With the weather you have in Greece, you should absolutely be outside in the sun, Markos... Make Skanky do the job, he seems to be the man!

Hehe Mark you must have known this would happen. Yes it is stupid, but so is posting a "MarkG is a big silly girl" thread, and I'm sure you've seen worse. 
Just prominently pcr the person(s) invoved; people will get the message.

Pouchers make the best hunters
To be honest, I'm surprised you were only able to find just 3.

How related? Could I, say, upload a song with "Civilization" in the title, if I own a legal copy?

He didn't say "civilization"- he said ILLEGAL files

But do you own the rights to redistribute, make copies, or transfer the file from the song? If it is just a CD you own, then you have no rights other than simply playing that disc. So then it is not legal to post it here (or at least not in the U.S. where I believe ACS has a server).

The upload feature is ready-made for abuse. 20MBs is a lot to offer someone when all they have to do is register at the site. Perhaps it should be available to people who only have x number of posts, so Chieftains and above.

hosting illegal files can get us into trouble with our server/network provider. the message must be strong

unfortunately with new releases (like moo3 now) there are many legitimate cases of settlers and chieftains who will need the feature

Then why not introduce a new class, that will let you use this feature after let's say 10 posts.

Or maybe a downward limit of say 1 MB, and then increase it after so and so many posts?

In case MarkG ever wonders about the pics I uploaded, just follow the Jedinican link in my sig. 
Anyway, the person in question banned would really like to know the reason for his ban...

Why should they be? Markos said that files that is related to the games the site covers, is accepted.

Well because one of the banned person has no idea why he was banned, as all the uploaded pics were for the democracy game.

Sorry Maniac, it seems like you believe I replied to you, but I replied to Kassiopeia. We just posted at the same time.

Yes yes I know. I was responding for Kassiopeia.
I hope we won't have to cancel the AC democracy game. It'll be real hard without him.

Wow! What a mess! But I'm sure you'll be able to still play the democracy game. I'd be very disappointed with Markos if not...

Hah! What a nice policy. Banning people for DG files is like banning someone for posting pro Macedonian (that Macdeonia you want to call FYROM) material as the public rules, if interpeted with a common sense, say it's allowed, but you still don't accept it. Whatever... not my site, but don't wonder if people leave it.

Oh, and just reminding that when you opened the Upload service, it was seen at that time as an option for placing DG files, but none the less no one was at that time warned it would be forbidden. Now where's the warning then, if it's despite previous statements forbidden?

If I haven't undertstood wrong, DG files is legal. It's related to the games covered, and therefore legal to upload. Kassiopeia just asked a question you know...
