While I certainly understand not wanting to shred fifty bux on a new rule book or something of the sort, what should the policy be on rapidshare dumps of these? Seems a bit off for a worksafe board, certainly, and is copyrighted material in the US and Europe, at least, unlike certain Japanese content.

Right now I delete these dumps or request for dump threads since they are illegal. It's more widespread now, so any input on this?

Seems like deleting it now would be a good policy, since /tg/ is new (and I'm assuming that's what you're talking about). The users aren't used to being able to post them yet, so they won't revolt if it's deleted. Hopefully. Any input from the higher-ups?
>>
i have been deleting requests and banrequesting people who post links to stuff like this, provided i can find it on amazon, and i haven't gotten any heat for doing so. i don't know if that extends to /tg/ but chances are the same rule applies.
>>
Alrighty then. Just hoping I wasn't overstepping boundaries or something of that nature.

Cheers!

/co/'s allowed to post comic links in preexisting threads, just not make threads dedicated to requests. I don' see why /tg/ should have different rules..

The only reason /co/ gets a pass is that the mods already told them for some reason that it's OK to post comics, and when janitors started deleting them /co/ utterly rioted until moot came down from the heavens and gave them back their free comics. It's too late to go back on it, etc... doesn't mean posting illegal materials on other boards should be okay.

/co/ gets to post comics links because the comic industry has gone on record they aren't going to use legal action against people who share comics online. this is obviously different with the /mu/ and the RIAA and such. I'm going to assume that book publishers like to use lawyers on people, and that is the reason why books aren't allowed on /tg/.

>>1001
so should we start letting requests for comics in /r/ stay? i've been deleting requests and banrequesting anyone who posts links to comics.
>>
>>1002

No. The policy is only in place in /co/ and requests aren't allowed at all for licensed materials. users are only allowed to post them if they have it.
