Why?
https://sinclairql.wordpress.com
I'm not sure what the people above are referring to but George is a funny and courteous guy and is doing a great thing for the speccy community here. I know he has his detractors and has had some disagreements with people online but I think that says perhaps more about the mindset of some members of the community than it does about George, in all honesty. I've known him on youtube for 3 years or so and I met him in person earlier this year (I also live in Spain, although some distance from George) and him and his dad are a really good laugh, tbh. For someone who is disabled he has a really good outlook on the world and is trying to do his best and I think it's a bit unreasonable that people on here are looking to immediately rubbish and put down the efforts of others for no reason other than wanting to see them fail. That's a bit sad, really.
If people have nothing good to say about something, it's good to just say nothing at all. Spreading negativity is not a good thing to do and if you don't like how someone is doing something just move on until you find something you do like :-) I fail to see how putting out great games is a negative and surely anyone who is doing so shouldn't be shot down just for trying to do something constructive ? My 2p's worth, anyway ;-)
Let's just be thankful there are great boxed titles coming out !
He is not a member of this forum because he was quite vile.
And yet again. YOU MR GEORGE BUM are banned.

I surely don't like to read about how "vile" a person is in reference to personal messages. Let's just say that WoS moderation considered those messages inappropriate and banned him, and that's it. I don't think that publicly attacking a person that cannot defend himself in the same public forum, in such a personal way, is fair.
"Vile"? "Downright disgusting"? Moderation should be more aseptic.
Let's not belittle WOS making it a place for smearing people and consequently devalue good Speccy initiatives.
This is my opinion about what I'm reading here, and I won't return on the matter.
Let's just play Spectrum games.
There was no attack on him as such just a comment on how he treated people who disagreed with him. The terms "vile" and "downright disgusting" were in direct reference to messages he sent to other members of this forum (and other forums) and not a generalisation of his character.
I have absolutely no problem with his venture into selling Spectrum games, good luck to him but he does need to work on his social skills if he wants to succeed.
Would you be taking the same attitude if a member had posted that George had been sending inappropriate messages to people rather than a mod posting it? I think not.
So, we don't take banning people lightly, and to permanently ban someone is serious to us.
He was here to defend himself - the person we just banned was him - he re-applies with different id's 5 or 6 times a day and slipped through this time. The messages he has sent, and the videos he advertises on his site with commentaries about other WoS members are disgusting, and the people of this forum deserve to know this.
I would also love to see these "vile" private messages that I have sent (I have never sent any such thing)
I am quite angry about the lies these people are spreading ! It is for this reason I started my own site and my own gaming label as I don't think the ZX Spectrum community is well served by being helmed by these bitter, social justice warrior twats.
I am looking into starting my own forum. The ZX Spectrum deserves better than this !

That would be weird lol. I'd probably kill myself if that happened...
When I've started the thread...never thought to create a case like these!!!
Well I'm on Sinclair Stuff since 1983...in particular with the SPeccy where I've spent 10 days of my ilfe (1983 to 1993) searching and finding all kind of titles for him.
Now that the Vintage market is going and much better every day I love that someone like George, or whatever guy in the world, can publish on cassette tapes some new titles for the Speccy.
I've supported all the Spanish guys, Matranet, Monument, Retroworks and I will support Bum Label because for me is a good cause.
We have talked about RWAP (Rich Mellor) recently on a Spanish forum about his work on publish QL stuff and the rights for do it but I was never banned for it because we are just talking :-)
Really sad to read about all that things about people that are doing something or less special for Sinclair brand.

I am wondering if he has any legal rights to producing these games at all and if not does the developers know about this.
If its all OK for him to do this then I can only say good luck to him as he is pushing new games onto cassette for a good price.
As for his video's, well they are not for me as I find them very childish and its like a little kid constantly saying teh word "bum" over and over. Its funny at first but when its milked like a dairy cow it becomes the same old thing. I am sure he says something about mine as I know he dont like them either.
The main people you should watch out for is George but his "bummers" as they will hound you in any way they can if you do anything to George like ban him from your forum and group. If they were any kind of fan of his they would respect him to leave those people alone, but it dont happen sadly.
You're wasting time
Or more exactly, 2/5 this year
It shows WoS to be far more tolerant than people would imagine.
Well I really hope so but I'm defending no one: simply told that who produce something concrete have my respect.
I don't want to enter in other people problems and details, just saying that I hope the Spectrum community will be more "united" because we all need it.
Best regards.

About ranma_simon, man you've been asking people for their ql software in order to sell it and there has been a strange anonymous copyright denounce to the forum host because of some download links with ql software. Your intentions and rwap's are not clear to me. Yo ask for material with promises of sharing the stuff and then intimidate the same users making claims about having distribution rights which are very doubtful imo. Meh

Well you know that QL have a lot of MIA's and so the project is for preserve.
Rich, and others not only him, have the rights for make it public a day.
Some author have also lost his programs too because are not preserved, so we are trying to find all possible things and the publish all that is possible.
Our Italian preservation program is totally different from the Rich one: we are preserving all in original format, like TZX for the Speccy, so on MDV and IMG formats (original dumps with original protections too) and we are trying to make it available a day not only for Q-emuLator but also for the Real QL on MD too.
So all the contributers have his stuff dumped and restored because, you know, Md's are not so reliable after 30 years (and not so bad too) and we help all that wants back his stuff to have a backup too for free.
In 2 years we have preserved more than 500 titles and we are working 2/3 hours per day on it: in the near future will be a complete list and all the free stuff downloadable.
Naturally most of this original stuff was mine: I've more than 150 original boxes and more that 500 original md's buyed everywhere.
So I'm the first one that...put his stuff and let it available for future use.
The problem on QL scene is that the people who work on his programs is also producing some new stuff or simply have the rights, and so we need to ask for publish all his stuff naturally.
Rich have done a differente process: He found all in cracked format (or cracked after) for use it on emulators and after produce some Disk Compilations for let people play on the Real QL the stuff that can't be found because was on MD's and so with sponges problems.
And he have the rights to do it.
My intentions is simply to preserve: the anonymous denounce was not done from Rich and naturally not from me (I've not the rights) but seem that many other QL "righters" have seen some of his programs online illegally.
I was signed on that forum and in other Spanish too and I've simply tried to explain that If someone have the rights can ask to remove all links in sites were the programs are hosted.
The same that was done in the past for the Sam Coupe from Quazar and then before the RARE guys on WOS, nothing strange or new.
