Below are the rules for the Programming forum:

• Recruiting
  This is not a recruiting forum. This section is meant for questions, discussion, and help with programming related issues for which you must show effort of your own. Recruiting others to create something for you, or asking for help with a problem for which you have shown no effort, will result in your topic being closed.
  
  
• No programs dealing with sensitive information
  We do not allow custom programs to be distributed that deal with sensitive user information. Therefore, we do not allow programs that require logins to existing sites/services, custom Internet browsers, programs that deal with credit card details, etc.
  
  
• Gambling
  Discussion of programs that involve gambling for any type of goods is not allowed. This includes virtual goods such as game currency or items.
  
  
• Post a virus scan!
  When sharing a program you must provide at least 1 picture of the program and a virus scan (e.g. by using [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] ).
  
  
• Cracked software & product keys
  Posting, sharing or discussing cracked software or product keys is not allowed.
  
  
• Malicious programs/source code
  Posting, sharing or discussing malicious programs or source code that is used to harm or disrupt computers/servers/etc. is not allowed.
  
  
• Hacking & phishing
  Topics about hacking or phishing are not allowed. Exception: if you are asking for ways how to protect your application, you may share methods and code in order to enhance the application's security. It is not allowed to name or share programs that are used to hack applications (see the rule above).

And as always, the site rules still apply.

Not following these simple rules will result in a warning added to your account and possibly a posting ban. Also, your topic or post will be closed or deleted without notice. If you have any questions, feel free to contact any staff member for assistance.

Note: This is also the appropriate forum for coding/scripting related topics, such as web development (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc).

Posting tip: tag your topic title
This is not required, but consider providing your topic title with a tag. This way your topic can attract the right people and it helps them to quickly understand what your topic is about. You can simply use square brackets for this. Examples:

• [C#] Xbox App 1.0, what could I improve?
  
• [Java] Minecraft plugin keeps crashing
  
• [PHP/MySQL] Error when connecting to database

Have fun!
