Place your bets here.. How long before this post gets removed ?
5 to 4 Favourite .. within 6 hours

On a serious note . People are posting requests for illegal copies of copyrighted warez and or serial numbers.
The statuatory answer of goto Ebuyer is a waist of time as we all know people hunting for freebee copies have absolutely no intention of paying for it.
So my suggestion is .. why not move these people onto a site where they can find what they are after ?
OK - before anyone replies with "Piracy is imoral / illegal etc etc so why should they be given any assistance in illegal activity ?" .. my answer would be "well youll keep getting unwanted/unwelcome posts where people hope they'll get a reply before a moderator removes the posts".
How about a sticky topic reiterating NO POSTS FOR COPYRIGHT PROGS/SERIALS ..
Goto website www.xyz if your looking for this stuff as your not welcome here.
At least then the forum wont get cluttered with naughty requests followed by loads of replies flaming them for doing the forbidden .
People asking for serials are obviously web newbies who dont know where to look and somehow they are ending up here .. why not save them time and yourselves grief by providing one or two links to "security" sites. I'm sure this would massively reduce the age old problem of people asking for requests that Oldversion are not happy to give.
