after a long gnorc, I can finally post this

a lot of you are probably gonna call me an idiot for this, but I had NO idea that posting academy episodes on youtube was illegal. I know you probably are saying I obviously should have known, but I just got into the show before I got gnorced so I saw absolutely no one talking about it.

Seriously... C'mon! You were literally taking the work of hundreds of people and stripping them of their monetary gain by reuploading it on a platform where they don't get any of the money.

Like, how did this not set off a million red flags in your head!? THAT IS THE DEFINITION OF PIRACY!

Don't post links to illegal/pornographic material
It is completely inappropriate for a website based around a game such as Spyro the Dragon and Skylanders. Anyone who does so will be banned immediately. Asking for ROMs will get you a swift ban as well, discussion is allowed as long as you aren't boasting about the fact or providing a method for others to get them, no matter how cryptic.

You CAN say "hey, the episodes are up on youtube/illegal animu place". You can't direct people to them or be too specific. We know not everyone has the monies or the free trial for Netflix, but don't make it *easy* for the lazier fans.

A lot of children have been posting links to illegal uploads of Academy lately, and dark and the other moderators have been gnorcing those who post those links. Uploading the episodes on Youtube is just asking for copyright infringement, and watching them elsewhere besides Netflix will lower our chances for more seasons on Academy.

Also your gnorc wouldn't have been extended had you not used your old (now terminated) account to try and bypass your suspension for posting link(s) to illegal uploads.

I think the other users have explained it well enough.
