The Rules Of This Board

[Zero]

The board is primarily a reverse code engineering and software protection board and it will be a friendly place, it will only allow legal topics and technical data and it will not be used for trolling or proselytising for any other topics. The rules do not pretend to be a legally exhaustive set of definitions but will be enforced on the basis of the stated intent.

1. The board is first and foremost an reverse code engineering and software protection board and its primary focus will remain those topics.

2. The basis of the rules in the board is respect for other members. Respect for new members who are struggling with the board topics, respect for experienced members who are here to help and respect for differences between members. This cannot be done by rigid compliance to stated rules and is based on intent. Please remember that every person who posts in the board is another human being and deserves to be treated like one.

3. Legality of content is not a negotiable matter in the board. Reverse code engineering is a mainstream of software protection and is primarily used by professional programmers who require the knowledge in specialised areas. Low level coding is necessary and encouraged but there will be viral or trojan technology allowed including technical data under the guise of AV technology. No simple cracking and similar activities under the camouflage of reverse code engineering, no hacking techniques or related technology and no support or help with or reference to pirated software. There will also be no links to pages that support or display any of these or any other illegal areas of coding.

4. There will be no abuse or insults towards other members. While it is normal for people to disagree over different things, any differences will be handled with good manners and respect for other members. With only a minor tolerance allowed here for idiomatic variation, profanities are not allowed in the board as they can offend other members. Nuisance postings, pontificating and lecturing are considered as abuse and will not be tolerated.

5. Do not offend other members with politics or religious dispouts.

6. No flames.

7. No posting of useless content just to increase your post counter.

8. No trolling !

9. ATTACHMENTS
The board has the capacity to upload ZIP files and other formats so that other members can access files that have been posted. The capacity is for reverse code engineering material only, no other type of material will be allowed, no malicious or illegal code may be attached and any material that does not conform to these guidelines will be deleted.

10. Do NOT ask for warez or crackz.

11. If you have problems with a commercial software, ask your software support for help (this is for the guys: "I can not get my SoftIce running") and RTFM first.
