CS.RIN.RU has a socialist economy based on "Thanks."
If you are a new user facing the "1 year waiting period," here is how to use the site without posting:
The forum has a caste system.
Many files on third-party hosts (MediaFire, Pixeldrain, GoFile) are password protected.
The most enforced rule on the forum is to use the search function before posting anything.
One major exception to the rules involves Green Luma (a Steam cloak tool). While the main site avoids Denuvo cracks, discussions about family sharing bypasses and Steam depot downloads using Green Luma are heavily moderated with their own rule set:
If you break this rule, veteran users will respond with a single, terrifying meme image of a dwarf hitting a computer with a hammer (the official "Use the Search Button" icon).
As written, “csrinru rules” is ambiguous; treating it as a ruleset, the most valuable improvements are clarity, examples, enforcement mechanisms, and an explicit revision process. Implementing the recommendations above will increase compliance, reduce disputes, and make the rules easier to adopt and maintain.

The CS.RIN.RU community is a long-standing forum dedicated to Steam games and underground sharing. To maintain its status and avoid being shut down, the site enforces a strict set of rules that all members must follow.
Below is a comprehensive write-up of the core regulations and community standards. 🛑 The Golden Rule: No Piracy of Russian Software
The most important rule on the forum is the absolute prohibition of sharing or requesting software developed by Russian companies.
Reasoning: The site is hosted in Russia; hosting local "pirated" content would lead to immediate legal action and site closure.
Examples: Avoid sharing games from 1C, Gaijin Entertainment, or Battlestate Games. 📜 General Conduct and Posting
To keep the threads readable and useful, the following rules apply to all posts:
English Only: In the main "Steam Games" and "Other Games" sections, you must post in English. There is a dedicated Russian sub-forum for Russian speakers.
No Begging: Do not ask for "cracks," release dates, or bypasses. Things are released when they are ready. Use the "Search Topic" feature
Search Before Posting: Always use the search function to see if a game or tool already has an active thread.
Meaningful Titles: Use clear names for new threads (e.g., [Title] - [Version]).
No Spam: Short, low-effort posts like "Thanks," "Does it work?", or "First!" are strictly forbidden. Use the "Like" button instead. 🛠️ File Sharing & Safety
CS.RIN.RU is a community of contributors. Following these safety standards is mandatory:
No Malicious Content: Uploading malware, miners, or viruses results in an immediate permanent ban.
Mandatory VirusTotal: If you share a tool or an executable (.exe), you must include a VirusTotal scan link.
File Hosts: Use reputable, long-lasting file hosts. Avoid "pay-per-click" (PPD) links or sites that require surveys to download.
Passwords: If an archive is password-protected, the password must be clearly stated (usually cs.rin.ru). 🛡️ Respect and Moderation The forum has a caste system
No Flaming: Do not insult other members, staff, or developers.
Respect Staff: Moderators have the final say. If a thread is locked, do not remake it.
Reporting: Use the "Report" button to flag rule-breaking content rather than arguing in the thread. 💡 Pro-Tips for New Users
Read the "Frequently Asked Questions" (FAQ): It contains vital info on how to use tools like CreamAPI, GreenLuma, and Goldberg Emulator.
Check the "Release" threads: Most games have a dedicated thread where clean Steam files and cracks are separated for clarity.
Be Patient: High-profile game updates take time to be uploaded by contributors.
