Rules

These rules apply to all members of the CsBlackDevil.Com community and are enforced across nearly all categories of the forum.

1. Username / Profile / Avatar / Signature

1.1 Usernames/display names must not contain vulgar or racist language. They must be different from those of the forum’s administrative team.

1.2 Avatars/signatures must not contain pornographic images, racist content, or depictions of cruelty toward humans or animals. NSFW (Not Safe For Work) images are also prohibited, as some members access the forum from workplaces or public spaces. This includes adult content (+18).

1.3 Signatures may contain a maximum of two images. The signature is not a photo or wallpaper gallery.

1.4 Attaching video clips in signatures is prohibited.

1.5 Registering multiple accounts will result in permanent suspension or deletion of all accounts.

1.6 Sharing your account password with other members/visitors or selling your account is strictly forbidden.

2. Creating a New Topic (Thread)

2.1 Make sure you are posting in the correct category.

2.2 Use the 'Search' function before creating a topic, as one may already exist on the same subject.

2.3 Give your topic a clear and relevant title to receive help faster.

Example: If you're having trouble changing your avatar, don’t title the thread “problem.” Instead, use “avatar change issue” so moderators can find it quickly using keywords like “problem,” “avatar,” or “change.”

3. Language

3.1 Using vulgar language will result in permanent suspension.

3.2 Insulting other members is not tolerated, regardless of language. Provoking arguments may result in temporary or permanent suspension.

3.3 Racist remarks will lead to permanent suspension.

3.4 These rules also apply to private messages (PMs).

3.5 Inappropriate language includes partial censorship of vulgar words.

4. Posting Rules

4.1 Off-topic / Post-hunt / Spam

4.1.1 Off-topic posts that do not relate to the thread’s subject are not allowed.

4.1.2 Post-hunting refers to posting for quantity rather than quality. Short or generic replies are considered post-hunting.

Example: “hi,” “cool,” “nice,” “awesome”

Generic replies are statements that are vague or unrelated to the topic. For example: “I like the game, I played it and it’s fun” may be considered generic if it lacks depth or relevance.

4.1.3 If a rule is broken in a post, do not reply with “closed and warn” or “ban bann.” Use the report button under the user’s avatar.

4.1.4 Spam is defined as excessive posting in a category with useless or repetitive topics/replies.

4.2 Double Posting

4.2.1 Double posting is not allowed. Use the edit button. It is not considered double posting if the posts are more than 24 hours apart.

4.2.2 Posts made within seconds of each other due to connection issues are not considered double posting.

4.3 Excessive Use of Colors / Emojis / Font Size

4.3.1 Colors and font sizes should highlight ideas or parts of a sentence, not decorate entire posts or topics.

5. Piracy (Warez)

5.1 Creating any topic related to piracy (warez) is strictly forbidden.

The following will result in permanent suspension without appeal:

Instructions, discussions, or links on how to run pirated software, including cracks.

Requests or publication of serial numbers or cracks.

Requests or publication of DLCs.

Requests or publication of trackers (torrent sources).

Download links for software you do not own rights to (except official sources offering free downloads).

Advertising private servers or promoting free alternatives to paid services.

Example: Statements like “Play for free at www.ewkew.ro instead of paying monthly on the official server.”

6. Advertising / Spam

6.1 Advertising refers to promoting a site to attract visitors. Any post, signature, avatar, or private message of this nature will result in permanent suspension.

6.2 Mentioning pages for informational purposes is not considered advertising.

Example (prohibited): “Join the best community www.csbd.ro – it’s the best in the world!”

Example (prohibited): “Click to win an iPhone,” “Make money online with clicks.”

7. Reporting

7.1 Use the report function to flag rule violations or unfair sanctions. Failure to do so may result in your issue being ignored.

7.2 Reports are not private messages to the admin team. Do not use the report function unless you are facing a real issue.

8. Section-Specific Rules

8.1 Some forum sections have their own local rules. Please read them carefully to avoid penalties.

9. Servers, Reseller & ZP62

9.1 Using terms like Zombie Plague 6.0 / 6.2 / 6.2UltimateX / 6.3 / 6.4 / 6.xxx in DNS or categories is strictly forbidden unless the server runs an original CSBLACKDEVIL addon.

9.2 CounterStrike 1.6 server owners using redirect plugins from 0 players to servers outside the community without notifying the reseller will have their server access suspended for 3 days and the server taken offline.

9.3 Clients who purchase CSBD addons but do not host their servers within the community or through a reseller account receive limited and paid support after 15 days.

9.4 Repeated reinstallations of Zombie Plague 6.2 addons are not free. [Fee: €30]

9.5 Reloading the addon after inactivity is free if the downtime does not exceed 180 days (6 months). After that, a fee will apply.

9.6 Flooding another server in the community (whether you’re a server manager or admin) is strictly forbidden and will result in removal from the community.

10. Purchasing Staff Ranks

10.1 Purchasing a rank does not exempt you from responsibilities.

10.2 Returning to a previously purchased rank is free if inactivity does not exceed 90 days (3 months).
