Simkate5,
This account has been perma banned from this site for violating our Terms of Service. Your Sim Page was promoting Pirates Booty which is considered "Adult Content".

Also, as a secondary issue, your Sim Page contained numerous uploads that can only be found on paid/donation Web sites.

Thanks for your cooperation,
-The Sims Web Team)

well, the booty does have adult content available, BUT haven't they conducted several interviews with paysite owners quite recently?

I really don't know what to say.

Hmm. Did you credit the original creators, i.e. Peggy, TSR etc.?

Because, I have understood that sharing stuff should be ok if you credit the original creators.

Which SimMaster was this message from?

Ah! I see the problem. I, myself, if you can believe it, have gotten reprimanded for a similar infraction. Your mistake was LABELING the items as Donation files from TSR. If you just put them on, or even put links to the Booty, you would not have drawn attention to yourself. Blame TSR or their toadies for this.

P.S. Also, they might have had problems with the word "Booty," as some people are so ignorant they only know definitions of words from viewing rap videos.

ROFL Lasciel!  That was almost like having a convo with my husband.

They should always look into things (site in this case) before banning people instead of being ignorant of what you meant by "Pirate's Booty".  That's not good with a mod, or an admin.

What?  Does your husband say regularly:

charlie alpha lima alpha lima india lima yankee romeo oscar charlie kilo sierra

Smart man that.  Well he'd be right, wouldn't he?  

[AW]

That's exactly what he says!  *wonders how she knows*

[Peasant]

To the OP:  Are you still able to sign Sim Master's books if you've been perma banned?  Perhaps you can camly explain that there are more versions of the word 'booty' and your version doesn't mean Johnny Depp's or Orlando Bloom's.

Becuse, you know, you have to keep in mind the Wizard's First Rule (Terry Goodkind) which is: People are stupid.

[Hecubus]

We actually knew that EA legal would have them start taking our links down because of the adult content. I'm just surprised they banned you rather than giving you a warning. But...whatever.
