Okay, I had been lenient on crack mentions, if it was legitimate (bad) news, and was posted as such. I have always been against anything linking to cracks or crack info and have deleted user accounts because of it. Personal testimonials have also always been deleted and users warned or banned.
I have rethought my stand on that. Anything that's bad for the industry is bad for all of us. Things can move too quickly sometimes and any news that mentions something had been cracked blossoms into a whole thread with crack talk, testimonials, how-to's, and links. THAT IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE.
The very mention of crack in a thread topic will perk our eyes and ears here and you better have something legitimate to say or your thread will be deleted and you have risk of banning or account deletion. Period.
By posting knowledge of something being cracked, even if only breaking legitimate bad news, it does nothing but add another avenue for a plethora of Googlers to rip manufacturer's and us, as studio owners and legitimate business people, off and devalue the services and products we all provide.
From this point on, leave it alone.
