Does the rule 11 applies to non-commercial forums?

I posted a post on a device forum that contained links to a 4pda forum containing some ROMs for my device and instructions. This morning I just found out that my post was closed since it violated a subsection of rule 11 and that being: "Encouraging members to participate in forum activities on other phone related sites is prohibited."
Does this applies if my post didn't had any commercial links? There are a lot of 4pda links on XDA and 4pda is not really an XDA competitor.

AFAIK the website require no registration at all to download . I wasn't registered when I downloaded some ROM's from there

help me ! my IMEI turned into a "0".

i deleted all partitions in qfil, after repair i boot into my phone, and discovered that my IMEI turned into a "0".

Hello, sorry for interrupting. What's the variant of your V50? If it's the V500N LGU Korean variant, could you help me by uploading the dump and rawprogram XML files? I erased my whole partitions too, and I tried to fix it by flashing the Sprint variant dump. Sadly, now I can't flash any stock ROM. Neither the American nor the Korean one.
As for your question, your IMEI is gone because you erased the EFS partition. Most people won't give the partition because it's private.

Samsung A03s preloader loop

I managed to brick my Samsung Galaxy A03s and all I have figured out is that the preloader connects to my computer for 2 seconds and then disconnects for 10 seconds.
I have tried at least 8 tutorials on how to fix it but they are either for another phone or use apps that don't work, cost money or give me viruses, is there any way I can fix my phone?
I had an sm-a037f with Android 11 before I failed to root.
Solution:
I used https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...oader-usb-vcom-and-cycling-rebooting.4322581/
for sp flash tool and drivers and for the auth i'm still looking for a safe de-auth software or file.

Why are they not?
I checked the rules for XDA and there is nothing about iaastream.com being a bad website or not allowed to be used.
Can you at least give a reason for the deletion or the name of the rule that was broken.

@nofyof Thank you very much for reading the XDA Forum Rules again. And I'm certainly happy to provide you with both: The reason and the rule, although the reason would already be sufficient.
Besides that Malwarebytes Browserguard already blocks the site, it's simply a crappy hacking warez site, which contains mostly cracks and that we don't want to have linked on our private website.
6. Do not post or request warez.
If a piece of software requires you to pay to use it, then pay for it.
