That would be in the AUP. It doesn't blatantly say "we don't allow your to post information on illegally using other people's programs, nor does it explicity state that we don't allow you to create systems that allow you to spam other sites" but we do say things that on a more global level indicate that such activities are not tolerated here.
It is kind of like having a rule that says "no stealing." Such a a rule would cover robbing banks without the need to say "no robbing banks".
A good rule of thumb is -- if what you are asking were public information to everybody in the world with your name tied to it, would you still post it? In the case of 'hacking a game," would you make your post if the owner of the source to that game were here and could see your actual name?
Rules didn't change with the upgrade. If in doubt - use common sense..... ;) :)
Brad!
