User blog comment:SpiderRolling/ Banning Downloads Links Discussion/@comment-27611520-20181031230707

The wiki ought to take steps in removing content related to such games. I just think it's the right thing to do, to respect creators' wishes in the utmost, you know? Moreover, I feel action should be taken to ensure that links/mirrors to reuploaded or hosted files of these games be made inaccessible as soon as they are found, with those responsible being held accountable--i.e., disciplined accordingly (an offense punishable by ban, perhaps?). If you choose to keep their pages around for archiving purposes, comments on such "skeleton pages" should be prohibited, as people are wont to share links in discussion. A bigger pain might be screening blog posts for links. Regardless, you're going to need people who will be willing and able to enforce this policy.


 * Coma's creator commented on the wiki directly about this. They were upfront and we should remove content related to the game.
 * Inspiration's request is loud and clear. They haven't gone to anyone in order to enforce it, but it's obvious they don't want their game made available any longer.
 * Lcd Dem... this one is really tricky. See, koronba gave this heartfelt appeal, and as much as I'd like to respect it in the truest sense, I don't think it's humanly possible to simply forget about the game entirely. Especially when one considers its greater impact on the YNFG community, in addition to being a source of inspiration for other games. Chie is a distinct entity in the fandom--she's referenced in numerous other fan games. The wiki can choose to do the right thing and remove all content related to the game, but there will be people who will complain, and its absence will be felt... but sometimes the best choices we make are the most difficult.

I'd also like to take this opportunity to add the following caveat to my message: Remember, any preventative actions taken here will likely NOT be followed over at Uboachan's fan games board. People can and will find means of getting the games no matter what, of this I am almost certain. I know from my own experience with fan games that people will devote inordinate amounts of time and effort to acquire illustrious-yet-unavailable titles (really, I spent hours digging up the OFF fan game BUG). However, we can and should still do whatever we need to do to be upstanding and courteous here.
