Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about accounts, posting, credits and staying safe on HighLeaks.

Account and membership

How do I create an account?

Select Register in the top-right corner, choose a username, add your email and a password, then select Create account. If email verification is switched on, we'll send you a link to confirm your address.

How do I reset my password?

On the sign-in page, select Forgot password and enter your email address. We'll send you a secure link to choose a new one.

Can I change my username?

Yes. Open Settings, enter a new username and save — as long as nobody else is already using it.

Posting and forums

How do I start a new thread?

Open the forum you want to post in, select New thread, add a clear title, a description and tags, then publish. Your thread goes live for the community straight away, or after a quick review in moderated forums.

Why can't I post in some forums?

Some forums are reserved for specific groups such as VIP or V.VIP members, or for staff announcements. The new-thread page only lists the forums you can post in.

Can I edit my posts?

Yes. Open your thread or reply and select Edit to update it at any time. Please edit rather than posting again.

Reputation and credits

How does reputation work?

Members can give reputation to posts they find helpful. The more useful your threads and answers are, the more reputation you build — and it shows on your profile.

Why does reputation matter?

Reputation signals that you can be trusted. It helps your threads stand out, builds credibility as a seller and counts towards your standing in the community.

What are credits for?

Credits unlock premium threads and downloads, and you can spend them on games and other features across the site. Earn them through activity and daily rewards, or top up any time.

Moderation and safety

What should I do if I see something inappropriate?

Use the Report button on the post or thread. A moderator will review it and take action. Please don't engage with the content directly.

What happens if someone breaks the rules?

Depending on severity, staff may issue a warning, remove the post, close the thread, suspend the account or ban it permanently. See the community rules for details.

Can I appeal a moderation decision?

Yes. Open a support ticket with the details of your case and a moderator will review it, usually within 48 hours.
