SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

1. It essentially amounts to: we will ban you and if you complain about it we'll pretend that's why we did it.

Yeah. So if there is any censorship, you have to keep quiet about it and deal only with OBS, and entirely on their terms.

"Publishers who deliberately court controversy by making public declarations or accusations of censorship resulting from this process in order to draw attention to their products will be considered to use hostile marketing."

With the caveat that English is my first language, I think the policy is pretty clear. If you focus on the words deliberate, public, and attention...you should get most of the way there.

This is not as unreasonable as people are making it out to be.

Sure let's focus on those words:

"Deliberate" is a subject judgment, entirely up to the discretion of OBS.
"Attention" is a subjective judgment, entirely up to the discretion of OBS.
"Public" means you're not allowed to complain to anyone besides OBS, who will ignore you.

Yep, I'm there all right.

Bet ya thought your response was really cute. And then Cathode posted and hit all three.

That is correct!  But, keep in mind that I didn't do any of the three until AFTER my ban from DriveThru!  I just raised my prices by 10000% and posted that you can get it 99% cheaper at Big Geek Emporium.  Then I shared it as a badge of honor afterward.  I knew negotiating with DriveThru is futile... they hold all the cards, which is why I chose this route.

Advertising another shop while promoting own material on Drivethrough is basically a clear hostile behaviour as it can be.
And that's before they even censored you proper - you just suspected they may, so you decided to go all commando into action. Not a wise move really.
