Sure,
there are lots of threads about XDCC that generally state that we don't help with filesharing.
And of course people are allowed to discuss stuff, this is a very "free reign" forum and threads are only locked/deleted after they've gone completely off-topic or have deteriorated into a flame war, the moderators here are not suppresive at all.
However, using those links you will see that the matter has been discussed before, and see that a lot of people (myself included) feel strongly about it. You can of course start your own thread in the General Discussions forum, but the chances are a couple of people will agree the rule is stupid, then 5+ people disagree and a flame war will start, and the thread will be locked....
But what IS unacceptable is when someone who tries to help uphold the rules of the forum and make the person asking the question aware of the dangers of file trading, gets jumped on and told that they are wrong and that they will help regardless of what the rules are, more flame wars and (boring) discussions about the issue get started.
By the way, if those links don't suffice, use the
Search feature.
Finally I would like to point out the original poster has accepted the answer and been thankful...I don't see where the problem is or why this thread need go on discussing an issue which has been rehashed many times before, and no change to the rules have been made, nor are likely to.
Regards,
