Are purchases more or less instant or do you have to wait for them to be approved manually before you get a product code? I ask because I am thinking of getting New Street if it becomes popular for games[sub].[/sub] intend to try to hack the payments system but want to see if it's worthwhile for no particular reason.

The post below was made in response to a question as to whether the purchase of licenses from the shop was instant or took time to come through.

More or less instant.

My OP has disappeared (and for no plausible reason at that, there were no naughty pictures or anything :D). Twilight Zone!

Are you serious?

:doh

I feel like the guy who "they" tried to do for threatening to blow up Doncaster airport. Actually worse, at least in that case people have had twenty years to see that airport security has no sense of humour. You didn't even edit the post so that this post made sense, you just removed it.

For those wondering what the content of the post was, paraphrased it was:

"Are purchases instant? I ask because tI am going o buy Birmingham New Street. I am going to hack The Server no reason."

The only statement striked through that I was at all serious about, as would be obvious to ANYONE, and I don't believe otherwise, is that I was planning on buying Birmingham New Street. Actually the major reason I haven't bought any Simsig product yet is the licence agreement which is frankly unique for a consumer product in its terms. I'm not some sort of open source fanatic, but being required to delete things whenever and after a certain period regardless, it basically means I have to completely trust you guys.

But I was still quite seriously going to buy New Street. Still might, actually, even ignoring this, because you are the only realistic choice.

But moderation like this hardly helps inspire confidence.

Then why write it in the first place?

If we're talking about inspiring confidence, think about how your "joking/not serious" comment inspires confidence in those that read it.

Neither the Forum Rules nor the Code of Conduct seem to cover this sort of situation. For the sake of future posters, could we please have a formal statement of what is "unnecessary information / potential fraudulent use" and by extension what will fall foul of humourless moderation.

For the record, that paraphrase is not an accurate representation of the deleted original.

I sincerely apologise. A kind moderator has provided me with the original text and I actually said that I was going to hack the payment system so I wouldn't have to pay, rather than as I implied, hack the server so that I wouldn't have to pay. Frankly, I might as well have claimed that my original post was in German or that I have never once inserted a finger up my left nostril, picked out a juicy bogey, and consumed with gusto.

Please do accept what I again reiterate is a completely sincere apology for my henious misdeed.
