Why aren posts about hacks and cheats allowed?
Posting a warning about a hack or a cheat is allowed, and can be helpful. What is not allowed is posting the URL of a site offering a hack, or embedding a link to such a site in a Basin post. Posts with technique on how to exploit a particular game are unwanted and will be deleted. The software at these sites can be incredibly destructive. Some of it is malicious. A site created by a skilled hacker can install destructive software on your computer without your permission, and without your knowledge. Firewalls (if you have them) may or may not protect you. If you want to take the risks of visiting such sites, that’s your business. But the Basin doesn’t want to be even a tacit participant in anyone being drawn into going there for any reason. We also don’t want to be associated with those sites in any way. So posts on our forums that tell others where to go for hacks and cheats are forbidden.
