I have a forum now set up (and I'm pretty sure others here do as well), and I just wanted to know what do I do if I encounter a possible warez user on the forum? If someone mentions that have 6.20.2 Pro (or 6.22 Pro) and it has the same symptoms as that warez version, what do I do here? Of course, I'd lock the thread for that part, but what about the legal-related part? Do I post a new thread here to point to this thread? Do I send an email to someone at Conitec (if so, who?). I'm just wondering about it as there is a chance one such user could do that.

If I were you Uli, I'd not only lock the thread, but also ban the warez user, but I'll leave the rest up to Conitec.

Yeah, I forgot about the banning part. My main intent of this thread is to ask how to alert Conitec of it. It's not their forum, but it's a user using an illegal copy of Gamestudio (warez) and would be something Gamestudio's staff would look into, but how do I go about alerting them.

I can't send a PM to JCL - he/she doesn't accept them. I tried doing this once when I encountered a potential warez user a long time ago (during the early days of 6.31, if I recall correctly). Doug I don't know about.

Notifying the moderators from these forums won't work. They'll see that the post I use it for is legitamate and otherwise meaningless. What I'm referring to is not a warez user posting here on these forums, but on an external forum, like mine that otherwise has a completely different domain than here (ulillillia.us instead of coniserver.net). Here's an example situation to help explain.
Someone goes to my forums on my website. They register and sign up without any trouble. They then post on my forums why they aren't able to build and they happen to have 6.20.2 Pro. Seeing that this strongly matches that of warez users here, I'd first lock the thread then ban the user. The main thing (and the point of my post here) is what do I do to alert Conitec about the warez user?

I send an e-mail with a copy of the post(s) ( with registered user information) or e-mail(s) ( make sure get the header off the e-mail as well) to this address: contact@conitec.netThat usualy all end up needing to do. On your website/boards. never use your own ISP email address as a contact address btw. use one from another e-mail service. in fact never give out your own ISP account e-mail address, always use an alternate one(s) for e-mail.

I'll look into this method. That's only if I do get such a case. I'd like Conitec's answer though, just to be safe.

This part doesn't apply to me because I don't have one. I'm using the e-mail from my webhost, however.
