Make your own judgement, but it sounds to
Me as though he is defending them:

Tron's not. Some members of SB.com were advocating hacking them or other illegal activities. He clamped down on that as it puts Sb.com in a position where they could be sued. Under the law, they had to do that whether they like it or not.
Plus, it's always been the position of SB.com that they will not allow "invasions" to be planned in their forums. Members were also planning such an invasion.

Sounds to me like he's just trying to protect his site. *shrug*

Exactly. Some people on this board and on ASVS are a little to willing to condemn Spacebattles for nothing.

I did the same thing here. I'm not really worried about these WCOTC fanatics, but allowing people to plan hacking attacks on this board could create problems.

Tron seems to think by "attack", we mean something that's illegal, or at least that's how I see it. He could be just trying ot protect his board, fearing that the s at WCotC would hack it.
On another note: Did you see his post count? He does 60 posts a day, and has about 15 times as many posts as Bean!

There will no longer be any talk of illegal activiteis of this sort tolerated.
Yeah, I mean, that obviously translates too "NAZI'S RULE!! DOWN WITH THE MUD PEOPLE!!"
Slow day Faust?

I think he's just trying to prevent people from attacking other boards through their site. I don't think he's advocating racism. I just think he's kind of using a "don't ask, don't tell" policy, whereby other people are not supposed to use their site to attack others.

Actually, Tron inflated his post count during a particular thread with the likes of RocketGirl bragging about their post counts.

He's a school bus driver.

Actually, I suspect that Tron's post count is permanantly at the maximum - 2^16 -1, which gives 65535

Dude, its always been the policy of never allowing discussions of invasions, or even condoning it. Thats just covering their ass. Its been that way since the very beginning.

You're an idiot.
All Tron is saying is that discussion of, and the acting out, of hacking attacks on any website (no matter what) shall not be discussed on the board or the person/s involved will face the consequences.
But no, let's just use it as another excuse to bash Spacebattles... you fucking moron...

i do understand where they're coming from, though i DO think they went a little extreme in handling a few members of the SB.com forums... they should have banned the WCOTC trolls right off the bat when they started riling up the members. i for one got caught in that, i got nicely riled up and posted that i wanted some IPs and e-mail addys from the WCOTC idiot brigade so i could post them on some hacker newsgroups such as alt.2600, i never did specify that I would do it, just that i'd help something happen, though i never did it.

Why bother collecting IP addresses? If the hackers on said hacking groups are any good, it should be sufficient to just throw them a link to WCOTC and let them have at it.

Is that why they banned you? Yeesh.
And, for the record, SB bashing is fun.

He is not you assfuck. He doesn't want to get in trouble because of what members do.

Lies. He made that post count.

Protecting the site from getting into legal problems doesn't sound like defending wcotc to me.

actually the site could NOT get in trouble... i'm still sorely tempted to go and drop an anonomous tip on terrorist activities to the FBI in regards to glock and his merry band of neo-nazi fools, same goes for dropping a hint to the ACLU and some other nice little organizations which i don't really like, but could cause glock and his minions quite a bit of hell.
as for SB.com getting in trouble, there was no way WCOTC could touch the site admins/ISP unless a hacker attack or board invasion happened, and even then in court, who wins? nazis or geeks? that's a no brainer, and it ain't the nazis.

I seriously doubt THAT is why he got banned. I've made similar posts in the past, and I never got touched. If anything, it was for the...detailed posts me made.
(not that I blame him. I would've done the same had I been there when the moron posted.)
