- The Repository admins have the rights to alter/disable/delete/archive downloads in any state (temporary/active/...) at any time (before and after activation and so on) without explicit permission of the author and without a given reason. Normally a reason is given in the "notes" field.
- The repository admins may delete downloads in any state at any time for any reason or without a reason.
- Please do not upload simple images (i.e. screenshots) anymore (except skins and other useful images), rather use the forum.
- If you unregister your account, every connection between you and your files is lost in the database. (because your user is deleted then) This means that you will loose all control over your files, in any aspect. That means also that you may not ask an admin to modify them, because you cannot prove to be the author anymore.
