Hello,

Edit thank to PriorPtoject I discovered the modlog : https://sopuli.xyz/modlog?page=1&actionType=ModRemovePost&userId=1683334

I recently posted a tutorial to pirate on steamdeck which was removed.

I checked th rule and it doesn't appear to be forbidden are the rules out of date or did I miss a rule ?

I think it's important for posters to see from the side of mods. I'm not a mod here and speaking out of my butt so please take everything with a grain of salt.

I am a big advocate of hacking and doing slightly non-acceptable things out of curiosity.

But I'm also not interested in dealing with legal threats or being pulled into weird scenarios all because one person has a strong opinion about right & wrong.

When I face that issue, I instead encourage the poster/author to instead create a separate Convo somewhere else that is outside of the responsibility of the mod team. Like, I support your actions but I'm not going to stress over it. Because at the end of the day, I'm just trying to provide a space for the majority and have fun with the convos.

Hello, I can understand that. That why I ask for the reason to be able to understand since removing a post is not communicating.

Are you aware of the modlog? Post removals generally do have an explanation. There's a handy one in your case:

Discussion on how to pirate games is not allowed. We'll update the rules to be more transparent about this.
