Denied How to Make Nulled Clean Boy (3-Steps)

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 :^)

Is this a joke

>Only upgraded members on activity list

There goes all of the new members who would've joined / contributed / upgraded later down the line because they won't be able to have an actual conversation with the community. Not to mention that some leechers buy prime cus it's $10

What's the point showing no avatar spam comments on the side of the forum. "Hur dur thanks for this Garry's mod I hope it works"
How would they even know when they haven't signed up, oh look normal users don't show up at the side, let's not sign up.

I made the suggestion of only people without default avatars can showup on activity feed list. This is just an aggressive approach.

3 seems to be a bit baffling, this will make the forums look dead for a lot longer than just "in the beginning". It also doesn't make people who want to contribute to the community louder, it silences them unless they pay for an upgrade? Do you work at EA by any chance?
Btw it's "leeching scum" that put NBB vaguely on any spectrum of popularity it may reside on. As much as people try to battle them, they're actually most of the new traffic these types of forums get and without that, you'd notice and cry "it's dead".

Shit if that's the type of forum that works for you then we'll keep doing what we're doing. Alright let's close this thread down :(

I'm just replying, it's not my call, but I would be pretty surprised if Aoki even considers the third one. It's essentially devaluing peoples contributions to the forums unless they pay for an upgrade.
Are leechers annoying? Yes, of course. However, NBB is in a niche where they play a rather big part in traffic numbers which is kinda important when you run ads for revenue too. It's about moderation, not just putting up a stone wall around the default user group. That affects more than leechers, doesn't it?

Tfw everyone was an unupgraded member at one point and are now discouraging new people from joining and showing up in people's feed since the site is now a pay2participate
It's that elitist attitude that makes people not want to stay here pew pew

Making someone who cares change their avatar is actually a decent requirement because it doesn't involve an investment that they may regret (unless their avatar is their dick or something)

If they want to be part of the community they will make the attempt. Why not make X amount of post unlock the ability to show up in activity. This will sort out the leechers from the community posters.

1. Idk about others but the 50 char limit isn't THAT hard to reach. Even the end of that sentence was more than 50 chars and I haven't even begun to write a proper reply.

2. I think there already is a cooldown. Only after upgrading to Prime do you get 3 whole unlocks per day, so leechers have 1 unlock every 24h. Only way to combat that would be to raise the price of an unlock to like 10 creds or 15?

3. Would completely kill the small iota of activity still present on the site. Cuddles does a good job at hammering down on the spam imho
