Judas The Priest

It appears sadly that the mods may have changed since then or they have been further advised. As for my official complaint about the ban to the official steam complaints dept all my time spent gleaning info from you guys and time spent researching the forums was wasted by a simple message saying: 'The ban was implemented correctly' I replied in disgust suggesting that maybe Steam members mentioning cars should be banned also because they can be driven by those over the legal alcohol limit. I was wasting my time all along you won't be surprised to read. Thanks anyway guys you have been great ? Now it's time to enjoy LB ?

That user I pointed out was banned for mentioning LB and I am the next person. My post a little later was deleted ?

This is not me as my post was deleted but it was this thread I posted in and how I actually heard about LB in the first place. This is just another poor geezer who was banned for simply mentioning LB: https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/0/1762481957309245452/?ctp=8#c1762481957316895439

Thanks guys. That all makes sense and I agree with all that has been said and I take in the advice and info very gratefully. The shame of it is that I have all the info I now need to go back and add to my ban complaint but when you (Lordmonkus) say it's up to them what they choose to ban people for it basically defuses my whole 'argument' as clearly facts are a waste of time to them as they are a single entity which doesn't hold recourse to anyone but themselves and that is what gets me the most. The absolute power these people hold without any requirement to make decisions based on facts. I will add that if I were the developers of LB I would be very annoyed indeed this software is being viewed in this way by these people. Thanks guys. anymore posts would be very welcomed too ?

Hello everyone this is my first post and while the thread title may look ominous it is not at all. I just have a few questions ? I'm sorry this has to be my first post but I am rather annoyed and I need some answers please. Having just found out about Launchbox and am enjoying the experience so far but something sinister has happened lately. I mentioned Launchbox on the Steam Community forums quite innocuously within a thread simply because the thread contents sort of dictated I mentioned it and I wanted to let other know of the software I had just found, and that it may be useful for others. Within that post I also copied and pasted the list of uses as described on the website page. A hour later I was banned Quote: Ban Reason: "Any discussion of piracy is not allowed. Normaly this is a permanent ban, so I suggest not doing it again." Now I was amazed and continued on to Steam support to contest this 1 month ban. I am using Launchware for my non DRM/ non Platform games and that is it. I have no idea about Roms and from what I have read they can be illegal and LB can launch them. That is none of my business as this software as far as I know fully legit and what users do with it is their business. I also believe the developers of LB would never advocate the use of illegal Roms. Now the above may or may be all naieve and illinformed but it is what I believe to be the case. Steam or the petty minded devs are apparently treating this software as 'talking about piracy' and my post was deemed to break Steam rules because I mentioned the name and also the uses. No as I say I have no idea about roms other than what I have read and apparently the mention on the Steam forums is also included in their banned list of things that can and can't be mentioned. Are there such thing as legal Roms as I say I don't believe LB to be used only for the illegal type or am I wrong? I'll stop there because I think I ought to being rather naíve about the whole business. Is Steam out of order for forum banning me. Can anyone tell me why they see LB as a threat enough to ban people for mentioning it ? Thanks for any replies and apologies if somehow this contravenes the rulse of this forums as franky I'm getting rather fed up with Steam and their petty mindededness. Of course I've replied to the 'unamed mod' who banned me but of course they don not care a damn whether their actions were misguided, or not. Can someone please explain why this is the case and if Steam somehow has a case. I'm just confused and annoyed at this whole silly affair. Any information to assist my clear lack of knowledge would be gratefully received. Please forgive me if this is out of order in any way. Thanks - Rob
