Finally, I have taken out sometime. Every members is expected to follow these. Failure to follow, will result in one-two week ban or points deduction as warning and further mis-behavior will yield lifetime bans.

I know, the rules are hell lot to read but, I have no problem if you don't read so, you too shouldn't have any problem when facing the consequence of not reading.

Hide-Hack Related Rules -
Follow these or get instant ban (no warns)

• The purpose of hide hack is to obtain compulsory gratitude from the people who download or see the work done/ contributed by the poster.
• You are compulsorily required to post a thank you message or some meaningful comment.
• If you want to pass through this simple barrier by typing random letters of your keyboard you will be banned for a week-two right away. Even after the ban removal there isn't any change in attitude we will be much obliged to provide you lifetime ban.
• Don't type thxxxx... etc.. either type thank you properly or no need to reply at all.
• Also, don't copy-paste another person's thank you message and/ or copy-paste same thank you message on all your posts. Just think - if like your same thank you messages all the threads have same thing? What will happen?
• It takes a lot trouble to post things and when people don't even thank properly it really feels bad. When you spend hours to download you should spend few seconds to type a thank you message properly.
• Use just one hide-tag set/ thread as, there are some bugs in it because of which just one hidden block appears when replied.

How to become a moderator....?
(Thanks to DGT board for this)

1. Show some usefulness, we like people that are friendly, can post quality posts, and are knowledgeable of the rules, kinda like a model member.

2. Never ever spam.

3. Don't call us, we'll call you. You don't become a moderator by asking, if you're made of what it takes to be a moderator, believe me, we'll notice.

4. You can't be a moderator right when you come in the door. We like to see someone with experience, knows the workings of the forum well enough to understand it well.

5. Background knowledge is always a plus. Basics of computer workings and the internet are always good.
=========================

Rules maybe added/ removed/ modified anytime with prior, later or no information. It is your duty to keep checkin'.

If anyone (members/ mods) wants to suggest any addition or change in rules or have any doubts may do so in guestbook forum.
