Cs.rin Forum Rules
A unique rule to cs.rin.ru: If you upload files to a free host, you must not use a password.
Many file hosts (like Zippyshare in the past) delete files based on hash matching. Users sometimes password-protect archives to avoid auto-detection. The forum forbids this.
The exact wording (paraphrased): "No passwords on archives. If you must use a password, it must be 'cs.rin.ru' and posted in plain text in the OP. No exceptions." cs.rin forum rules
Additionally, use WinRAR 5.0 or higher with recovery records (3-5%). Corrupted archives waste every user's time and are subject to removal.
CS.RIN.RU runs on an ancient version of phpBB. It does not like modern email providers (Outlook, Yahoo, many ProtonMail domains). You generally need a Gmail or a custom domain email. If you get "Invalid Host," that is your email being rejected, not a bug. A unique rule to cs
The forum makes an exception to the "no request" rule for two specific tools: Steamless (removes SteamStub DRM) and Goldberg Emulator (an open-source Steam emulator).
You may ask for help with these tools in the appropriate subforums. However, you must provide: "Help, it doesn't work" with no data will be ignored
"Help, it doesn't work" with no data will be ignored.
Users often confuse "Scene rules" (the rules of warez release groups like CODEX, RUNE, or Razor1911) with CS.RIN.RU rules. The forum rules explicitly forbid nuking a release on the forum. In the Scene, groups "nuke" (declare a release bad) if it has a bad crack. On CS.RIN.RU, that behavior is banned.
The Rule: Do not post “This release is nuked because it has a missing texture.” Just post a fix or move on. Drama about proper vs. improper releases is forbidden. The forum is for fixing problems, not complaining about them.
