LYN has very good reason to be strict on the issue of piracy, because they will get into serious trouble if the authorities catch wind of people using the forums to sell pirated software.

Contrary to popular assumption, public forums are not democracies, and do not guarantee you any rights to use it. The site owners, staff and mods aren't obliged to answer to you or provide any reason for actions taken on you, and if they do its a courtesy.

Frankly, my take is that if you want to use any free forums, you play by their rules or gtfo.

Arguing, railing and whining is childish and won't get you anywhere.

Remember, "when in Rome, do as the Romans do."
