A very simple answer to your question; They just don't read the requirements! A lot of people are too lazy to read all the information they need in order to participate on Trap 17 forums and earn their site hosting.

Yea as Mich wrote they just don't read rules and they are lazy or they are from country where are not english and they just trying to get something for free. Get hosting credits is pretty simple when you know english and something about pc.
Then I dont know really why they just dont write some long posts where are credits big more as for short.
At first I was too writing short posts and it was really hard to get 30 credits with that writing but truefusion just help me with advice and I havent got problems now
Now message to all newbies:
If you want free hosting and you know english then join trap17.com and get this forum much better

So once someone get hosting, do that many credits get deducted from the account?

Do a certain amount of credits get deducted every day?

The amount of credits get reduce to two hosting credits, in a post that I made about credits a person loses .04 credits every 15 minutes and so by the end of the day they lose one hosting credit. However, if you a non hosted member you don't have to worry about losing credits since your not hosted.

Yersh. I think Trap17 is cool, the way it takes away hosting credits. It's /THE/ best free host out there, and it's the only hosting forum I have managed to keep active one.

i think there should be a mini faq for the most important parts of the faq for newcomers. reading a lot of pages is cumbersome to others

i think this will lessen the questions a bit and the redundancy of those questions.

an example is this

newcomer: click faq, what! this is boring.(goes to the forums looks at the approved and denied pages.) Ill post now!

1 day later
denied

i think there should be a small page for the most important faqs like for the credits, how to be approved, post, quoting the one you will need at first then bombard then with faqs

    and I'll be left with 2-3 for the "initial account balance". This means that I'...
