I see the issue, i made a rant about it yesterday. There are way too many leechers and not enough High quality members trying to get involved in the community. People mostly come here to leech. I think we should make it so they have to meet a certain criteria in order to access the leaks. I know we have something similar already but it needs to be fortified. I have seen other communities use a Leech Meter which pretty much creates a ratio of how much they leak / contribute outside of the leak sections. I'm not sure if this would really benefit Nulled so we have to think outside the box and maybe implement something that pretty much forces people to contribute and get involved before they can actually access the leak sections. If we were to bump up the amount of posts they needed to reach these sections it would just create spam and chaos within the community. So this is going to be a little tricky but if we put our minds together we can probably think of something that can benefit the whole community.

We've upped the requirements twice. Leech meter is completely useless.

"pretty much forces people to contribute"
Impossible unless Aisaka invents an AI that understands what each post is and decides if its high quality or not.

We can't get rid of leechers, but we can get more active members which are here for the lounge, usergroups etc.

I stumbled on this site when I was researching xenforo and was astounded at how many people dedicate their time to distribute free copies of it online (and how enjoyable it is to browse a site as beautiful as this the silvery whites of facebook start to kill my eyes eventually). I must admit that it's no wonder people are here just to leech off of you guys. It's obvious that 90% of people who stumble on this site did it just like me: Google for some software that you have to pay for and add "free" or "download" at the end and boom, here I am, still wanting the software and if it takes 15 posts to get it instead of laying down some ca$h mony, spam is the only option.

For a community like this, you just need some kind of "hook" to separate the people who are actually insterested in this site from those who just come to hit "download" as fast as humanly possible?

I fully agree. I wouldn't tone down the leaks too much because that's what this forum thrives on at the moment, but the forum could be getting a much bigger audience if it was to open up a little.

instead of lowering leaking you could possibly add a couple of gaming server or what not, add a shop or something.

Most people including me just come for leaks... but idk

I personally think that ppeople who are here to just leech aren't dealt with quick enough countless times over the last couple of days i've reported spammers and no action has been taken they've reached their 15 post and claimed two unlocks in the process and now you probably wont see them again..... Personally i think the post limit before you can do anything should be raised and perhaps have more staff who will in real time be able to stop the spammers perhaps up to 50 posts before you can unlock if they want the leak that much you'll stay and make 50 decent posts.

Also i've read the forum rules and I have to say they're basically just ignored so many questions in the lounge about who likes burgers or pizza better i mean really who gives a shit? it's not a burning question being asked by millions of people it just spam and theres tonnes of threads which are similar....

I did something like this with Invision Power Board before,it scanned posts for key words and flagged them as potential spam, the drawback is that it required at least 3 people to monitor what is and isn't spam manually, because i didn't want the scanner automatically deleting within the threshold, but generally 80% was spam to get their post count up.
