So, how did you get the game then?
Piracy post reporting and forum etiquette: We're not investigating/searching for reasons to ban. Asking too many questions, like, "where did you get the game", is none of your business. Not knowing how to dump a game is not an admission of guilt. If you mention downloading, you get banned. If you don't mention it, nothing happens, we then all assume you own the game. Do not harass forum users or report them unless they admit to downloading illegal content.
Fwiw, Anti-Ultimate isn't accusing the OP of piracy; he just wants to know the method the OP used to dump the game. Just to be clear, this is useful information when diagnosing problems. The OP might have dumped it incorrectly, in which case a member of the forum can point out the proper way to do it. When people start equating not knowing what "dumping" is (it's English slang after all, might be obscure to non-native writers) to piracy, then the line has been crossed. At this time, Anti-Ultimate is just looking for more accurate info.
fwiw i wasn't accusing Anti-Ultimate of accusing the OP of piracy
everybody mentioned redumping his game
it was the way he worded it
No one's broken the forum ettiqette yet, though. The OP mentioned a DVD drive model, implying that RawDump may have been attempted, but it's still not clear how the original game was dumped or whether redumping has been attempted so far. This can cause some confusion, and Anti-Ultimate just wants some clarification.
fwiw i am not accusing anyone of breaking the forum etiquette
like i said it was the way he worded it
he should of said "what method did you use to dump your game"

Then what was the point of quoting the forum policy about piracy reporting? What did you mean by posting it? To me, it looks like you're trying to say Anti-Ultimate shouldn't subtly accuse the OP of piracy (which asking "how did you get it?" can be seen as) or you're trying to say he some how needs to be reminded of the forum etiquette.

"What method" and "How" are too similar for most people to care about. Their meanings are essentially the same. Reading too much into "wording" can lead to problems and misunderstandings. We want to help the OP redump the game, and knowing how it was originally dumped is helpful. Any further discussion here should be to that end.
we are getting to off topic now but thanks for the great discussion
