Astalavista Community Rules
Welcome fellow members and guests
The rules should be respected by everyone, especially new members, in order for this forum to function properly
Rule 1: General Rules
1.1 In all situations, whether explicitly outlined in the Rules or not, the Moderator's judgement prevails

1.7 Do NOT use CAPS in your posts
1.8 Do not post links or requests for Warez or Malware
1.9 No pornographic, sexually offensive, sexually explicit, or objectifying material
1.10 Respect the privacy of others
1.11 Each member should maintain only ONE account
1.12 Any attempt to gain illicit access or illicitly elevate one's privileges on this Forum will result in immediate banning
1.13 Requesting or posting serial numbers, keygens or cracks for commercial programs or any other kind of illegal or pirate material is not allowed
1.14 Post in appropriate sections
1.15 Use the search functionality before posting or requesting
1.16 We take the "Be Polite" rule very seriously. We do not tolerate any rudeness. Any member who is intentionally unpleasant or disruptive may be banned without warning
1.17 You may not post on behalf of any banned member in any public manner
1.18 No cross posting. Post your message once, to the appropriate forum and nowhere else or it will be locked or deleted without warning
1.19 Don't attempt to infect members with trojans, virus, or backdoors or any kind of social engineering attack
1.20 No posting of others personal information. Privacy is to be respected here
1.21 No posting or requesting anything that has to do with breaching any privacy laws including but not limited to requests to assist in hacking emails, websites, networks or violation of other users privacy
1.22 If reporting a XSS or other kind of attack ALWAYS obfuscate the URL/IP/etc.. of the vulnerable host unless you have explicit permission by the owner to report so.
1.23 It is generally better to edit your previous post rather than to make consecutive posts on a thread, especially when you're just adding new information. Additionally if you wish to reply to multiple posts on a thread please use the MultiQuote feature rather than generating consecutive posts by having an individual reply to each. Violation of this rule is likely at the least to result in your posts being merged, however should a moderator decide you've been totally stupid they will at their discretion give you a formal warning.
