Questions

If you have a question, contact [localurl=ucp.php?i=pm&mode=compose&u=3793:66tj0gnr]hackerman1[/localurl:66tj0gnr], (or [localurl=ucp.php?i=pm&mode=compose&u=2:66tj0gnr]Arris[/localurl:66tj0gnr]) via PM and we will answer your question the best we can,
and then place it below if we think it will be asked by more members.
Please make sure your question hasn’t already been answered on the PHPBB Forum-FAQ.
Some questions are re-posted here as they include additional information that is not posted in the PHPBB Forum-FAQ.

Q: My post’s links have been changed !
What happened ?
A: You most likely had misleading links or your were linking to offensive sites.

My post has been scrambled !
Why ?
A: If your post used to be “normal” like this:

Win2008Workstation.com and its R2 counterpart are very useful sites.

They really help you convert your Windows Server into a lightning-fast workstation that can easily replace your desktop operating system.

and it turned into this:

2tna0owTisiwo80nrk.cmo nda sti 2r ocatruptner era veyr fsuule itsse. Yeht alleyr leph uyo ocntvre oury Iownwsd Erevsr ntoi a ginihnlgt-fats aktiwnsorto atth acn yalesi cplaree oyru dstpeok rtnpigaeo tessmy.

Your post most likely was offensive or was talking about warez, so a staff member scrambled it so it is unreadable.
Usually a mod will leave an explanation in your post saying why they edited it.

Note: Posts that are against the rules will normally be edited, and the links removed.
But if there is nothing useful left to read after removing the links, then the whole post will be deleted…. 😉
