The downloading rules are perfect in my opinion. It promotes participation and stops people from leeching. It should stay the way it is now.

it seems fair. you are providing an excellent free resource ( especially for people in countries where some shows are not available). however can i suggest that before you remove people from the downloads area for not posting, you check that they actually are downloading files ( i assume this is possible) . i hope to be at the 50 post mark within the next few months, but there will be times where i wont be able to use the forums for a month or so at a time ( exams, work, holidays), During these times i wont be downloading videos either, but i wouldn't want to have to build up another 50 posts or re-apply because i have been cancelled.

perhaps some sort of system where for each 10 posts you can download one video or something similar might work. just a suggestion

So far it's not possible to check who download what, and we doubt we'll be able to do that... that's why we love regular reviewers or posters: if they download the post something, if they don't download the vid for whatever reason, they won't post and you know they simply didn't d/l it

Actually you cant , you can just get the videos of that week in course , the old videos can only be getted contacting some member .

Obviously is important that you share too ... if nobody shares , then the site is pointless

i think ppl who often post and be active(when new topic emerge, have something to say )in this forum should be in the reviewer group, not just ppl who write long review

Sure , but mainly the site runs in about the videos , many people dont have access to certain programs because they are from other countries ...

Itīs kinda the main stuff in the site is about information , giving pictures , reviews , points of view , videos , just about sharing with the others , dont you think ?

You might want to add that ruling to the faq, might save you alot of extra time for new members.
