce warez is because they are a violation to the server policy. If we have ANYTHING to do with them, there is a chance that we will get kicked off the server. On the other hand, members have demanded that this non-tolerance rule should be removed instantly, or they would leave. I have also heard that the "freedom of speech" was one of the things that made Zelaron so popular, enjoyable and unique.

Please share your thoughts about all of this, and don't forget to vote either.
