To make the board a better place for all of us, some simple rules have been added; we ask you to post and abide by the rules. If you disagree with any of these rules, you can e-mail an administrator.

Forum Rules

1) We take the "Be Polite" rule very seriously! We do not tolerate any rudeness. Personal attacks directed against other members of this forum will not be tolerated. Any member who is intentionally unpleasant or disruptive may be banned without warning.

2) All publicly displayed messages are limited to the English language. This includes posts, titles, signatures, as well as any attachments or other forms of public display.

3) You may not post commission, referral or affiliate links anywhere on the forum.

4) Cross-Posting is not allowed here. Cross-posting refers to posting new duplicate threads or posts, or the linking to threads or posts they have already started.

5) Participants may not post on behalf of any banned member. This includes all forums, private messages, and e-mail features.

6) Participants may not post words or URLs that are censored by adding spaces, dots, or substituting characters; or by any other means in an attempt to defeat any censors put in place by EliteHackers.info.

7) SPAM is prohibited. Any post deemed SPAM will be removed and the user's account will be disabled without warning. The board admin will have the final say in determining what qualifies as SPAM.

8) Participants may not bump threads. Bumping can refer to posting useless information, making corrections or updates in a new post, posting one-liners or any other action to deliberately keep a thread hot or to bring it to the top of its forum. Moderators will use their discretion, depending on the nature of the post, as to whether to take action or not.

9) Participants may not use discussions to recommend, praise, or belittle other products or services, or any company, without first hand experience of those products or services. This includes companies recommending other companies.

10) Search this forum, and search http://www.google.com and Please review past messages before you post.

11) Hijacking threads (getting far off topic) for the purpose of discussing a lifestyle issue, religious issue, discussing someone's sexual preference, or bashing another member is strictly prohibited.

12) Any posts promoting a website similar in nature to EliteHackers.info or in direct competition with EliteHackers.info will be removed. A special note to website owners/administrators: any attempt to use EliteHackers.info to funnel members to your site is strictly prohibited, unless permission is granted otherwise.

13) Making one line posts for the sole purpose of running up one's post count is strictly prohibited.

14) Pictures containing nudity are prohibited. Pictures containing graphic material, but which are still within the terms of service, should be posted as a link only, with a warning to other posters that the pictures seen may be graphic. The web admin and moderators reserve the right to remove pictures deemed inappropriate at any time.

15) Flame baiting is not allowed. What is 'flame baiting'? It means posting a topic or something with the intention of triggering a flame war, or one that invites flames in reply. It's equivalent to inviting someone to troll.

16) Public posts debating these rules and/or moderators' enforcement of such, will be removed without comment.

17) Do not ask how to break into something. This includes e-mail systems, computers, schools, banks, etc. Anything that you are barred from accessing legally, we aren't touching. This includes the computer of "a friend that said it was okay".

18) Do not ask where to find trojans/viruses, and don't ask us for help in using them. They are annoying, prepackaged proof that there is no hope for the human race. Feel free to ask for help in creating your own of either, though expect a not so warm reception to asking for help with a virus.

19) Do not ask us to break into something, find information on someone, or generally harass anyone. This includes employment offers. This isn't the place for hiring online mercs, and almost all of the people that would be tempted by your offer here probably couldn't do what you needed.

20) Questions you ask on the board, get answered on the board. Unless it is some personal matter, or if the answer violated one of our other rules but the question didn't, all answers should be put here. If you need a certain type of help, aren't the chances pretty good that someone else will as well down the road? Let's make the information public domain.

21) Do not ask for cracks, warez, etc. Personally I have no objections to it, but it isn't something to be discussed here, period. If you are looking for a crack or serial number, please use these following websites:

Moderators

Although moderators are held to a higher standard, they are entitled to their personal opinions and are not restrained from participating in debate and forum discussion. They are not required to remain neutral in discussions. Moderators are required to abide by these Terms and Conditions, the same as any member. Any attempt by a member to use the "Moderator Card" to try to restrict an moderator's right to free speech is restricted. At the same time, any attempt by a moderator to use his or her moderator status in an abusive manner is prohibited.

Any abuse towards our staff and/or management in any form, may result in immediate suspension of your account.

Board Policy Enforcement:
Our Terms & Conditions are enforced using a "three strikes policy". Members found to be in violation of our Terms & Conditions will be handled through the process below.
1) First warning will be sent via PM notifying the member of the violation.

2) Second warning will be sent if the violation has not been corrected OR the member continues the activity in question.

3) A third violation will result in a ban from the boards with the length determined by the board administrator.

Based on the circumstances and violations the Board Administrator may decide to ban a member with less than three warnings or without warning, as the circumstances merit. While the above policies and procedures are the rule and we will try our utmost to apply them, exceptions will occur and we will act in whatever manner we deem necessary to deal with infractions and behavior.

Copyrighted Material Policy

Information copyrighted or owned by any individual or entity other than the member should not be posted on the discussion forums or photo galleries without the consent of the owner. If such an event occurs, the individual posting the information shall be held solely responsible. EliteHackers.info shall not be held responsible for member-posted information that may violate copyright law.

You cannot legally post entire articles or news in the forum without permission from the copyright holder. Even if you attribute the article correctly it’s still copyright infringement. Copyright law does not care if you make any money off of the work or not, what matters is if you hurt the potential income of the copyright holder. In this case you would be depriving them of ad revenue and it is illegal. Under Fair Use provisions you can legally post a small abstract of an article - or perhaps the opening paragraph. So if you want to post an article you should do this and include a link, or just post the link. The exception to this rule is press releases; press releases are meant for distribution and can be copied and distributed as much as you want. If you are not sure if you can copy something then always err on the side of caution and simply post a link to the material.

All times are GMT -6. The time now is 12:14 PM.
