Right, I've got two things today. First off, topics on the SR board. kamrad posted this on the board, talking about the Seaside 4 level, and the enemies therein. But because the SR 4.4 topic had been made a couple of hours before, me2 was complaining that it was a duplicate thread. I've locked it for now, to avoid people bickering, but the topic creator, kamrad, thinks it should be unlocked because it's talking specifically about a level and not the update. Should it be unlocked? Second, this post by disabled. I've told him he could get in trouble because it's basically posting code from the game, and he's arguing that it's legal because: No I didn't! Because of all you whiners that it would be illegal and whatever, I wrote a programm that uses the class file (not the source code) and extracts the data without decompiling it. More effort, same result, equally legal but noone can cry about it. Should he be punished for this?

Well, I don't think disabled should, but we'd have to see the code...

Kay, here's the post for all to see: Nice update, I think the level is good balanced, so every team gets an equal challenge. Green Gel Walker Lv: 24 LP: 300 GOLD: 40 EXP: 150 AT: 1-3 x1 Type: physical Duration: 0 RANGE: 150 Defense: 0 colors head: #ccff66 body: #669900 at: #ccff66 Silver Crystal v1: 3.3333333333333335%, Seaside 4: 10x @stage 1, 10x @stage 1, 30x @stage 3, 30x @stage 4, Green Roundhead Bat Lv: 24 LP: 200 GOLD: 40 EXP: 150 AT: 1-3 x2 Type: physical Duration: 0 RANGE: 80 Defense: 0 colors head: #ccff66 body: #669900 at: #ccff66 Silver Crystal v1: 3.3333333333333335%, Seaside 4: 20x @stage 2, 30x @stage 3, 30x @stage 4, Brown Star Stickman Lv: 25 LP: 400 GOLD: 80 EXP: 300 AT: 2-3 x9 Type: thunder Duration: 0 RANGE: 60 Defense: 0 colors head: #ffcc66 body: #ffffcc at: #ffcc33 Silver Crystal v2: 5.0%, Seaside 4: 5x @stage 1, 5x @stage 2, 5x @stage 3, 5x @stage 4, 20x @stage 5, Brown Boss Star Stickman Lv: 27 LP: 6000 GOLD: 900 EXP: 2000 AT: 30-50 x1 Type: thunder Duration: 0 RANGE: 40 Defense: 0 colors head: #ffcc66 body: #ffffcc at: #ffcc33 Seaside 4: 1x @stage 5, Those Star Stickman have thunder damage, so they penetrate your defense! Especially the Boss with his 30-50 at can cause severe damage, so don't let him come close and/or use a purple crystal. Other changes are the Purple Gel-Trees are now lv25 (24) drop 150 Gold (120) and give 800 exp (600). Grey Boss Roundhead Walker drops the Critical's Card v2, Grey Boss Roundhead Snake the Explosion's Card v2 and the Blue Boss Gel-Dragon drops the Bullet's Card v2. I'm thinking he just used the odd font to make people look at it, but it's still got stats that aren't visible in-game, such as drop-rates, range, attack and defence.

I don't really play Stick Ranger, so, I don't really know...

Okay...things like this constitute the reasons that I will be taking a computer science class soon.
I'm going to ask TheListo about this at the soonest possible moment he comes on. I think I might already know his answer, but I just want to make sure with him first...

I say just lock the thread and say it is under investigation.

Don't lock that thread, lock the duplicate one.

Taking the classfile CAN be illegal. Depends on the copyrights and how you take it. He says that because he decompiled it he is safe, Im not quite sure about that one.

Should we at least delete that post?

If that was stated in the terms and conditions, then what he did WAS illegal. It doesn't matter if listo says that he does not mind, That means nothing. It WAS illegal.

That wasn't in the terms and conditions. That was in the source code with all the .class files.
Notice, it specifically said "USE". He isn't actually using it, just viewing it and posting it.
That's the full file.

Technically, isn't posting it for research "using" the code?

He means changing it and re-hosting it...

Oh, ok i misunderstood. You found that in the source file? That is still of some concern...

I haven't even posted it for research. That was in the PG source code.
