It doesn't exactly say in the terms so

Can we discus cheatcodes for gaming?

For single player, certainly. For internet games no.

okay here is another one of my dumb questions.....but why not internet games?

Well I was trying to be general because I don't do any real gaming. But for an example, in Warcraft II you could type something in and get more gold. Thats what I'd consider a cheat code, or stuff for consoles. But for stuff like CS online we don't want to be telling people how to cheat/hack. I almost said singleplayer: yes multiplayer: no. But then I thought if you were playing some local lan game with your buddies that would be ok.

So maybe I should say it like this - yes, unless its a violation of the established rules of wherever you are playing.

Forum policy, I believe. It is this way on most forums.

That's cool! Guess that is what Google is for eh?

I reckon cheat codes are like what SNGX1275 said. You type in something, and something happens. I don't think there are any cheat codes like that in multiplayer games.

Whereas, if you're talking about hacks, which are changing gamefiles, or how to scam people on the internet, thats a whole different story.

If you're not violating any rules of the game, I think its allowed here

Thanks guys!

To the gaming forum I go!
