Instead of whining/complaining (though it is irritating to many/a few) why don't we just post the issue/link and then just give our suggestions and "hope" the concerned member/moderator responds to it in an equal civil way?? I certainly think we should at least start every potential problem in that manner(it may get carried away or certainly become sarcastic/flaming) and see how it goes.
Ok, here are three potential issues which I think is of some concern, I was not the one to put it, but I find them relatively misleading because it seems to be unresolved owing to complications.
1)
Aryayush's post regarding torrents (not blaming you buddy)
Discussion related to torrent
clients ->
yes. it is software issue
Discussion related to torrent
trackers (as to how to check if tracker is down bla bla) -> again,
can be allowed, its software/technology issue.
Discussion related to
torrent sites (even though you provide a legal link which is in reality 0.01% in torrents, in spite of the fact that we all may accept what we all do) ->
No, against forum policy, its a site which hosts 99% of illegal stuffs and there is no justification to provide in that regard.
If there is a site dedicated to legal torrents (a big IF), of course the mods would/should allow it.
I hope this is what
grudgy intended to say (or at least I found peace in this regard) and hope this would clear the confusion reg. this issue
2)
Again Aryayush's post (again not blaming you, really. Please don't take it offensively)
I don't understand why its in QnA section because off late, I see only general discussions and features (games, themes etc...) of iphones, greatness of apple software in restoring, and other mac products of course. The thread has deviated way from clearing the questions/doubts. Or for that matter there are no questions to answer and so the thread is just continuing with apple's innovativeness and intuitiveness (which I don't deny but its not the place). Also, potentially leading to discussions regarding iPhone unlocked recently.(see 3)
3) also is in this regard,
3.1)
discussions pertaining to the legality of Mac OS X on PC is being
allowed (whose result was that it is illegal) while "how to install Mac OS X on a PC" threads will be locked/deleted.
3.2) discussions pertaining to legality of
iPhones unlocking SHOULD be allowed in the same regard, while "
discussing how or where to get softwares to unlock iPhone" as discussed in link2 should be avoided/intimated by moderators (this has not yet been done or replied to or actions taken and have stirred way too much arguments and off-topic/flaming posts, no blaming intended, I would have done the same).
3.3) and finally, the fanboyism issue. Yes, its the biggest of all. And, members and moderators are both involved in this!! I don't want to name here, but if necessary I can/will (certainly not helping in anyway though). Its time we
get over this "windows vs linux vs mac" issue and
restrict it to the fight club section alone and keep the sanity of the threads related to Mac or Windows Vista or so as such which is the purpose of the thread.
