    Default Bring back the 25 posts rule !!!!

    It seem's alot of our regular trading post visitor's (including me) Are in favour of bringing back the 25 post rule were you will need 25 meaningfull posts before you can enter the trading zone.
    This is why I think it is a good idea,
    1. less of a risk of us ending up with someone who enjoy killing our links.
    2. the requests thread doesnt get full of people with less then 10 posts saying gimme these games, then complaining when they dont get uploaded.
    3. We wouldnt get all these new threads every day asking for tons of games.

    Might sound harsh, but it's true.

    If you are in favour here's the place to say so. Hopefully the rule may be re-enforced.
    Raaagghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..... hh..

    Well im mostly worried about the large number of members with '0' Posts that spend large amounts of time in the links thread.

    What is annoying they put it directly underneath the download now option

    But remember it is not definate that someone is blocking links, mabye YSI is having trouble.

    It would be good to see this rule back non the less.

    I may have less than 25 posts but as soon as my account was verified to this forum (which took 6 months to do - check my join date), I started fulfilling BitTorrent requests an uploading random PSOne games to the tracker. So I'm guessing this is a good start?

    If this rule does go into effect, please don't block me since i returning the favor by helping others

    Just send time in the forum for a short while, then. Show your opinions in the free for all, and stuff.

    Oh, and yes that is very good for helping others.

    There where many discussions about this subject and there are various reasons why the rule is gone. One of the main reasons is that people will spam as hell if they know that they'll need to reach an amount of posts to download games.


    Maybe we should give some new idea's a chance to see the daylight , and find another way to keep leechers out
