Terms of Use
The rules for using CS16Zone: accounts, what you post, bans, server listings and boosts.
Updated October 22, 2026
By using CS16Zone you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the site.
The service
CS16Zone is a free fan project with a live Counter-Strike 1.6 server monitor, rankings, a forum, communities and a game client. It is not affiliated with Valve. We run it “as is” and can change or remove features at any time.
Your account
- One person, one account. You must be 16 or older.
- Keep your password safe. You are responsible for anything done with your account.
- You can delete your account at any time in Account settings.
What you post
What you write stays yours. You give us permission to show it on CS16Zone. Don’t post:
- spam, ads for other monitors, or links to malware or “boosted” downloads
- insults, threats, hate speech or other people’s private data
- cheats, stolen accounts or anything you have no right to share
Moderators and server owners can remove posts in their own areas.
Servers on the list
Anyone can add a public CS 1.6 server. We flag servers that pass bots or fake players off as real, redirect players, or copy another server’s name. Flagged servers stay visible, but they get no rank and can’t be boosted. The owner can ask us to review the flag.
Boosts
A paid boost puts a server where more players see it, in the list and in the client. It doesn’t change the rank, which only comes from real players. If a server breaks the listing rules, its boost ends with no refund. Once payments open: if we shut down the service or remove a boost by mistake, we refund the unused time. Other refunds are up to us, within 14 days of purchase.
Bans
We can suspend or ban accounts and remove servers that break these terms. If we need to protect players, we may do it without warning.
Liability
We try hard to keep the data right, but server data comes from the servers themselves and can be wrong or late. As far as the law allows, we are not liable for any loss from using the site.
