Forum rules updated 29/01/11

For all members, please take note that we have had to update the general forum rules today to make sure we keep in line with what's good and what's not regarding the long term future of the forum. We've updated the forum rules but the most important one here is:

WE DO NOT ALLOW TALK OF CARD SHARING IN ANY FORM ON THIS FORUM, THIS INCLUDES REMOTE AND LOCAL SHARING AND MAKES NO DIFFERENCE WHAT THE PROVIDER IS, CHAT ON THIS SUBJECT IS NOT ALLOWED ON HERE.

We of course understand that there are already some threads on this forum that push these rules to the limit. We will not for now be deleting these and will leave them here for reference however we ask that you please DO NOT reply to these threads any more at least with regards to card sharing or we'll have no choice but to close the thread and remove the offending posts.

We are sorry that we must make this rule a little more strict than has been the case of late however we must keep the forums future and it's members and administrators in our minds which is why we have decided now is the time to enforce this rule more strictly (it's always been here but we have let a few threads past the radar). I am sure you will fully understand our reasons for this. We may also need to change additional rules over the course of the coming weeks to ensure we are not crossing the line regarding the law, again this will be done with only the long term future of the forum in mind, we are not doing this to make life hard for anyone! We will let you know if and when we need to update futher forum rules.

Please take the time to read the full up to date forum rules her[/COLOR][Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

Thanks for all your understanding

I'm a touch confused by that. I totally understand the not talking about CS but is it still possible to talk about, for example, CCCam. I don't need to share anything
but am interested in learning as much as possible which sometimes requires a general question or two.

There are a number of uses for CCcam (as with other softcams) which is why it's never easy to say 'yes this is allowed' or 'no this is not allowed', as one thing blends into another. Bottom line is talk of CCcam as such is not banned and when used in relation to you using your own paid for viewing card in your own local receiver card slot for example, however talk of CCcam when used in relation to card sharing is banned (either local sharing or remote sharing over the internet). There will be instances where talk about one aspect that's not banned blends into another that is banned, we'll be monitoring threads for this and as regards if a thread stays or goes then the banned subject topics will have to take presidence over the allowed ones (I'm only talking of where a thread crosses over from one to the other here).

Basic softcam config setup though is allowed on here, we don't extend this though to for example how to extract a boxkey from a viewing card, that's not something we'll be able to chat about on here either, but basic general softcam setup chat is fine, just not for sharing.
