Your Thoughts On Locking Threads About Piracy

What's with the anti-anything-that-even-smells-like-piracy stance of moderators on the board? Windelkron had an interesting thread started, for discussion of the causes of piracy, and it got locked. It wasn't supporting pirated software, it wasn't inviting requests, it was only discussing software piracy. It's something that exists, and is pretty widespread, so you can't pretend it just doesn't exist. It's a topic open for discussion like any other, and your paranoid, heavy-handed reactions to even the mention of its name are over the top. If someone infringes on copyrights, yes, lock the damn thread. But simply discussing it isn't illegal, isn't immoral, and leads to some interesting positions being explored, so please don't lock any similar threads in the future.

    If you have complaints about the boards moderation, please use PMs. Don't drag it in the public, where things can get pretty ugly in such cases.
