Now this really pisses me off, seeing blank threads, empty replies and sentences that just don't make sense all over my threads.

These people do not deserve to be here, they lower the quality of the threads and the forum and just generally piss the great community members here off.

Worst of all by the time it gets noticed they have their 15 posts to get the stuff they came here to leech, I notice these people within the first 3 posts they do as I am very active here and report immediately but in most cases by the time the report is seen by the awesome yet busy mods here. again they get what they want.


What we can do.


so yes we cannot ban members as we are not moderators but we can help cut this shit out. If you see a leecher, please report straight away so we can maintain the high quality community we have here.

When a member introduces them selves, say hi. make them aware of the rules posts and the support thread, this will ease so much tension on staff. Sometimes new members don't read the rules, then they get reported, then they get banned, then they appeal the ban claiming they didn't know and then they get unbanned.

This takes up staff time and if they are made aware of this it can all be reduced!

*also make sure new contributors hide content, super important to prevent leechers, I do run through this with at least 5 new members a day.

Thanks for reading all, hope your having a good weekend

Leechers are like cockroaches, they need something in this case it's not a place to live, it's nulled files. Then they leave or are banned.
There will always be leechers as long as nulling and the internet exists. There's no way to prevent them from coming, only a way to get rid of them.

This guy gets it.

You can't just stop leechers, IMO you have to change the way nulledbb works instead of replying to view hidden content you have to actually do something

wasn't the majority that keep these site like this active are leechers ?

Or maybe just click the report button? I guess moderators checks it (if its that's the case)

Don't think it'd make much of a difference.. I saw a 2 month old account spamming their way to 15 posts to leech the other day... besides, the more of a hassle we make it to deter leechers, the more likely it is that we're throwing the baby out with the bathwater and losing potentially good members in the process.


We just need is to get ahold of a few precogs for a pre-crime/pre-leeching division like in Minority Report... easy peasy.
