[META] Rules About Private Servers ?

META] Rules about private servers ?

New here, first, I just want to compliment you guys about your CSS. It is amazing.

I have a question to ask about private servers, so I checked the rule if it was allowed, and it says "Links and information about private servers" aren''t allowed. Is this just server advertising? Or are all types of discussion about them not allowed?

This post can be removed if necessary. I won''t be complaining, since I knew that this post could be controversial when it was written.

These rules were changed recently.

You can discuss them, but they cannot be named or linked to. I believe it is also against the law to encourage others to use them.

Since when are we allowed to discuss illegal activity? Grn online Private servers may be running stolen code which is illegal in the United States. Not just "Blizzard doesn''t allow it," but "the United States government doesn''t allow it." You can be sued for running a private server, and you could technically be sued for playing on one, too, if Blizzard felt so inclined. Why are we allowing this scum to exist?
