To understand the rules, you must understand the forum's purpose. cs.rin.ru does not typically host pre-cracked repacks (like FitGirl or Dodi). Instead, it specializes in Clean Steam Files (CSF) and separate crack only releases.
The rule: When you upload a game, you must upload the original, untouched Steam files plus a separate folder containing the crack. You cannot merge them. You cannot repack into an EXE installer.
Why? Because the forum preserves originality. If Steam updates the game tomorrow, users only need to download a small crack update, not re-download 100GB of repacked data. Violating this file structure rule leads to thread deletion.
cs.rin.ru does not have paid premium memberships. There is no "VIP" section that instantly gives you cracks. If a user DMs you asking for Bitcoin in exchange for a "private crack," that is a scam. cs.rin forum rules
Forum rules explicitly state: "All content must be available to all registered users equally. Do not request donations for cracks."
If you see a user linking a Patreon or BuyMeACoffee for access to a crack, report them immediately. The only exception is if they are hosting large files and asking for mirror donations—and even that is heavily scrutinized.
Before discussing bans or spam, there is one rule that supersedes all others on cs.rin.ru: Read the Original Post (OP). To understand the rules, you must understand the
Every game thread on the forum begins with a first post—usually by a user named Christsnatcher or a trusted uploader. That post contains the "OP." Within the OP, you will find:
The most common reason new users are flamed or ignored is asking a question that is explicitly answered in the OP. Moderators do not tolerate laziness. If you post "Where is the download link?" and the link is in a visible box in the first post, you will likely receive a warning or a temporary ban.
This is the most strictly enforced rule on the forum. You cannot request cracks for games protected by Denuvo Anti-Tamper that are not yet cracked. The most common reason new users are flamed
Denuvo is a highly sophisticated DRM. As of the time of writing, only a few individuals (Empress, historically Codex) can crack newer versions. These cracks take months and generate extreme toxicity.
The exact rule: If a game is confirmed to have Denuvo and has not been cracked, any thread or post asking for a crack will be instantly deleted. The user will receive a permanent ban.
Why? The forum administrators are tired of the daily spam. "When is [Game X] cracked?" has been asked millions of times. The answer is always: "When it is ready, or never." Discussing bypasses, crowdfunding Denuvo cracks, or demanding updates on Empress’s status is also forbidden.
The exception: You may discuss already cracked Denuvo games (e.g., Resident Evil Village after its crack) and troubleshooting them.
