Date of Report: October 2023 (Retrospective Analysis) Subject: Community guideline enforcement in warehousing forums Source: CS.RIN.RU – Steam Underground Community

You CANNOT do (Under Rule 6, 2021 enforcement):

• "Where is the link?" – If the link isn't visible, you either need to be logged in, have 1 post, or the link is in a hidden "thanks" button. Asking reveals you didn't read the stickies.
• "Link is dead, reup please" – This is a "resurrect request." Put this in the Game Requests section, not the main game thread. Posting it in the release thread will get it deleted instantly.
• "How do I crack this?" – If a thread says [CS] (Clean Steam) or [CL] (Clean Locked), those files are encrypted. Discussing how to bypass Steam in that thread violates Rule 6. Go to the Steam Underground subforum.
• "Why is my antivirus going off?" – This belongs in the General Help section.

However, the interpretation of Rule #6 shifted dramatically around late 2020 and solidified in 2021.
