The xappers are coming

[HeyCori]

It seems we've become a hotbed for XAP download and installation discussion. I've seen several different threads for today. I believe this one is the latest in an ever growing list. Windows Phone Hub.In is apparently a popular XAP download site. I've given out a few infraction for people linking to that site. It seems most people are skirting the rules by only posting the instructions, but as the problem continues to grow should we prepare some guidelines for what to do about these threads?

I just got one now.

Here is what I would like to see done.

Just delete the thread and hand out ONE warning to people posting links to downloads or download websites. Just ONE warning then hit them with the big infraction for posting illegal or hacked software.

 

[HeyCori]

But the infraction is for if they do it again, right?

 

[eric12341]

Yup, exactly.

 

[Dave Blake]

Exactly, One warning second time it's ByBy forever.

 

[Muessig]

Consider it done.

Here's a different type of copyright issue. My man straight up stole the entire game and then uploaded it to the actual Windows Phone store. Is there anything we can do since MS foolishly approved the app?

I also decided to be kind and alert the developers about their game getting ripped off.

He is running it as a beta so Microsoft never even looked at it. All we can do is keep it off our forum. I did go into the store and report it that might get it pulled. That is if enough people report it.
