instead of complaining, maybe you should read the rules.  that might explain WHY we have certain rules in place like the attachment rule.

When you are looking for something helpful, all those nonsense messages are annoying. I understand what the moderators are trying to do, but I think there must be a better way.

we have tried a points system where people were given 5 downloads off the bat just for signing onto the forum, then for every so many posts, could download more but people abused and complained about that rule.  we do not condone BS posts.  if people just want to bypass posting and participating, they can always pay a small fee to do so.

 

In the past, when we did not have an attachment rule, people were just downloading them willy-nilly causing the forum to run slowly and crash...then we had thousands of people complaining because the forum was running slowly.

 

if people really just took the time to read the rules, follow them, particpate in a positive manner they would see that they reached 150 posts in no time and the forum runs much smoother.
