Whether this is real or not, the FAQ should stay up. The only time an FAQ should be removed is if its quality is deemed to be exceptionally poor. Like, if the I formation present in the FAQ is patently false, or if it's conveyed so poorly that most human beings wouldn't be able to parse it in a legible way.
If the FAQ is good, leave it up. He can go and bark up some fundie lawyer's asshole if he wants it removed, because there's no way in hell that an online game guide is going to be removed on the grounds of religious freedom. --- So you don't get to be a saint, martyrs never last this long Now Playing: Skyrim, Final Fantasy X-2 ...

Despite the ToS. i say yeah, Its a reasonable request and its objectively the right thing to do on Gamefaqs behalf as a personal goodwill gesture. Its not like he is asking for a portion of the profits of the clicks or anything
This site was successful because of peoples contributions and the community the developed from it. Its the least they can do and no one really uses FAQs anyways. lol at these idiots being spiteful for no reason saying his request should be denied.

I was under the impression that authors could remove their guides at anytime, unless it was used to claim a bounty. Then you essentially sold your work to gamefaqs for whatever bounty they paid you. Is that not right?

Unless the author agrees to make it an official "GameFAQs guide", which is done only under FAQ Bounty circumstances, then the author still retains ownership of their work and can ask it to be removed at any time.

I dont see why. I am of the Christian religion and am fine with persona. I don't believe god banned video games at all. That is the person's choice I guess, to feel bad over it. I'm sure that assuming he's a good Christian god will forgive him for this faq

I can't say for sure if this is the case for the P2 walkthrough. It says in the guide on the 2nd page that he submitted the FAQ under the Bounty Program. So that is indeed the case. I've never played the Persona games so it doesn't really affect me but I'd understand if they didn't want to remove it seeing as they paid money for it. But if they grant his request I would understand too. Dude doesn't want his name attached to it or the game anymore (despite however ridiculous I think his reasons are) and this doesn't happen often (that I'm aware of). Is there a way to remove his name from the guide? Maybe just assign it to Allen or something and remove all mention of the original author? That way the guide stays up and his name isn't attached in any way anymore. --- https://imgur.com/TFF3Nn8 Joe Burrow, the legend ... Copied to Clipboard!

It says in the guide on the 2nd page that he submitted the FAQ under the Bounty Program. So that is indeed the case.Then the only party that can remove it from the site is GameFAQs, and if he purposely sabotages his guide so that it's unusable, then that's where GameFAQs will have cause to remove it for lack of quality. Or maaaaaybe get into some litigation? Still, it's such a small amount that it probably won't be worth CBSI's time to pursue and they'll just drop the guide. The site will no doubt refuse to accept guides from him again, though. --- CyricZ ... Copied to Clipboard!

It's funny. In the "lower than 500" category, the author can sabotage the guide all they want. In the "higher than 500" category, if the author tried that, they wouldn't have ownership of their guide, so GameFAQs can just refuse to accept the update and leave it as is.

I actually dont think this is funny at all. Well I meant "funny" in a "peculiar" sense, not funny "ha ha". As I've stated, it's odd that GameFAQs would settle for a situation where the author couldn't ask for the guide to be removed yet could still sabotage it. (Bounty guide under $500) I guess they figured no one would actually do it. Could result in some policy shifts down the line. EDIT: I should point out that the author hasn't actually sabotaged the guide to the point of it not being usable. You can use the "Next Page" function to move between the sections of the guide. It's just that the links in the Table of Contents are now broken (something I've yet to figure out how was done). --- CyricZ ... Copied to Clipboard!
