Overall Forum Rules
Help and Requests
All help/requests should be placed in the main section which is located here and someone who can assist you with help/request will do so when it is seen. Also before making your thread you should adhere to the Complete Sectional Rules as your Request may have been answered already if it pertains to Custom Firmware.
Downloads and Tutorials
These sections may have there own subsequent rules applied to them, please also keep them in mind when creating a thread in these sections, especially the Downloads section.
Clan Recruitment
Recruiting members for your clan is acceptable as long you provide specific details on your clans requirments to join and that you do not advertise another forum and/or website that requires members to join before the have gained membership into your clan.
GameSharing
GamSharing is also an acceptable practice but please note however that Sony has cracked down on GameSharing and has limited majority/all content released after March 2012 to only one extra Console. This means that GameSharing content and members willing to take part in GameSharing could be difficult to come by because of these restrictions, so patience is a key aspect in this area.
PlayStation 3 Jailbreaks and Custom Firmware
It has come to my Attention that the popularity of Jail-breaking has risen and has in turn seen an influx of New Members coming to this section and repeatedly Requesting for the Custom firmware needed to Run Jailbreaks.
This issue has arisen from the So Called jailbreak Videos seen on YouTube which give the viewer a reasonable hope because:
a) The Video shows what seems to proof of the jailbreak being installed and working
b) A Download link to a free host service such as media.fire
Whilst the above arguments are few, it is not disputable that there may be jailbreaks out there on the Internet available for The PS3 current firmware but relying on YouTube to find an appropriate source is not a viable solutions as it endangers your Computers Security and Your PS3 Account Data.
The Best Possible Solution to this Issue I can Give that is Reasonable is to be patient and what for an Experienced member such as myself and/or @Diminished to Post a secure and safe Custom Firmware than has been Proven to be safe by not only Us but by MPGH Staff such as Minions and/or Moderators.
Although this may not seem to be the best of ways it is sure the safest, if you wish to continue your search for Custom Firmware I can only offer this one last solution, Stick to Public Forums such MPGH as it is the Vast members which ensure the security of everyone on that forum. Not only this but it also provides a more reliable source as there are more people looking for possible the same thing you are.

Prestige Services
To make this a discussion of fairness and morales I believe that any/all Prestige Services should be ABSOLUTLY FREE.
What does this mean?
This means that any person who offers to do the prestige hack for anybody should offer it FREE of charge/ FREE of In-Game Killing numbers (I.E - Headshot's, Kill Streaks, Boosting(Power Leveling), etc)
Why am I saying this?
Prestige services involves giving you Playstation Network Username and Password to someone who you probably have not meet, this is why I am saying this, it is a risky and dangerous trust that you put in someone's hands
What type of Scam's are Involved?
The type of scams that are involved in lending your PSN Account to unknown individuals is they use your Credit Card Details and Purchase everything from the Playstation store/Internet. They could also change your password and even download all the games that you have Purchased
[B]What can I do to prevent this type of Scamming?[B]
If you are going to engage in the use of a Prestige Service, get the person who is running the service to setup a webcam, so you can view what they are doing at all time's, and when the Service has been completed, make sure they delete you account from there Playstation.
This method does have flaws, for example; the Person who is in-charge of the prestige service may write down all your details and then attempt to log back into your account, but don't worry, I have thought of a way to counter-act this flaw
Counter-Act Methods
Reset all account information (what does this mean?)
*Change Password Details
*Change Bank Account Information
*Change E-mail Address
*ETC
How Can I Safely Engage In a Prestige Service?
If you are still sure that you want to use a prestige service, check these few details before commencing in your final decision;
*Date the User Joined
*Post Count
*How many times they have been Thanked
*There Reputation
If you are still unsure, you can gain advice from a Global-Moderator
To some it all up
Prestige Services are a risky and dangerous operation and should only be used if you have absolutely no clue on how to prestige hack, this services are classed as " USE AT YOUR OWN RISK " so please think twice before using prestige services and if the Pro's overcome the Con's.
