Hacking Why are the moderators so incredibly bias and hyprocrital?

It's not a matter of bias, it's a matter of legality. We cannot provide, or even link to SX resources as the software and hardware has been deemed illegal in multiple countries. The reason for that is very simple - it contains copyrighted material. That being said, we can't control what people do with software or hardware they already own privately - if they want to hack it or modify it, they're free to do so. I hope that clears it up for you.

Wouldnt sigpatches that allow piracy be illegal but you allow people to post them?

We don't allow that. If you find it, report it.
We however allow the script to "crack it" to be present since you must yourself do it.

So your assisting by providing the nessasry files. Does that not make you just as guilty

People in general are like that. In Russia, we have a term called 'porter syndrome'. It's when a person gets a very miniscule amount of power and overusing to overcompensate for something. That's basically the case for most psycho moders.

That's pretty much like saying - why should words not be illegal. It depends what you do with them at the end of the day. The words themselves aren't wrong, but if you called someone something they didn't like - they could perceive that as a hate crime - so should you ban the words........no of course not, that would be stupid.

Sigpatches are just bytes of non-commercial code - those bytes are found in every program in the world and are just like words, but what YOU chose to do with them is up to you.

Just curious. It's an honest question.

Because we are open to bribery.

Anyway I think @Foxi4 and @Chary have explained our stance pretty well. Discussion is not prohibited and never will be, linking to protected materials is. I think that is fair enough and I do not see what the issue is. If you really believe us to be corrupt or biased there are lots of other places you can go to that will suit you better.

Discussion threads about mod actions are not really allowed, you have had plenty of time to have your say on the matter. This thread will now be closed but will still remain visible to all because we have nothing to hide regarding your concerns.
