Open petition to ban Madmax
As the topic title, this thread is to add your name to a petition to ban Madmax from csdb.
Madmax does nothing but steal other peoples work and claim credit for it. He contributes nothing worthwhile to CSDB or to the scene. He makes blatant lies, and posts retarded comments and threads.
Let me be petitioner #1. |

@SLC
yes, it's a release that should be in CSDb.
Your advantage is, that i'm not going to check your code to see if it's crap-code of mine.. C64 is a hobby, i'm not making money on this platform, so do your thing. Small chance i notice it; and when i do, i feel honored ;)
But i'll try to get the credits for it ofcourse, because it's unfair if you get the credits. But i'm NOT going to cry, make a drama, slap your face when i see you on X or wherever and beg everyone to kick you out of the scene or this site, like it's a matter of life and death. That's silly anno 2013.. and more silly if it's all about cracks. The developer/publisher/whatever of the stolen cracked game should laugh his balls out of his pents, when he reads a topic like this.
Plenty of other options to get the credits and let everyone believe you are stealing stuff.. comment on the release, show the original, add trivia/goofs/etc.. |

Could everyone of you right-minded freedom fighters just please check the facts first before you go off?
Hell, there's even a picture posted on this thread what it's about.
If you don't get it, here's an explanation:
- dude rips a 27-year old legendary crack intro from a legendary cracking group
- dude claims he originally programmed it for the legendary cracking group
And just because you feel that you'd be honored if somebody ripped your code, it doesn't mean that everyone else is. Or should. |

In my personal opinion if someone claims to have written something as well as having the cheek to modify bits of text etc regardless if it is code, music or graphics and uploaded it anywhere, they should be banned.
Where would the boundary be in regards to allowing this to happen. What if you get some individual who gets hold of any of the recent demo's for example, buts their text in the intro etc also risking bugging the whole production and keeps on uploading this stuff here as well as to other sites where individuals may not know of this person and perhaps even assume he/she did it? Should this be allowed?
I know the aim of CSDB is probably to preserve anything c64 related, but DEFINATELY not someone who has claimed credits for something they did not do.

I'm not starting anything here, but wouldn't it be easier to just delete the content that's not wanted?
Even if everyone DID vote to ban this Mad Max, what's stopping him from creating a new account and starting over, again and again? And likely each time with a vengeance, possibly destroying (deleting) content just to get back for the ban. Sounds childish, but so does a lot of the talk above this comment.
Sure, having CRAP uploaded here doesn't make sense, I've said that some years ago when datastorm was uploading screenshots. Didn't see the point of that (still don't really), but it's not my place, obviously. People feel they need to have a screenshot outside the game itself, so be it. I'm not the one who has to deal with storage of these files. I don't maintain them (unless corrupt, then I try to replace).
I too dislike seeing things up here that I feel "doesn't really belong", like PC apps for c64. If you can't run it on a c64, it shouldn't be here, period.

I didn't meant this specific release, dude. Just in general.. and regarding Fungus, the dude stole everything he has released. |

(someone posted after me, couldn't edit)
My point was. There are things A LOT of people don't like about this site and if I really, REALLY wanted to be an asshole, I could go on and mention obvious code rips. What's more ironic, is it's my code that being ripped, hahaha. For those who don't understand that, I've had a BAD history of ripping code.. Just so ironic when it happens to you. I haven't said anything about it though, don't really care anymore.
Anyway. Fungus. Man, it's not worth the aggravation your putting yourself through. Peace be with you, my FRIEND. May your awesomeness find it's way around Mad Max and continue to shine as it has throughout the many years.
Also. I see the point TPM is making. I think it would be easier to simply expose the rip, just as TPM explains a few posts up. |

Where is the boundary in all this however. Can it just be allowed to continue happening with hundreds of cracks/demo/releases gfx having logo's painted over or text modified and released?
Furthermore what about previous people who have been banned for something far less (or is it a rule in csdb that it is ok to rerelease identical falsely credits stuff but with text modified in demo/game/gfx etc)
Yes, there is a point in someone coming back with a vengeance and removing stuff from csdb (although there should really be the option of read-only access for other products not released by the person, until the person is validated in someway

I still second Fungus. It's still this problem: One dude is fucking things up pretty hard and everybody else should deal with it and expose and document (like "rescue" the rest of the world from fraud or smth.)
Like you all have nothing better to do maybe, I have!
This is really really really the reason I quitted my well paid job as a software development leader. People producing shit and no consequences. I had to deal with these fuckers, rescue the project, rescue lost data, repair broken customer systems and of course keep it under the carpet... And my boss? Not caring a shit, because I always fixed the shit in time.
I shouldn't! Not anymore, never again! Today I'm a free man again...
This world is suffering under this liberate shit ("libero-fag attitude", nice one, Scott). F**K, I'm already as pissed as Fungus :D |

This discussion is most amusing. Just like the rest of csdb was built on moral and honesty ;-) |
