Warez section must have some limits..
Limits per thread making.
Ex. You can only make 5 threads a day.

Or simply no post increment in the said section.

Reason.?

I just saw a user with 470+ posts today.
The sad thing is, he only have 200+ posts yesterday.
Warez section is being spammed atm, and expect more spam posts in the near future.

You see, I could post this many IF requested. These dumbasses are posting anything on any Warez site. I mean, if that's what Plobby wants, whatever, but seriously? Cluster fuck + abuse like hell.

Or just remove posts count from warez section

Google is still here.

remove the ost count. leaving it in will cause nothing but spam because of the act that some person requested the Warez. Its not like the warez from the original LG, its on the way to be abused terribly.

remove post count, or the cluster of fuckiness will continue.

If they really need warez, they'll post it.
If they want warez, they'll request it, got what I'm saying.?
Seriously, UG isn't like the old UG.
To get into the old UG would need 450 posts + an approval.
Now, you only need 500 posts, which you can get by just abusing the warez section -.-

I talked with plobby about this and he said that people would not post as much warez causing the site not to get more members.

I agree with no post count. Limiting the posts allowed is stupid. Disabling post count will decrease warez, but it will actually decrease shit warez and increase good warez (at least, increase the ability to find them).

Also, add a Thanks system, disable LGG per post/thread, and only give them LGG per Thanks. Thus, incentive for posting is LGG (not post count), so people will still post, but nobody will spam because nobody is going to Thanks spam. They'll deliberately look for and post good warez.

I like your idea, but do you think that the thanks system wouldn't get abused too.? o.0

I don't think this will get abused as long as there are no benefits or rewards or anything for "thanks". As long as they are just there for show. And only one thanks per thread per person.

Definately remove the postcount from Warez section. Now getting UG Silver is no big thing aswell.

This idea is what I'm going with.

12/31/2009 3:59:13 AM Eric: yes


Please stop posting just test and post warez to see if it even has post count anymore.
#17
It doesn't, see how my post count is down to 300s?

Stop mini-modding. Maybe if you read the topic, you'd notice it's about alternatives to post counts, not just whether or not post counts should be enabled.

There's no possible way for it to be abused. So no.
#19
Unless you made a bunch of accounts, got them all to 50 posts, then spammed thanks for your posts. But still, it wouldn't be to hard to control I think.
#20
Except no one would bother doing that when they can just make a single post of a valid warez file(s) and get 900 thanks. 50 posts for one (and likely ban) or 1 post for a million. Ehhh, the decision is harddd.
#21
you have an extremely good point here it does seem a little crowded. maybe have it so people can upload only what others have requested?
#22
Like I said, it's not much of a downside. The problem being we'd really need to hit home that people need to hit the thanks button. I know it's a big problem in a lot of Warez forums.
#23
Just make it so that you can only download the file if you hit Thanks. Many warez sites do that.
#24
Really? I've never heard of a code like that. Though I guess it does kinda make sense.
#25
If we remove post counts its just gonna make very little warez you know
#26
Someone didn't read the topic. :D
#27
I like it I don't see what you guys mean people are spamming it. I think people deserve 1 post for a ware the only thing that I think would be spammed is music, only because each person at least has 300+ Songs.
