There's an alarming vigilante/lynchmob mentality that's surfaced lately here that I feel may end up harming us all, as a commununity. Though well-intentioned and on the side of truth, law and justice, this small group of hotshot cowboys (who are actually arguing over "claimed kills" at this point) are failing to realize the full effect their recklessness could have.

We're all aware of stolen image/password trading sites and the harm they do our industry. I'm certain we can all agree that we're talking about fraudelent, illegal behavior. And I know how frustrating it must be to see one closed down and another two pop up to replace it. However, there are certain guidelines to follow and common sense has to be used when dealing with them.

Stirring up a hornets nest might be considered fun by some but it's not a welcome practice in the middle of a family picnic. It's one thing to bring these sites to the attention of the forum, it's a whole other ballgame when these boards are used to stage raids against other communities. And the bottom line is, I don't think the majority of us are ready to play that game.
