[QUOTE="toberane, post: 225368, member: 4968"] There is a difference between "objectionable" and "illegal". It would be similar to you coming into my house with illegal substances. My objection to that would have little to do with a moral stance one way or the other, and more to do with trying to cover my a** and not get into legal trouble over it. I know Morrus had problems a while back with the proper use of the d20 license in the conversion library. Even though he was not the one who made the conversions, he was the one who got flak from the legal department at WotC because he hosted it. If you are doing something that the owner of these boards interprets as illegal, he is well within his rights to forbid you to do it, and it has nothing to do with censorship. To be honest, anyone posting illegal material on this board is being at the very least an extremely rude guest in Morrus' house. Trying to call this rule from Morrus "censorship" is stretching the definition more than a little. edit: I went back and reread your quote, and on further reading, it appears that you agree with me more than I thought at first. It's two thirty in the morning here and I just finished a HUGE rum & Coke, so my judgement may be a little impaired. :) At any rate, I'd be willing to bet that it doesn't matter to Morrus if forbidding this material will make it more popular. Let it be popular on someone else's forum. At least he won't get in trouble for it. [/QUOTE]
