Welcome,
I’m glad that you've decided to register. When introducing yourselves in this section, there are a couple of things to consider in order to ensure that your introduction is any meaningful in the first place – because there is little point to merely saying “Hello.”.
- Write a thing or two about your person: What are your hobbies? How old are you? Of course there aren’t any specific rules on how to do this, but telling a bit about yourself makes it easier for the other members to welcome you.
- What was the reason for you to register? Did a friend recommend it? Or did you just want to download some hack?
- What did you plan on doing in this board? Are you going to write tutorials, just join the daily discussions, or do you have any special plans? Maybe we are able to help you with bringing your plans into action.
After giving you a short overview of how things work in this section, I’d like to point out a few details about the board in order to help you get going. Should there be any questions left after reading this introduction, feel free to contact either myself or one of my colleagues via private message (PM).

)E*PVP – Ranks and general information
First I’d like to introduce you to the various ranks being used in our board. For this purpose click on the following link:
As you can see, distinguishing between the various users is rather easy.
Please note that the respective users’ names usually have the same color as their badges – an exception to this rule of thumb are users who are wearing multiple colored badges at the same time and who may choose their name color for themselves.
Only because a user is wearing a badge, doesn’t necessarily mean he is being an admin or moderator – he could also just have used a badge as his avatar, though this is strictly forbidden and will be punished.
In order to avoid misunderstandings such as this, you should see the listing of our current staff by clicking the following link:

Rules & Penalty system
You have probably noticed that I mentioned the term punishment and I’d like to discuss this point in more detail, as it is to be considered highly important in our forum. On the one hand there is our set of rules which I strongly suggest reading, and on the other hand there is our penalty system which is used to enforce our set of rules. And here are the rules:
According to that you can find more information on our penalty system here:
Should you break the rules (Which can be adjusted in the various sections) you will be given a warning the first time (For insults or other more severe violations you can also be given an infraction immediately) and an infraction on consecutive violations.
Should you accumulate 3 infraction points, you are going to be banned temporarily. If you continue breaking the rules, expect to be banned permanently.

Elite Gold, The Black Market und Scams
After explaining two important points, I’d like to bring up a topic that might be just as important to some of you: Trading.
I would definitely like to elaborate on this and point out some important aspects, since I just assume that many of you registered merely, because we are having a lot of members, thus leading you to the assumption that this forum might be a decent source of income. Please note that this issue concerns anyone who would like to buy or sell something on this forum – no matter how little money the deal is about.
The first thing you should catch up on is our own virtual currency, Elite*Gold:
It is a virtual currency that is only valid in this Forum. There are various payment methods (Paysafecard, Ukash, etc.) to choose from when buying elite*gold, though you can also get it by trading with other users.
Trading can be conducted in our section which we provide in order for you to have place to offer goods, services or other items versus money or other goods, and search for them respectively – though this section features a specific set of rules, as mentioned before.
Please note that even though there is a set of rules specifically for this section, the general board rules which I have linked above, still apply, as they apply to each and every section without exception.
I would therefore strongly recommend reading the following thread thoroughly and heeding the given advice no matter what the person with whom you are trading says, no matter how trustworthy this person might seem – think selfishly, because you never fully know someone on the internet.
Always remain cautious: This is not a game, you are dealing with real money and real items of value, so in case of a scam, the damage is just as real – respectively a real legal complaint that will be filed against you, should you be one of these scammers. Should you’ve been scammed nonetheless and none of the advice given by our trading tips has helped you, you still have the chance of discussing the matter in one of the following sections:

Now, as nice as this may sound, it is still risky – trading virtual goods, or rather online trading in general is an extremely delicate issue, for there are a lot of people who have it in for incautious users.Quote:
The rules for a section can be found in its sticky area. Stickies can be recognized by the small thumbtack located at the right hand side of the thread right above its rating.
Should they not be in sticky area, they might as well have been posted as an announcement. Announcements are located above the sticky area – if that is not the case, a section doesn’t have any specific rules.
