I don't know if prohibiting the discussion of fan subs is the right thing to do, although MW walks an odd line between what kind of piracy discussion is 'okay.' iMacross and bit torrent digisubs discussions are okay, but Kazaa stuff isn't?
Fundamentally the problem with fansubbing is that it involves a lot of ego; always has. Thus we get problems like the trolls coming here just to complain about the Infusion guys,
I think you misunderstand. I am referring to fansub discussions like the one we have regarding Infusion/AOnE/etc/etc/etc that is bringing the ego into the discussion. Discussion of fansubs ain't the problem. It's the ego/drama that's coming with it in that thread. Leave the new-age fansubber ego/drama at the door or don't come in at all. Is that so hard? Judging by that thread...apparently so.
