Listen to me carefully. We are all fed up with having to warn people about requesting, especially when we don't see that it helps.
Here are the new rules. Don't say we didn't warn you.
1. If you request, you are AUTOMATICALLY BANNED. No more warnings, no more fluffy bunnies and hugs. If you can't read this basic rule, you're out. Simple as that.
2. If you REPLY to a request with what the requester WANTS (such as posting a serial number or sending him a website/crack) you will be AUTOMATICALLY BANNED. You are encouraging the problem, and putting the site in peril.
I'm sorry that it had to come to this, but nothing has been improving.
And just in case you didn't realize:
YOU CANNOT REQUEST THE FOLLOWING:
- CRACKED SOFTWARE
- CRACKED PATCHES
- CD-KEYS / SERIALS / PASSWORDS
- ANY ILLEGAL APPLICATIONS OF ANY SORT
- LINKS TO ANY HTTP SITES WITH ILLEGAL APPLICATIONS
- LINKS TO ANY FTP SITES WITH ILLEGAL APPLICATIONS
- E-MAILING CONTAINING ANY OF THE ABOVE
YOU CANNOT DO THE FOLLOWING:
- PRIVATE MESSAGE PEOPLE ASKING FOR ANY PROHIBITED ITEMS
- E-MAIL PEOPLE ON THE BOARD ASKING FOR ANY PROHIBITED ITEMS
Remember, you are NOT the exception to the rule. We won't allow it "just once" because of <insert lame reason here>. We don't care how much you need it or want it, the rules apply to EVERYONE at ALL TIMES. If you are caught with any of these, you are BANNED.
Now you know. Thanks to all of the people who have lived carefully by this rule, and discouraged others from doing it.
