| Mar 30, 2016 at 10:50 | comment | added | Alex | Is this becoming a new dogma and people that really want to know or ask something will be "burned at the stake"? Seems like the history of Inquisition where if you even "DARED" to think something outside of norm you were imprisoned or tortured. It's like saying: Let's ban physics and chemistry as somebody could develop weapons or poisons. | |

| Aug 22, 2012 at 13:37 | comment | added | kluka | it seems that this community is very divided about this issue. The "allow the hacking/pirating!" comments are gettings as much points as the "don't censor" comments... | |

| Feb 23, 2012 at 0:36 | comment | added | Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' | ＠Arjan, ＠nhinkle, @slhck: there is no applicable SE-wide policy, so this is a community decision. The moderators do not have a binding vote here. Diago spoke here as a community member, just like Arjan. Hackintosh questions became banned because until you (Arjan) posted your answer, the consensus was against them. The policy would change if your answer rose to a significantly higher score that Diago's. | |
| Feb 23, 2012 at 0:19 | comment | added | Arjan | @slhck, I did delete this, but as I am not sure it's indeed a moderator decision, I've undeleted again. See the new comments at Diago's answer. (And this very answer might be deleted again; that's fine to me, if it's indeed an official decision.) | |
| Feb 23, 2012 at 0:17 | comment | added | Arjan | @nhinkle, please see the new comments at Diago's answer. Thanks! | |

| Jan 8, 2012 at 15:03 | comment | added | Arjan | @slhck, agreed. Will delete this soonish. | |
| Jan 8, 2012 at 14:58 | comment | added | slhck | @nhinkle If this is official policy, wouldn't it make sense to delete this answer? The current accepted answer doesn't look "official" in any way, considering that Diago stepped down as a moderator. If I were a visitor of this Q/A here, I'd find it highly confusing. | |
| Sep 20, 2011 at 15:32 | comment | added | DanBeale | @nhinkle - what US law is being broken by answering a question about "hackingtosh" installations? (Assume, for the moment, the asker has a legal unopened disc of the Mac OSX, not installed on any machine, and that the asker wants to install a single instance on one PC. (to avoid any "piracy" / torrent / etc distractions)) | |
| Apr 16, 2011 at 21:53 | comment | added | nhinkle Mod | as Diago answered quite some time ago, the moderation team has decided to discourage these questions. Furthermore, Stack Exchange is a US company, and is therefore beholden to US law. | |
