New Registration Rules for the second quarter of the 21st century

[Progman]

As our rules are rather old, tired, dry and stale, I have rewritten and freshened them up for this next quarter century:

 

**Welcome to Tuts 4 You!**  

*Where reverse engineering meets reverse humor!*  

 

Before you dive into our treasure trove of knowledge, take a moment to read through our rules. Think of them as the "terms and conditions" of our community, but with fewer naps and more laughs.

### **01. Your Expected Behaviour and Attitude**  

This is a family-friendly community, so keep it PG-13. No swearing, no flaming, and definitely no CAPS LOCK RANTS. We’re here to learn, not to audition for a soap opera.  

 

If someone’s being a jerk, report them. Don’t engage—let the mods handle it. We’ve got ban hammers, and we’re not afraid to use them.  

 

---

 

### **02. How to Best Post For Help?**  

Step 1: Use the search bar.  

Step 2: Use Google.  

Step 3: Use your brain.  

Step 4: If all else fails, post your question with *actual details*.  

 

Pro tip: If your post looks like “halp plz fix,” you’re doing it wrong.  

 

---

 

### **03. I Am New to Reverse Code Engineering - Where to Start?**  

Reverse engineering is like eating an elephant—start small, chew slowly, and don’t choke. Here’s a starter kit:  

- Learn assembly language (it’s like learning Klingon, but useful).  

- Get familiar with tools like IDA Pro, Ghidra, and OllyDbg.  

- Accept that you’ll spend 90% of your time confused. That’s normal.  

 

---

 

### **04. Should I Learn Coding or Programming?**  

Short answer: Yes.  

Long answer: Yeeeeeeeeees.  

 

If you’re new, start with Python. It’s like the training wheels of programming. Once you’re comfortable, move on to C/C++ or Assembly. Or don’t. We’re not your mom.  

 

---

 

### **05. Ignoring Other Members**  

Found someone annoying? Use the ignore button. It’s like a mute button for humans.  

 

---

 

### **06. Thanking Posts**  

If you like a post, hit the "Like" button. If you don’t, hit the "Ignore" button. If you post “thx” or “kudos,” we’ll hit the "Warning" button.  

 

---

 

### **07. Uploads, Downloads & Files**  

Downloading files here is like eating gas station sushi—do it at your own risk. If something looks sketchy, report it.  

 

---

 

### **08. Help and Support**  

Need help? Post in the right forum. If you post in the wrong place, we’ll move it. If you keep doing it, we’ll move *you*… to the banned list.  

 

---

 

### **09. Your Personal Details and Profile**  

Keep your profile info accurate. If you lie about your age, gender, or species, we’ll know. (Yes, we’re onto you, lizard people.)  

 

---

 

### **10. Logging in to the Community**  

Use your email and password. If you forget them, use the “Forgot Password” button. If you forget how to use that button, maybe reverse engineering isn’t for you.  

 

---

 

### **11. Scene Warez**  

No cracks, no warez, no “plz fix this game for me.” We’re here to learn, not to pirate.  

 

---

 

### **12. Banners / Signatures / Avatars**  

Avatars? Yes. Banners and signatures? No. Keep it simple, folks.  

 

---

 

### **13. Crack & Unpack Requests**  

Want a crack? Go somewhere else. Want to learn how to crack? Stick around.  

 

---

 

### **14. Incentives & Monetary Rewards**  

Offering money for cracks? That’s a ban. Offering money for pizza? That’s cool.  

 

---

 

### **15. Spam and Bots**  

Spam = instant ban. Bots = instant ban. Spam bots = instant ban + shame.  

 

---

 

### **16. Disposable Email Addresses**  

If you use a disposable email, we’ll assume you’re a bot. Or a spy. Either way, you’re gone.  

 

---

 

### **17. Privacy Statement**  

We don’t sell your data. We don’t spam you. We don’t even know what you did last summer.  

 

---

 

### **18. Deleting Accounts**  

Want to delete your account? Too bad. Your posts live forever. Think before you post.  

 

---

 

### **19. Warnings, Suspensions & Bans**  

3 warnings = timeout. 4 warnings = permanent ban. Don’t be that guy.  

 

---

 

### **20. Sign Up Process & Security Check**  

If you can’t pass the security check, maybe reverse engineering isn’t your thing.  

 

---

 

### **21. Complaints and Moderating Issues**  

Got a complaint? Be polite. If you’re rude, we’ll ignore you.  

 

---

 

### **22. Intellectual Property**  

Don’t steal stuff. If you do, we’ll delete it. If you keep doing it, we’ll delete *you*.  

 

---

 

### **23. Contact Us**  

Use the contact form. Include your email. If you don’t, we can’t reply. It’s not rocket science.  

 

---

 

### **24. Finally!**  

Be kind, be helpful, and don’t be a jerk. Together, we can make this community awesome. Or at least mildly entertaining.  

 

Now go forth and reverse engineer responsibly! 🚀

You are a 14 year old kid who has been here for 14 days or so.  You are getting out of hand kiddo, and are in need of a severe spanking from your parents
