...intending to share a daily news digest with others in deadchat. this link points to a file my system autogenerates each day... a news harvester. i was posting a link to a daily news digest.


dialog with zdashe follows-

Moderator PM from ZDashe: Hey, what link were you trying to send in dchat?
Moderator PM from ZDashe: not gonna reply me?

PM to ZDashe: oh, it was a daily news harvest
Moderator PM from ZDashe: seriously?

PM to ZDashe: what's wrong?
Moderator PM from ZDashe: Now i feel insulted
PM to ZDashe: i don't understand. sorry, didn't mean to offend.
Moderator PM from ZDashe: you really think I'm gonna buy your reasoning that it's a news link eh?

Moderator PM from ZDashe: https://www.youtube.com/redirect?q=http ... k1MjYyNDMx

PM to ZDashe: it isn't anything other than that.
PM to ZDashe: i understand your suspiciousness. do you have a VM machine?
PM to ZDashe: it is, honestly, just a bunch of news
PM to ZDashe: wait. why did you feel insulted?
Moderator PM from ZDashe: well, clearly you're insulting me by thinking that I'll accept your reasoning that it's a news link when it's clearly a redirect link
PM to ZDashe: wait, if it is a redirect lnik to a news collection, doesn't it count as a news link?

i understand that suspician may apply, however, i have not lied. it is a link to a news digest. i have played on colonial marines for several years now. colonial marines is great. please unban me.

This link appears on my youtube page, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3m470 ... kDrOnHjiOg, which i right-click copied it from. I do not regularly, but I usually, update the News link there. I updated it tonight, just before sharing the link. I will leave the link un-updated for the next week, i guess.

You were posting links to one-storage, which basically makes people download a file from that site. Also, I have already flagged your ban to be lifted. Next time do NOT post suspicious links that makes people download a file to check the "news". It's awfully suspicious and malicious to do so.

Your ban is pending removal from higher staff once we verify everything is ok.

[apophis775]

Don't post shit like that in the future.

I wouldn't have authorized a lift of the ban myself because shit looks super shady.

[ZDashe]

Alright, the file do not appear to contain malicious code. While your intent to spread knowledge about political events and the "truth" is good, please refrain from doing that using our platform. You have to understand how easy your method of "sharing" can be exploited, and with the recent DOS attacks on our server, I had to exercise extra caution with regards to that.

As long as you agree not to post links of a similar nature in future, I'm in favor of having your ban lifted.

ok, thanks, no problem. i won't post links to news digests. was, honestly, just the news. thanks again.
