    Hi,

    I am not sure if this site is breaking the TOC of Adsense, i reported it to google 2-3 times during the last 2 weeks but no action were taken. This site provide vBulletin/IPB customers only hacks and scripts to its members, it even preety new not many posts but i does contaction hack and script which are for paid members only.

    I was wonder if this is legit to use adsense? If not could you help me in reporting it... As adsense is seems like ignoring my email and repoting messages. Please do check and if tell me if it is right to use adsense on such sites ?

    http://nevlo.com/?styleid=1
    Code (markup):

    If you find it wrong too, it would nice if you can report it to google, may be if more people complain they might look in to the site.


    Thanks

    ITDevil

    Dude, that is not "hacks" as in "illegal" hacks. It's a forum to help people learn how to write code and modify the code of programs that they've installed on their 'OWN' websites. The people who write the programs that these people are "hacking" fully support people coming up with "hacks" to improve their code. This is not an illegal hacking site, this is an open source coding site.

    You should probably email google to "un"report this and apologize for hassling them over something you didn't understand.

    Yea, huge difference between "hacks" (as in exploits) and "hacks" as in mods.

    I own a copy of vBulletin and i think i do understand these thing. No offence...

    Did you see this site? They are giving a Nulled Version of vBulletin 3.6.0/3.5.4, Impex nulled. Which I do not think are FREE or Open Source.

    2ndly the hacks, if they are open source and legal to share why then vBulletin.org allow normal users who do not have Vbulletin license to download them from their site?

    3rd, this site is provide free skins from many well known sites such as extremepixels??? If I go to extremepixel site to get a skin, then a skin cost about 30$???

    You still want me to apologize and take back the report???

    I can do that, but that seem unfair that i running 100% paid copy of the script and its content do not get approved for the Adsense and a illegal site get approved...

    Let me just get is clear, do you all mean i should let this illegal site alone? though it is not like they are Hacking / Cracking softwares. But thought they distributing a software which is worth 160$. i will stop posting on this topic but i just do not understand why the poster here are in favor to leave a site which has illegal stuff on it to earn money from Adsense.

    No one said we are in favor .... but there is like billions of sites like this on the net .

    if u want to report them go ahead :) good luck .

    report them to google , report them to the company , report them to there host ...

    how many hour you will pass on this ?

    What i'm trying to say , is that you did what u have to do , u reported them and google did nothing ... why to waste more time ...

    just put that time working on ur sites .

    this is my 0,0002 cents :p

    i'm off now .

    sure people do living out of Adsense, but to earn money the right way is better. Isnt it?

    I just found out that admins are Super Mods at another community call waushare and these admin and share sell stolen Credit Cards / Paypals ??? Just by chance i had ealier posted about waushare having my creditcard info on their forums aswell...

    So in away i do not feel now even seeing this site online, as i am quite sure they got the site up from someonez stolen creditcard / paypal account.

    I understand how you would be upset and think this is unfair, but...

    They don't allow mods and hacks on their site, because they have set up a totallly different website for that purpose (vbulletin.org). Please see their instructions found on this page:

    http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/announcement.php?f=93

    "Source code modifications (hacks) > Use vBulletin.org for this
    "
    Template modifications (mods) to change layouts > Use vBulletin.org for this"


    There, anyone with skill can "mod" their script, and "hack" an add on for their script, and other people can download everything for free.

    Also note that on the .org site, vbulletin states that whoever "authors" these mods and hacks are considered the copyright owners of the "mods" and "hacks", which means that the "hackers" can do whatever they want with it, including set up free downloads for their "mods" and "hacks" on their own website.

    Instead of putting so much energy into whether others should be denied adsense like you were, maybe it would be more constructive if you found out why you were not approved, worked to fix the problems, and reapplied for an account? Adsense does give people second and third chances.

    Ok, leave the Mod Hack things a side, you are still ignorong the fact they are distributing a vBulletin 3.6.0 and Invision Power Board Scripts ?


    about my getting no approved at google was this, they said i have new site i should wait some time i have decent ammount of traffic and should submit my site again.
    http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/faq.php?faq=vb_faq#faq_new_faq_item

    i think this clear that hacks are not to be provided unless you have legit licence from vBulletin.

    Just by the way, you can register a account a vB ORG but you can not download hack/mod unless you are verified vBulletin License holder. they have siteup entirely different domain for hack and modification but the DB to verfiy is still the same.

    All you probably have to do to get an approved account is start a silly blog on blogger.com, post every day for a week, and submit it with a new application.

    i find this quite funny actually...This guy itdevil is complaining about a site that is not only probably hosting a nulled version of vbulletin but is posting illegal vbulletin skins, mods, hacks, the whole nine yards, but better yet i just checked and he's a super mod on the site lol...what's up with that...i can understand reporting a site like that for obvious reasons...altho idk if you'd report to google it'd probly be to vbulletin, but if you're gonna get mad about a site with 30ish members why are you a super mod on there? it doesn't make sense?

    hummm , nice catch .

    and there is like 4.38% probability that they are different person :)

    let's say ITdevil wanted to check in google to see if someone is using this username ... and he found the forum ...

    Thank you commados, and this happened. I was just sitting around getting bored and thought to see who else itdevil is so found this site in another one. Just because that person have name nickname as mine doesn’t mean it’s me. The fact is I am not that person. If you see logically a SuperMod on a forum might never want to report his own community as fake will he?

    unbri, please think of other possibilities as well, Internet is free and serves on 1st comes 1st purposes, I have seem many forums with itdevil nick that doesn’t mean I all those person are actually me. I am sorry, if you miss understand just because the resemblance of my nickname.

    Anyway, Mod can close this thread Please… :)

    Thank you everyone.
