hey everyone. i was wondering what type of control is used for improper posts?. recently i posted on the new sp2 for xp and about how it tries to stop piracy. i had posted a website address and cd key on there as a test. after some time today i decided to remove it myself. should someone be notified if an improper post occurs?. should there be a list of things not to post. and if infringed a punishment occur?. just an honest question. if you had time to read the post i said i have a pirated copy of windows where infact i don't. i found the key on a website when i typed in "xppro key" on astalavista and bam it came up. should my post have been totally removed?.

My Bad, Nice to see someone listening

Also there is a "report post" button displayed with every post so if a reader sees something that shouldn't be posted they can report it to all moderators with the click of one button :D

I actually had a look at your link and decided it could stay...

Though it was on the line so to say...
