Here are the rules for the Maple Story Section: (At least read the titles!)
Stay on-topic!
This section of MPC is the Maple Story cheating forum, not a MS game forum. This forum is for cheating related questions only. This is NOT the place to ask if a server is down for others too (for example). We also don't want to hear your life story or how you got banned, so just stay on-topic and try to help others as much as possible.
No selling or buying of hacks!
MPC is a forum based on the sharing principle. We do not have private sections where people can get their undetected hacks. We want everybody to have the same level of access to hacks. Therefore, we don't allow linking to sites that sell hacks. We also do not allow requests from people where they offer money, items or accounts in exchange for a hack. Users breaking this rule will be warned accordingly.
Do NOT beg/ask for hacks!
If we see a user asking for a hack rather than searching for it with the MPC Search (http://www.mpcforum.com/search.php?s=) we will warn/ban him and close/delete the thread without warning! Saying that you searched and that you're not begging is still not an excuse to make a thread in which you ask for a hack. This general rule applies: If you can't find what you're looking for using the search and threadlist, it's either not possible or has not been created yet, so there would be no point in asking for it.
Don't ask for updates of out-dated hacks!
The maker of the hack will eventually (or not) release an update so everybody is happy again. Five hundred users asking/begging for it isn't going to motivate cheatcoders in any way.
Only post files using the MPC Attachment system!
Most of you probably know rapidshare, a site where you can upload and host files for free so you can spread them over the internet. Great site, however, we don't want to see any more links to it in threads here!
We have an attachment approval system in place here in order to have the uploaded files scanned before the public is allowed to download them. This way we can ensure the safety of our users and don't have to deal with "I JUST GOT KEYLOGGED BY A HACK POSTED HERE! SCREW YOU!"-type of posts. The system works great, but it takes some time before Moderators can scan and approve the files because. After all, we're humans too, so please show some patience.
When a thread is made, people may say "Upload it to rapidshare(/any other upload site)!" & "Please approve the file!" & "I can't download, wtf?". Or maybe the threadstarter already uploaded the file to rapidshare and posts a link in the startpost. We don't want to see this anymore!
Give credits to those who deserve it!
If we see a user posting a hack/tutorial that was made by somebody else and he does not give the proper credits, he will get a severe warning. Do NOT claim something to be your own, while it's not. That's low, just not done and it can lead to a permanent ban. Also, don't post hacks/tutorials that the maker did not want released. It's called leaking and it's lame.
If you have proof a hack wasn't made by the poster and the poster did not give proper credits, report the post using the /!\-button next to it.
Give detailed explanations of your problems!
If you have a problem with a hack and you ask for help in a new/existing thread, nobody can help you if you only say: "I start the hack and it doesn't work! Please help!". Give more detail on what you have tried, what error you get and what the program doesn't do right.
Don't bump old threads!
Hacks may sometimes stop functioning properly or stop working completely because of a game update. This is normal, so if you come across a very old thread (Last post was more than 2-3 months old or so) that contains a hack that doesn't work anymore, don't bother asking how to get it to work. It's most likely not your fault, but the hack's/game's fault it's not functioning anymore.
Don't bump your threads or post your question multiple times!
The only thing this will do is annoying the regulars in this section and that will certainly not motivate them to answer you. Just wait until someone replies. Bumping a thread if it's over 2 days old and nobody has tried to help yet, you're allowed to bump it of course. :)
Since lots of people were creating threads to ask where they should VAC with their character and none of them got really answered, I started a sticky (http://www.mpcforum.com/showthread.php?t=130862) where people could post all their VAC-spots questions.
If you look at the thread, you'll see that most of the posts only ask for VAC'ing spots and that very little of the requests actually get answered. Since it's pointless to have multiple threads/a sticky full of questions, but no answers, we'll have this new rule.
Posts with questions on where to VAC with your character are no longer allowed!
All posts regarding this subject will be removed and warned upon.
To answer just a few questions you might have, I'll add this short VAC'ing guide by Paine-.
The beginners's guide to vachacking.
ALWAYS turn on no-breath hack, (easy escape)
NEVER stay to pick up your loot once somone's on radar. Either hit cash shop, or hit escape + up + enter.
NEVER Vac hack at a place where people always go (Pig beach, HHG 1).
NEVER Vac hack at the dungeon, subway, or any place with a roof
NEVER Talk, to anyone.
NEVER socialize with others, they will eventually come "Train with you" or "Visit" you.
ALWAYS Change channel AS SOON AS the monsters move away from the spot they should be at, or you see a red dot on your radar.
NEVER, EVER, EVER vac hack on your main. That's your memories, and you don't want to lose that.
Added the following rule to the startpost to clarify our position on the sale of hacks.
