Asking for Warez and or codes via the PM system

35 replies · 19,510 views · Started 05 November 2002

It has been bought to my attention that several people (possibly the same person) has been asking for people to swap software and or registration codes via the PM system. All About Symbian does not condone this sort of behaviour in any way. You are liable to be banned if you are caught doing this (depending on the case you may get one warning). You will be banned staright away if you ever send out multiple messages like this on the PM system.

People should remember that although the PM system is private in that its is not publically acessible, however the admins do have access to all message via the database. I will not embarass those who might have replied to these PM messages with any signs of interest (consider this your first warning if you did). Nor will I reprint some of the language used by those who are equally annoyed by this behaviour as I am in reply to the messages!

If someone sends you such a message please report it to one of the admin or me by PM, or by e-mail to [email protected]

You have been warned.

whoa!

And i thought it was okay! GOod thing i did'nt swap anything..yet..:P

No i promise to be a good member :angel:

😃

P.S: besides, you can't swap since most software has to have your registration code, won't work without it!

HEEEEEEEEY, wait a minute! DOn't you guys go around thinking the guy Rafe was talking about is me! It's not!!!

I don't have a 7650 anymore! (well those were happy days when i did 😞)
But still, it's with me by soul 😃

Hat's off to you Rafe. It's a very good move to put your foot down and give out this warning. I mean, le's not be hypocrites, im pretty sure, most, if not all of us used warez at one point but this site is just not the venue to ask for it.

Good work Rafe, keep it up!

So thats what they were upto!

I got the PM and told them I didn't have anything!
I didn't realise what they were upto.

No swapping 4 me!

That exactly right. I'm sure that many of the people visintg this site (after all likely to be fairly tech competent) have dones something illegal software wise at some point.

I don't want to get into a debate. I just want it clear that this is not the venue for it with regards to Symbian and it will not be tolerated here.

I realise its an easy mistake to make which is why I generally issue warning / did you know this isn't allowed. The person in question this time was a complete newbie (had joined the forums yesterday) so its not anyone we know.

After being asked myself, I asked someone on here, although I didn't know I wasn't supposed to :/
I've actually bought quite a few games like Doom and Steel Warrior, so I don't feel like I've done anything wrong. But yes, I won't be doing it again!

That's why it is a warning 😉

COULDN'T AGREE MORE :fadein:

When I first came here and saw that even guest-postings were allowed, I thought this forum has to be a battlefield (anybody here who remembers how bad the guest-comments on PalmInfoCenter worked out?).

But this is definitely the friendliest forum I've ever found. Might be because of the wide field of devices supported here. Heck, even I as former Psion Revo-user, short time PalmOS-maniac and now wannabe 7650-owner feel very comfortable here.

ALL SERIAL NUMBERS, REGISTRATION NUMBERS AND SECURITY PASSWORDS ARE CONFIDENTIAL. NO ONE SHOULD DISCLOSE IT TO ANYONE.

Apparently their lovers!...lol 😃

[quote="heavy D"]I remember the time when i asked for the full version of Seleq thinking it was freeware... a very embarrassing moment for me... cuz there were like 6-7 posts from rafe that said there should only be trial versions etc.

Thanks to J2theizzo i have a better understanding of the rules in the site..

thanx[/quote]

How do you put custom emoticons?

Ok, even if there is the RULE, maybe not everybody understands written english???

Maybe you could have a translated rule for each popular languag... 😃
