Yeah bover got demodded because he had actually used an account he stole to become a mod.

Admins sure tried their hardest to ignore that situation though, holy shit.

When the information about that made it to the administration they reviewed it and then demodded him and closed the account he stole. I don't see how you can say they tried to ignore it. The site can't have someone who stole an account be a mod for quite obvious reasons.

I sure as shit wish he didn't do it though as he was good at the actual modding part. =P

There was a mod on the LoL boards that did something controversial. My memory is a little fuzzy on the subject.

That's the one I'm talking about with the usermap stuff.

@A_Good_Boy posted...

It was baseman. And not because he was saying racist shit (like come on, Addy didn't get demodded for that either), it was because he was making a spectacle out of it.

Baseman posted something racist, he was told that it was not acceptable. His response to being told that is why he was demodded.

I remember a few years ago there was so no-name mod that got buttflustered in an argument and started using private info to try to win. Someone linked the topic that they were doing it on to CE and they got demodded within a few hours. Then he came over here and made a public apology for being such a nerd.

That was a newbie in like their week or so I believe? The absolute best part is that he didn't even read the page right and gave incorrect info anyway. The attempt to post usermap info, even if done wrong, was more than enough to get instantly booted from the team though.

I'm 75% done with my loan on this sucker though. No interest through Ford's credit... Just a 16 months or so to go. Hope the car doesn't fucking start falling apart because it's gonna be nice to not have that car payment anymore. It's gonna be out of the extended warranty in a few months too. Which I only needed once... so far.

I will probably avoid buying BRAND new moving forward. Get some low mileage used car like everyone recommended I do. =P

But don't give up, no don't give up.

I believe that since the writers own the copyrights and not GameFAQs there would be little legally that GameFAQs could do.

Hmm, actually I found a help page about this

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/help/29-copyrights-trademarks-and-plagiarism

I FOUND A WEB SITE USING MY GUIDE WITHOUT PERMISSION. WHAT SHOULD I DO?
Unfortunately, there are several web sites out there that browse through GameFAQs, take guides, and post them on their site without asking permission from the original authors. What they may fail to realize is that the FAQs are owned by their authors, and international copyright law does apply to each of them.

Now, keep in mind that GameFAQs has no legal authority to stop this activity. Only the original author of a FAQ can take action against copyright infringement.

We are not lawyers and cannot give you legal advice, but we do, however, recommend that you take the following tried and true steps when something like this occurs:

Keep a level head. This may be an accident or a mistake, or the web site may honestly not be aware of your rights in this matter. Many gaming sites are run by people who have no experience in any kind of legal issues, and they might not understand why you're upset. If you do want to make an announcement on a message board or other public forum to let others who may be in a similar situation know about it, be civil, and do not stoop to name-calling or threats.
Send the administrator of the site in question an e-mail politely demanding immediate removal of your work. Do not make any legal threats or personal insults; simply state the facts of the matter, and nothing more. Here is an example letter you are free to use, although the tone may be more harsh than you want to be:

To the editor/owner of (insert site name here):

It has come to my attention that you are hosting an unauthorized copy of my copyrighted work on your web site, located at this URL:

(insert URL of copied work here)

I am the legally recognized author of this file, and I have not granted your site permission to use my work in this manner. This is a violation of copyright, as well as my rights to control my own work. Although I have allowed my guide to be viewed for free, this does not mean that I am allowing it to be re-published without my permission. While you may not have been aware of this situation previously, you do appear to be the responsible party in this matter, and I am asking that you rectify the situation as soon as possible.

This is my demand that you remove my work from the location stated above, and any other locations under your control where my work might be found. Please ensure the removal my work from your site within the next 2 business days, and reply to this e-mail upon the removal of my guide.
If the person in charge of the web site refuses to respond or to take down your work, you can then use a much-hated but very useful law to help yourself: The Digital Millennium Copyright Act, also known as the DMCA. A typical notification will consist of a faxed or mailed statement consisting of the following:
an electronic or physical signature of the owner of the copyright (or a person authorized to act on the owner's behalf)
a description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed and a description of the infringing activity
identification of the location where the original or an authorized copy of the copyrighted work exists (the URL)
identification of the URL or other specific location on this site where the material that you claim is infringing is located
your name, address, telephone number, and email address
a statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law
a statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information in your Notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf
At this point, if both the web site operators and their host refuse to remove your work, it is in your best interests to speak with a lawyer that specializes in this sort of thing. Once a company ignores a DMCA notice, they also share responsibility for the copyright infringement, and can become a party to any legal action you choose to take.

Aspect ratio on my tires are 45s, which I don't think are too bad. I just avoid potholes, etc. when I can to help prevent damaging the rim. There's enough tire on it to make the ride comfy in most circumstances.

Mine are 235 45R18 which has like three models, where the cheapest are these Eagle LS-2s which seem pretty garbage tbh but fuck spending the $180-200 a tire that the next model price costs. Probably should just bite the bullet with some better ones but meh. >_>

The user was already suspended an hour ago for posts he made in that topic?

And whoever actioned it figured the topic itself was fine despite being clear in intent from the start?

I imagine that's why the topic was locked since the major violations happened further into the topic. I'm not seeing anything wrong here. User posted garbage further in the topic, user got suspended for said garbage, topic where the TC branched into total garbage was locked.

https://www.polygon.com/2018/1/18/16906036/youtube-monetization-small-creators-top-creators-changes

This is a major departure from the programs previous policy, which only required channels to have 10,000 lifetime views. In a blog post, YouTube executives acknowledged that life would change for a significant number of channels under the new setup. The company attempted to defend its decision by noting that 99 percent of those affected were making less than $100 per year in the last year, with 90 percent earning less than $2.50 in the last month.

Damn, I must be doing some good numbers for as low of a sub count that I got.

Youtube is really paving the way for another video hosting service that actually does pay its content creators for their contributions. There are only a small number of videos now that qualify for monetization, and this will be youtube's downfall.

I doubt it. The mass of people who visit YouTube on the daily is how it can pull these numbers in the first place. I can't see any company taking YouTube's place at this point.

Yep. It sucks because if this happened in 2019 instead of 2018 I'd probably have the subs. The new requirement to stay monetized is a total watch time of 4,000 hours in the past 12 months and a minimum of 1,000 subscribers. I have 800 subs exact, and 16,534 hours of total watch time.

Fuck I'm 4 times the watch time requirement.
