The official language of the forum is English. While the domain is Russian (.ru), the international community uses English to ensure everyone understands technical discussions.
Allowed:
Strictly Forbidden:
The "Scene" (organized piracy groups like Razor1911, FLT, HOODLUM) have their own distribution channels. cs.rin.ru has a rule: Do not repost Scene releases if they are already available on common indexers (Predb, SRR). cs.rin forum rules
Instead, link to the original NFO file. The forum prefers original cracks made by members over simple reposts of Scene material. If you post a direct copy of a Scene ISO you downloaded from Usenet, a moderator will delete it and tell you to contribute something original.
This is the single most common mistake newcomers make.
6.1. Self-Promotion: If you are releasing a tool, fix, or guide that you created, you are welcome to share it. However, do not use the forum solely as a platform to drive traffic to your own website or YouTube channel for financial gain. The official language of the forum is English
6.2. Third-Party Links: When posting links to third-party sites (e.g., file hosting or reference sites), ensure they are safe. Link shorteners that obscure the destination URL (e.g., adfly, linkbucks) are discouraged and may be removed if they present a security risk.
6.3. Technical Support: When asking for technical support, provide as much detail as possible regarding your system specifications, operating system, and the specific error message or behavior you are experiencing. Do not simply say "it doesn't work."
Users often confuse "Scene rules" (the rules of warez release groups like CODEX, RUNE, or Razor1911) with CS.RIN.RU rules. The forum rules explicitly forbid nuking a release on the forum. In the Scene, groups "nuke" (declare a release bad) if it has a bad crack. On CS.RIN.RU, that behavior is banned. Many tools on the forum (like Goldberg Steam
The Rule: Do not post “This release is nuked because it has a missing texture.” Just post a fix or move on. Drama about proper vs. improper releases is forbidden. The forum is for fixing problems, not complaining about them.
Many tools on the forum (like Goldberg Steam Emulator or SSE) allow you to "emulate" Steam. The rule is: Do not ask for help debugging these tools if you are using a pirated copy of a game that has native multiplayer. If you want to play a cracked game online, you must read the 300-page thread on that specific game and figure it out yourself. Nobody will hold your hand.
