I'm gonna be honest, why do I have to share something to this forum when I just gave it 15 posts?
It's just absurd, and I'm gonna have to discourage people from joining this forum. It's one of the worst.
Just let people download the stuff when they have the credits for it. For real? Come on.
This is one of those forums that is just not gonna make it to the best. It's a downgrade to be honest.
Also don't even think of warning or banning me, it's freedom of speech and if you take that away, then it's a
right that is taken away. I'm very honest right here.

Edit: Just to clear things up, change a few things for the better. Trust me on this.
This was supposed to go in another section, sorry about that.

Another thing I want to add, stop focusing on Leecher and start focusing on people who make threads where the link is outdated.

Alright, never mind. Forget what I said.

Just my 2 cents. Your opinion bro.

Actually if it weren't for the "rules" I wouldn't have joined or participated. I would have just leeched off the stuff and gone like I've done with all the others.

If the forum was junk, then just leave and leech somewhere else. There's plenty out there.
and if I didn't get value from here, I wouldn't have upgraded either.

Oh well, take it for what its worth. But nice to be able to post a different viewpoint.

You sound like an entitled baby. Complaining that the rules here "are unfair and suck waah". The reason that you have to share something (I'm not sure if you actually have to. I know a lot of people who didn't have to.) Is to prevent spammers, leechers, and 4 year olds from not getting what they want. Because why should the site reward people for being incompetent, and spamming posts such as "omg thanks my guy ur so Kool aaaaaaaa".

I'm not saying you're doing that, but that's why these rules are in place. If you're going to complain about that, you can leave this "horrible" forum. I'm sure there are many other sites that would love to just have a new member join, and then leave after 10 minutes because they never got involved with the community.

There are people who can't control if the link goes down or not. There are people who try to reupload them, and the staff does it's best to moderate it. If you open a link that is down, you can message a staff member and get your 8 credits back.
Boo hoo.

Maybe instead of complaining, you can do what everybody else does and contribute to the community. Maybe become a part of the community, even for a little bit. But you had to go make this thread in a fit of rage, and then say "don't you dare warn me about this. It's my right to say this."

You obviously didn't read the rules. ?

The reason why I was about to download from this forum, is because I got my result of what I was looking for in this forum.
The point of the leaks is to get downloaded, not just to stay there on link. That's my viewpoint of the situation. Also I understand that the forum does it to get activity, and your post makes a lot of sense over the fact that if they just made the link to all to see then they would just leave, but there could have been another strategy such as being that people could make five posts to earn credits and then download the leak that they are looking for, then when they need something else, like themes or plugins, then they have to make more posts to earn credits, but this "15 posts" is too much and will cause a lot of spam that will in the end just chase people away (not everyone). People want to be on a clean forum, not one that is full of spam and outdated links. Fifteen posts is a lot and lots of people will just spam to get there, if it was five or less, than they would have actually get a bit in the conversation if you know what I mean.

Is it that hard to share one thing in returns for literally thousands of leaks? Jfc.

For your information, I'm not one of those people that just leaves the community for downloading stuff, I tend to stay on the communities that releases good things. I might have sound a bit on the top, but that's because I was angry at the fact that I had to go through fifteen posts (That was of High Quality), and then be presented with a message saying that I'm looking like a Leecher. It's not as if I would have just leave (I'm still here). I got my download link and I ain't leaving. Also the links that goes down, I understand, I would have thought the link stayed dead for some time. Just please take note that people who search stuff on the internet and then finds a download, they don't want to go through the hastle of posting on a forum, they just want to download, some of them don't even really use forums.

If you plan on staying with a community then why are you complaining about the post requirement in the first place? Look at me, I have like 6k posts. I get the first 15 are annoying and shit, and then you realize you need to get credits. But if it weren't for those 15 posts, I would've just left. There are reasons why this limit is here.

It's a very complicated situation. I understand the credits system and I agree with it, but just in my opinion I think that fifteen posts is a recipe for spam disaster. I would have made it more on the lines of "5 Posts & 1 Thread", that way people have something extra to talk about and the chance of spam decreases. Rather sacrifice ten posts for one thread that could create a twenty to hundred post thread. Just my view of this.

Let's say you own a restaurant. Your resturant is very unique and has some of the rarest cuisines in the world. However, you don't just want regular folks coming in (who have not established themselves). You want to set a high standard for your high end resturant. So you set rules in place. You must dress casually along with dark jeans/slacks and sport coat. Fancy. You want people to match your resturant and hopefully they come back as a repeat customer and contribute to our menu items.

If this resturant isn't for you, you can find this cuisine elsewhere.

But we sincerely want you to join us.

Listen.

I joined this forum a few months ago and my only intention was to unlock leaks and leave.
(I am different now because if I wasn't I would be on that fat ban list.)

The system is there to prevent people from just taking.
Sure, it may be a pain in the ass to make 15 posts and then share something but it ensures that people
at least contribute if they are going to take.

Anyways,
This forum is more than just leaks.
If there was no system to prevent leechers I would've probably left 2 days after I joined.

I am still here because I realized that there is more than just leaks and there are some cool areas to discuss stuff
like Gaming etc.

Sure. Leaks are a big part of this forum but this isn't a place where you can just take without contributing.

You should be here if you want to be here, Make some good posts (Not random bullshit), share something cool, Get your leaks and
feel free to check out other sections for different stuff.

If not, Stop bitching and fuck off.

Have a good day.

EDIT:
If there is a post for a leak and the link is down, Ask the person to re-upload it and if they don't,
There is a Report button.
