Ok, we seem to be mainly disagreeing on fine-tuning of two things: where the line goes for too suspicious and what is annoying/harassment. I don't think either of those disagreements are solvable, so I guess I shouldn't bother you much further. I'll just quickly sum up my points that were still missed:
* There already is a long history of both helping suspicious people and being strict on definite piracy. Hopefully it never comes to lawsuits against you, but if it does, there are so many of both I don't think anyone starts exactly counting them. (Nor do vague suspicions really hold in court anyway without further proof.)
* From the perspective of the companies, the forum is already very suspicious/notorious from cases like the AACS key and the general subject matter.
* Being polite is always good, but even though I myself have never been under suspicion, as Mug Funky put it, some cases have irked me, people I have talked with and from the "all time favorite" status, I would imagine many more. Not the fact that the question is raised, but the loss of the original subject and/or locked thread.
* I guess I'm pretty noob friendly, so bullying them annoys me.
* It's your site so if you're the one who would take the blame, especially with things like the legal matters, it's best the run it in the way that helps you sleep at night.
