ok somthing im gettin really frustrated with latly is people not following forum rule, it's not that hard you know,

i feel sorry for the Moderators in the last few days every time im on people are breakin the forum rules example: Advertising i saw some one tryin to sell an xbox, today people lookin for iso games and cracks what next, im not having a go at Afterdawn, Afterdawn is great best site i've ever been part of, and i wanna be an Afterdawn addict one day but i'd rarther do it helpin people then warning the that tell will get banned if they keep on breakin the rules

so please just read the rules follow them and this will be a great place

Yeah i agree with your frustration! It feels like common sense to me not do what some people do...

But that being said their is around 300,000+ (my guss) peaple a day passing through afterdawn, so you are going to get a few people slipping through the rule net : )

you know,no matter how much you try, you will never get all people to read forum rules. even the spammers!
these threads (no offense) are pointless, yes, but sometimes the rules need to be re-itterated. if you can get the newbies to read before they post, half the threads in here would not exist. but thats just my opinion. the search button is a wonderful tool, its just getting people to use it !!

not being funny here, but this forum is about common sense.

my common sense tells me

not to post spam.
not to swear
not to @ 'bash' other members, or offend them or make them subject to abuse
not to post for help to members with a high knowledge by pm (unless invited), because it isn't fair.

if you don't have this sort of common sense, i feel for you.

i have never looked at the rules word for word. i don't need to. if some particulars had a little more common sense, the the mods (and members aswell) wouldnt have to keep getting p'd off and posting the link to the rules 4 damn idiots who take advantage of the space.

grr..

:)

The ones that get Booted and Have problems are the ones who don't think before they post... If you're trying to convert a DivX or XviD (AVI) to DVD just say that's what you want help with... Don't be dumb and say Yeah I downloaded Star Wars III from Kazaa and it's in AVI format and I want to convert it to DVD....

Well then of course we are going to jump on ya because you're talking about Piracy as well as the task at hand...

Just say I have a AVI and I need to convert it to DVD can you please help...

If you have a ? about peer to Peer don't tell us what you plan on D/Ling if it's Illegal that will get you booted and in trouble.
If you're having problem backing up a game PS2 XBOX or whatever dont' say you went and rented it from Netflix or Blockbuster and you need help backin it up there again you're getting into piracy..

Common sense people.. Don't put your foot in your mouth when all you had to ask was a basic ? we don't need the illegal details... If you get busted we don't need it comin back on us as users and afterdawn for answering a piracy ?

and most annoying of all don't post a ? that is listed if you search for it about 100x + we don't like answering the same thing day after day after day..

O and if your gonna talk about pirated movies/games i dont have a problem with it just try and reword it so its sounds legal(instead of i just got a copy of soul calibre 2 say i just made a backup copy of soul calibre 2)as long as you dont get caught and make it sound as legal as possible i see no problem in that.not everyone can afford the latest computer/games/dvds

Bottom line is that if people don't smarten up and go by the rules then soon Afterdawn will be after gone because of law suits and everything else... That's all this site needs is to get closed down because some bad eggs wanna make it sound like a pirate site
