Member!
If a moderator wants to edit this post, I simply ask two things.
*They read this post entirely.
* Justify as to why exactly the rule is in place.. when all hacks discussed on this board are morally wrong not just SCU. And I dont mean a short 2 sentence justification, at least two paragraphs worth. "It's against the rules, thats final" doesn't calm people down, neither does "Because we said so"
Thank you!
I'm not disobeying the rules... I'm encouraging members to stop supporting the rules.... and not neccesarly for them to disobey the rules either... but rather not respect the rules in question.
If the members let the mods make inconsistant rules.... then the mods will feel free to make more inconsistant rules.... and before you know it.... one game forum has more advantages to the other.
I love battle forums, but I expect each forum to conform to one standard... so its fair to all the games, and they aren't doing that
In closing, I don't understand why they're so anal towards SCU. A hacks a hack.
* Map hacking is wrong
* Stack hacking is wrong
* Mineral hacking ~was~ wrong
* Drop hacking is wrong, stealing maps is wrong, spoofing another player to say "im a queer" is just cruel
* Stealing the CD keys of people who paid their hard earned cash and then posting them here is wrong
* Using the ladder bot is wrong because it destroys the whole purpose of the ladder. The ladder was built so people could play others with a simular skill level (aka rating) and that has destroyed it.
* Stealing the map someone made is wrong, just like the points mentioned aboved. It's no more or less wrong then the above. In fact, it doesn't affect anyone but the author of the map, therefore I'd say the "drop hack" causes more damage then SCU
The difference is, SCU can help people learn... so it can have a postive use.... and yet... map hacking and the others have NO good use whatsoever other than to ruin the game and give an unfair advantage. So why they picked SCU is simply beyond any logic I can make out of the matter
I dearly hope someone see's my logic. I know archn does.... why don't the rest of you? I mean if the moderators are filtering out whats right and wrong morally... then they might as well remove the hacking forum altogeather, because... all the starcraft hacks are wrong.... morally AND in the court of law
I personally don't think my post here today is a flame at all, but yet, a search for information. Information as to why if we must jump into morals of others work... why we don't jump into the morals of people cheating and destroying the game as well.
Can you tell me that map hacking is any better then stealing a map? Giving someone the ability to know exactly what strategy their opponents going to do, by looking at the buildings they've made and/or the units they've made.
Seems like map hacking ruins the purpose of a "Real Time Strategy" much more then a map unprotector ever could hope to do.

If too many rules cator to another game.... then many people won't stay here, cause nobody wants to go to a place where all hacks are forbidden for a certain game.
Starcraft doesn't have an advertising section. It would be a waste of time for him to post in the general advertising section, nobody whos interested in websites geared towards starcraft hacks goes there. They always come here
