policy change?

[jaerdaph]

So the policy here is still "if you ask for scanned copyrighted material, EN World tells you don't ask for scanned copyrighted material on our boards, then EN World leaves the original request for scanned copyrighted material up anyway, along with the user name and contact info of the person requesting it, so someone else can still send it to them privately"?

I've got no problem with not suspending people, but why does EN World leave the requests up?

Clearly, to annoy you.

More specifically, links are immediately erased. Egregious requests ("I was hoping to get scans of WotC's Book of Piracy, can you help? Email me!") get erased. Problematic threads are closed and quickly sink. There's a certain educational factor in closing the threads and letting them sink; it's a reminder to people who see them that we prefer to not have this sort of thread posted. Just deleting them doesn't send this message.
