Pirate Sites
So members don't inadvertently put up a link to a pirate site (like yours truly did recently), is it possible to have a list of undesirables onsite for us to refer to?
This is assuming publishing such a name-and-shame list wouldn't leave this forum open to possible legal action.

Think carefully about what you just said
You want a list of all of the pirate sites out there, so you can avoid them, and for others also to use. This is the opposite of what we are trying to prevent, that these sites get hits, increase their popularity in search engine rankings, etc, etc. If you have a question about a site, ask me or any of the moderators here on the forum, and we will be happy guide you to the light, and away from the dark side Rick

...and just thought: is it best to ask moderators about these sits on open forum or via PM?

via PM
I remember my first model I posted that got the beat-down for coming from a pirate site. I have also seen other posts where folks pounce on the poor new guy that accidentally posted a model from a less-than-legitimate source. Piracy is a huge issue and needs to be treated as such. On the other hand, we need to not pounce on new guys. Make no judgments without compassion. I wonder how many folks have just gone away after they posted a model that they downloaded in error and got pummeled. And sometimes not pummeled, but when they are making some of their first posts, they can be a little sensitive. We need to be sensitive, too. On the other hand, there are some on the forum that knowingly feed the pirate sites after many communications. They need to be dealt with more firmly. Yes, it is a touchy issue

PM. If you do it on open forum your are posting a probable pirate site. Unless you know for sure it is not.

Yes to all of the above, just send myself or the moderators a private message, and we will go out and check the site, and give you a reply with our decision.
I have seen pirate sites come, and i have seen them go, through education, and a reminder of the saying, if it seems too good to be true, it probably is, we can in our own small way get rid of piracy, yes it might take time, months or year, and it has taken that long since the advent of the internet, but we can make a difference, and in some cases, have made a difference.
