1. Reduce character limit to 10-20. (50 chars puts off many users and they have the mentality of needing to make an HQ post or not post at all). Let's try to keep things more casual.
2. 15 posts will get you only ONE free download. You must upgrade to increase download limit and have a cool down period to repeat. Download limit depends on upgrade tier.
3. Only upgraded members show up on activity list. (This keeps the leeching scums quiet, and people who really want to be part of the community louder. Could this make the forum look more dead im the beginning, sure. But we need a fresh start and we need to clean this bih.)
Edit: Oof some peeps don't like #3, so lets take it down a notch. Once user reaches x amount of posts user will show up in activty feed :^)
