New Hosting Credit System ! - Is good or bad??????/

tasty
QUOTE
This is wierd, why members want their post count to rise for a post like "Thank You".


they mostly do that to get the minimum amount of posts for hosting and so thgat they can get hostring quicker

when youpost in aforum that was a no postcount fielddoes your hosting creditd still go up based on how long your post is and if so is it at the normal rate

I hate it! It just made my life miserable! I really hate it! You know I'm happy before, just posting, and posting even if it's less than 300 characters... now, my god! You know if you can't continue this hosting service and like to remove some users, just tell us! Damn this new feature... Now i will just post just to keep my account active for a few days and I will transfer my account to The Real Host

Good bye! mad.gif

if you post a post that is less than 300 hundred characters long your hosting credits still go up i think its just that your post count doesnt go up

correct me if im wrong

I think so... well at least it's that... Even if it's less than 300 characters, at least my hosting days won't be over!

Well, would you like a little protest? Because posting and posting is fine... Why did they add something like this? I mean, before, it's really the best... Now, it's worse...

i think this feature is quite good because there wont be any more spam but i liked it better when there was no hosting credits because i was inactive quite alot tongue.gif. i am a bit confused why the hosting credits go negative because to get them to 0 again we have to post even though the account was suspended. So we are posting for a suspended account which doesn't make sense at all. :S

ps. i have un-negative credits since wednesday but my account is still suspended. Do the hosting credits have to be at a certain number to unsuspend the account or is it 0?

Karlo, I wont argue over this. Because you agreed to the terms. When you had no objections while registering, I dont understand why do you have objections now! We have systematic rules here and that is one of the reasons I believe we havent gone down like others.

You wanted to know why we made this system, the reason is out of 100 members we had, only 10 were active while the rest enjoyed without posting. Members were Complaining about the SQL downtimes, uptime etc. The people responsible were those people you did not even care to contribute after getting hosting. And because of them, the ones who were really doing a good work by contributing were affected. Obviously, this is injustice to the ones who are contributing. Why should those people suffer because of the others.. Hence, I finally decided to build this system. Check out the list of members who were terminated. You will find members who were inactive over 145 days! May be this was the actual reason, you liked our service.

Your currently have 4 hosting credits. That simply gives you 4 days of inactivity limit. If in these 4 days you spend another 15 minutes at trap, you will easily get 4-5 more days. You are not adviced to make 30 posts in one day and go on a vaccation for a month. Slow and steady wins to race.wink.gif Cragllo has 27 days of credits. I still see him on the boards. While he can take a nice big leave. We cannot support members who do not want to follow the rules or who like to simply reap the resources without giving anything back in return.

Best of luck for whatever decision you take.

    access... Is this really true? If it is, would I be able to run, for example, an irc bot with the
    account? Another thing... Your web server does not gzip content. This causes more traffic to be
    generated, etc etc... Is there any chance to activate this feature? The question regarding credits
    is a fairly simple one. I'd just like to know how you assure posting quality.. I mean, the c...

    Dear hosted members, We have noticed that many members are knowingly or unknowingly breaking some

    lead to more unnecessary work for moderators and admins, 'defacement' of the foums and
    sometimes even banning of the concerned member. The rules are there and you are also there. But
    have you read them? Usually, if you have read the rules and understood them, it is not expected
