Chen, after posting the above message, I continued viewing the forums and after a few minutes I noticed one of your posts in a thread. Link is here.

If only 5 out of 200+ new posts per day are mods asking for license info, we are in really good shape.
My main guideline for the members would be:
Only answer questions when they are posted in the appropriate forums.
Pirates will often try to post on open forums to get attention there. If that's the case, trust me one of the moderators will soon find it and either close the thread or remove it.

Members will not be able to see who is licensed and who is not, and there's no room for discussion on that point.
This was decided a long time ago, and the answer is final. (at least currently )
I would also like to let people see who has entered their name in the form and not, but there are issues of privacy here that I won't go into.
Sorry.

Allowing guests to post will only make the chaos bigger, so I can safely rule out that option.

I know that in the first week or so a lot of users, including pirates, were very confused regarding how to download hacks or post requests and such.
But I do think the amount of these posts has dramtically dropped.
Instead, I get about 20 e-mails per day only from people who "can't activate my account". I have to deal with each and every one of them, and it's not fun.

Do you really find ignoring 5-10 per day hard?

P.S. Sorry for the big messages and all these questions. I must drive you crazy some times...

I hope these posts aren't as long as they appear to be in this text area.

LoL werd...

Chen, must I first ask the user to visit the vB.org Form and enter their username, to show that they are licensed, before I assist them? Because I know the information the user requires, but if I'd be breaking the rules by doing that, I would like to know so that I do not break them

"Legally", you can do whatever you want. And if you wish, helping pirates.
Morally, I'm sure you understand you won't be too popular among other members, and eventually you will get away.
We don't appreciate members that help pirates, either.

PS. Could you tell me if this user is a licensed member? I cannot know if he has entered his username on the vB.org Form or is a pirate. If he is a pirate, I apologise and will not assist him anymore... I did not know, just wanted to help.
