Preface
I'm not trying to call out the mod action of removing my post from the comm so much as I'm calling out the complete lack of mod action leading to the comm becoming shit and having the current top post by scaled, hot, and active being a post that explicitly targets another lemmy user.
That out of the way... !mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world has clearly been slipping from the purpose of the comm for a while now. Most of the posts are actually infuriating and/or political. I understand that what qualifies as either of those can be different for different people, but I feel most of this shit clearly isn't mundane or simple enough to fall under the label of just mildly infuriating.
Here's some examples from the first page right now, sorted by scaled.
While I could have sworn the sidebar had a no politics rule, it doesn't at the time of me writing this up, so politics are arguably acceptable, although I personally feel these all clearly don't match the theme of the community, violating Rule 7.
Sidebar, and expanded rule 7
A few other posts have been made calling this out.
Mod harder and [META] What actually constitutes "mildly infuriating" content?
################################
Beyond all that mess, we have what was the final straw for me.
Rule 1 (and less so 5), and the current top post by scaled, hot, and active.
I cannot accept that a post to mildly infuriating that targets a specific user while not even removing their username is respectful, and I personally consider it harassment (while it may not violate rule 5 as there is no call to action). Removing the username is usually the bare minimum even in the fucking reddit brigading subs, for plausible deniability.
And regardless of whatever arguments can be had about interpretations of the community's specific rules, it's a dick move. Just block the guy. It reminds me of the god awful reddit dogpiling and brigading. I don't want any of that to come to lemmy.
So I reported it, then saw the recent posts asking mods for action that got no response. I then looked at the mods.
- LillianVS@lemmy.world (Aer) has not been active in two years.
- STRIKINGdebate2@lemmy.world (Striker) has not been active in one year.
- Tenthrow@lemmy.world had not appeared to be active for six days at the time I reported the post, but upon checking the community mod log was likely active two days before (assuming that the other two wouldn't be just lurking and modding for over a year).
So I did something dumb as hell. Roughly an hour after I reported it, I made my own post (now removed from the comm). I find people who make call out posts about others, and the absentee mods allowing it, mildly infuriating. Yeah, childish as shit. What's done is done.
Modlog:
Removed for "doesn't fit community", but what do you folks think? Does it really not fit when the top post is what it is? Personally I think both should be gone, lest that comm descend further into shit.
Either way, now that I have this yell into the void out of me, I'm blocking the comm. Maybe I should have made my post in actually infuriating? (kidding)
There's no real nice way to say this, so I'll be direct. This is one of the most basic questions you could ask in a piracy community, reveals a lack of effectively any attempt to read up on things and understand them on your own, and it is written like you don't have a good grasp on English.
Of course cracked games aren't original. Why are you specifying that as though it's important?
There is no way to play a game protected by DRM without either buying it properly to allow you through the DRM legitimately, or using a cracked copy to remove/bypass that DRM.
You can see if there is a version sold on GoG, as all releases through GoG are DRM free. On that case you can just download the unmodified GoG installer from a third party and install the unmodified/original DRM free version.
Beyond that, you will have to deal with the DRM. We could get in the weeds about some of the specifics of how different DRM can be bypassed in different ways, but it will always involve at minimum an addition to the game's files, and usually further changes to the executable to remove DRM related code. That's not something you'd do yourself, you'd just get an already cracked copy from a safe source.
Ultimately, this whole "original, non cracked copy" is kind of a nonsense concern. There's only a few mods on Nexus that do any sort of checking for if the game is a legitimate copy. Likewise for mods that claim to truly, absolutely require an unmodified copy of the game. Usually that just means that you shouldn't use that mod on top of another mod. As long as you are downloading your pirated copy from a safe source, overwhelmingly you'll be able to mod it with stuff from Nexus.
If you start having issues, just do your research before you report the issue to the developer of the mod to make sure it's not a crack related problem. Most mods with that will be specific about it somewhere easily found. And don't openly tell people you're using a cracked version when asking for help.
Additionally, since you're asking such a simple question, I'll give some extra info: In general, you will not have access to multiplayer features with a pirated/cracked game. You absolutely won't have access to Steam based features like achievements or mods from the Steam Workshop (if the game supports that).
