First and foremost... split this from magochocobo's battle scenes in order to keep his thread nice and tidy.
2nd. We never, EVER help pirates out. If you're smart enough to download it illegally, you better be smart enough to keep your mouth shut... because...
Thirdly, the old "warez user" status has been reimplemented, albeit with a new and hopefully more obvious twist to it. In addition to the avatar a new "pirate" moniker is also given. These pirates will be allowed to continue socializing with everyone, however, it is our hopes that the huge ass avatar will act like a sort of Scarlet Letter and repulse people from helping them with their broken, illegal game.
If said pirate continues to seek help for his game, thus crowding the forum with useless repetitive posts the warning system/bans will be used.
There will be no grandfather clause to this. I can think of at least 2 other people off the top of my head that don't have the game through legal means... they are safe unless they once again make it apparent they're pirates.
