Posting

1. Search before posting. Some members may have posted the same upload before with the same link. It is recommended that you search if the link has being posted before by someone. In case of double post, the newer thread will be removed and a PM will be sent to the author of the thread informing him why.

2. Some members are just "throwing" uploads in order to earn karmas and raise their post counts. They are killing their posts and others posts, adding for this, breaking 2 main rules of the PCISO's rules[/size]

POSTING

Add Your links to existing topics (if there are any).

Do not Flood our board.
We recommend to the members with a large amount of uploads, to make One big thread or "Mega thread" and to post all their uploads. They can reserve some post for future updates but don?t be excessive in reserving or it will be considered as a sort of Spam.

3. Links must be to a download site only

* Free file hosting,
Example Rapidshare, MegaUpload, Sendspace, etc...
* Direct link to the software. In order to recognize that this link is a direct link to the Software/Application, the most common way is to look at the end of the link.
Example http://www.pciso.com/downloadsetup.exe
It can be also a .zip, .rar, .iso, etc...
* Links protection sites.
Example: Lix.in, Stealth, etc...


4. No links to other sites, blogs, forums, personal page, etc...
