Code:
❌ Asking "where can I get free cards?" — you'll get banned or scammed
❌ Posting personal info (yours or others') — instant ban
❌ Scamming other members — permanent ban + blacklist
❌ Using the same username across platforms — OPSEC failure
❌ Messaging vendors on Telegram without forum verification — get scammed
❌ Clicking links from unknown members — phishing risk
❌ Downloading files without virus scanning — common sense
❌ Bragging about illegal activities — unnecessary attention
❌ Disputing in public threads — use PM or report button
❌ Begging for reputation, VIP, or BTC — counterproductive
✅ Read before posting
✅ Search before asking
✅ Verify before trusting
✅ Encrypt before sending
✅ Think before clicking
