Those aren't the only things that fall under "discussion"destrukt said:
Several posters are telling us that they've DL-ed or are DL-ing warez, and Eraser said "On Torrent Sites Now" which is really all you need as for where to get it, you could just google "torrent" and find a site that has it.
And then you have a guy asking someone to PM him instructions on how to install said warez.
I've been at HL2.net for a while, and this sort of talk I know is looked down upon. Let's get a moderator's opinion.

haha, be realistic.
people aren't going to be banned for saying they're downloading something illegal, they may get a warning though i can't ever remember hearing of someone getting one, and people saying they're downloading something illegal isn't all that common anyway.
it's also on http/ftp servers, on usenet, on irc and a ton of other places though i bet maybe 2 ppl on here will be able to find it; and if someone doesn't know what a torrent is, i'm assuming they're computer illiterate and will have quite a fun time downloading it, than figuring out the difficult task of using iso's and so on.
yes, it's bad but be realistic about what's happening, those who would pirate it are going to, and those who are going to buy it are going to, though i'm sure there are 1 or 2 ppl in the middle who may be convinced to download it.
- i specifically put mention in italics.
- just report his post and in the box just say whether you're unsure if it's mod-intervention worthy or not than we'll just wait for one of the englightened ones to tell us what to do.

As long as I remember the good old HL2.net, we were allowed to say that we were downloading it. IIRC, no SCREENSHOTS. S-C-R-E-E-N-S-H-O-T-S. Also, no one is discussing it, I just said it's out. If people don't know where to get these things by now, they can get the **** off the intraweb.
