Garry's Mod Backdoors Considered Violation

Hi, I'm going to cover a suggestion that I think should be added. Let's talk about backdoors in GMod leaks. I know everyone hates backdoors, but I believe the main way to stop them is by making it a rule. These backdoors should be considered a violation of the rules, just like malware, and should carry the same punishment when a member has proof and reports it. Backdoors become problems for people's servers because they give unwanted players access, causing a lot of issues. I want what's best for this community—a place to find helpful and useful GMod leaks, not leaks that have a bunch of backdoors in them.

Rule 0205 states: "Any attempt to infect another member with malware, viruses, backdoors, or link to a phishing site."

Rule 0203 states: "Any type of fake program or software that contains malware, viruses, backdoors, or similar."

Both of these rules are similar to GMod backdoors, which should be added to one of these rules or, at least, considered a violation.

Yes, i think that would be a great idea, thanks for sharing and hope it makes the chief think

Amazing idea. The amount of times I have had a server with people on and it gets backdoored..

i like it , work very good , thx

This is a good idea. Please do it!

The rules mentioned also apply to backdoored content. We remove threads every day when they are reported to our team. If you find any in violation please report them and we'll look into them and remove them. Some members of the community actively report backdoored content daily to us. This is against the rules and falls within the rules mentioned already it just doesn't specify GMod other wise we'd need to list every know backdoor. Feel free to report any you see.
