I've been banned from the ElderScrolls forum! Well, actually only suspended for three days. But still... And I don't know why. Odd. I'll find out after tomorrow at 7:00 PM.

Oh, that sucks! I'm sure it's just a misunderstanding, Cleg. From what I've seen of you both here & at Larian I'd say you were a boon to any forum. I can't imagine you doing anything to actually deserve it! I hope everything resolves well for you.

OK. My suspension is over. I received the following PM (which I couldn't access during my suspension) I sent this response: To my knowledge I never linked to a website that advocates illegal file sharing. I reported on the hypocritical actions of the MPAA. The article I linked to pointed out that while the MPAA is intolerant of of the use of their copyrighted material they themselves were using guilty of doing the very same thing. For the record, I do not indulge in illegal file sharing. I merely disapprove of the tactics used to combat it by the MPAA. The article in question to which I had linked on the ElderScrolls site was the very same one which I quoted in elliotkane.proboards27.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1171975996

Misunderstanding, then. A mod who was quick on the trigger finger when s/he misinterpreted something. I thought it had to be something like that.

Cleg, please report what kind of response you get now. I'm *really* interested.

No response yet. The MPAA thread was deleted. EK, are you sure it is not a conspiracy

If you like. Perhaps leave my nick out. I am giving the mod another couple of days to respond at which time I will write a follow up to the forum mods.

Do you have a link for me towards that article you quoted ? Edit : Was looking for the article myself and I begin to understand now ... This news article was posted on a site that is called "torrentfreak", and "torrents" are normally used for illegal downloading or so I understood it. This could explain the reaction of the moderator : He or she just saw the adress or title "torrentfreak" ...

Still i think that mod should have looked into it a little more before triggering "the button"

Of course. The title alone does not necessarily mean it is about illegal downloading at all ! When I type the word "torrent" into dict.leo.org , then I receive several meanings - all related to water.
