So these modified files are accepted by those companies who made the games that are covered on Apolyton.
|
Of course, that doesn't mean that they are techically leagal, to which I was refering (and confused).

I didn't know I was banned as I was in Seattle for the weekend - just found out today when I was puzzled by the "welcome back" messages
My offence was to post in the community forum pics thread one of RedFred and me at the 3rd annual Vancouver SMAX convention. It was removed by, I guess, one of the moderators.
I didn't think it was an "illegal" pic - I would accept that one taken from the Homeworld convention or the Sims convention would be, but given that this thread to which I posted is 29 pages long and contains around 100 personal pics, I didn't think I was "flouting" anything
Other pics I uploaded were relevant to the PEACE faction in the ACDG
I have removed all my uploads from the system and will not use this feature in the future.

He was NOT restricted for posting pictures in a "thread"...
He was restricted for using the Apolyton "uploads" directory for personal pictures... which is against the rules.
There's a big whoops on the part of Googlie, NOT the owners

But not game "site covered" related
The Apolyton uploads directory is NOT meant for personal pictures.

What's the difference between posting it as an attachment in the Picture thread or putting it in the upload folder? Especially since they were both used for the same thing?

The upload folders are only meant for supported game related material... as the rules state.
To the best of my knowledge, there are no rules for attachments in the picture thread beyond the normal decency rules

Okay...so attachments are not considered uploads for the purposes of this conversation?

Apparently this is summed up by the word "illegal" * .
Am I the only one finding this explanation surreal?

ok, just to make things clear: you can attach anything you want, provided you don't break any decency rules, but you cannot upload anything you want, unless it is game-related material, right?

That's is basically correct.
Now... if you attach something and a mod consideres it spam... you could get in trouble as well. Some person was posting a Big Stupid picture on every post he made... the same picture... he is still restricted

Everybody hated it... and all he could say was " I want that to be my signature"... and my response was a one way ticket to the Island

I thought he was a DL, but from what Ming says he seemed to be legit. Which is worse, because it proves how stupid people can really be.

He many have been a DL... but nothing that could be tracked down. So I assume it was just a moron.

Thank God I only have two 10 or so kb pics in there...one was a test file that I haven't deleted, and one was a bad joke I used for the PtW-DG. Am I safe?

Apolyton's "Upload" service is hosted on the same server as the vast majority of its services are: on 'Settler II' (apolyton.net).
