Thread: A general reminder to all our generous members

Some adult sites password forum have a VIP area preview to encourage members to become VIP. I was thinking maybe we can have a 10% Area preview to encourage new members to get intro accepted.

I'm not sure what you mean by preview - the 10% GA forum is visible to the general public meaning you don't have to be a member to see the invites being given in there (even more reason to be extra careful). However that being said, 0% can not post in Area 51, the problem lies with them pming members asking for invites when they see one they want. We can not, nor will we stop them pming altogether as they need to be able to contact staff, so we are looking for alternatives such as restricting the 0% usergroup pm perms but to do that we need a vb modification.

I'll try to spare some more time to report wrong posts sorry I wasn't reporting things lately but I'm really busy

One thing is this image host requirement I would find it easier to upload to my own server instead.

There is a reason we have specific image hosts and its to do with site security and your security. We have looked at alternatives and additional sites but as of yet none of them meet our requirements.

All the new members should be advised not to give invites to 0% members... Most of them wont even have any activity as soon as they an invite they are looking for..

Everybody knows they have to go through the introduction process to become a full member and be able to receive invites. I'm referring to 10%+ members.

Regarding imagehosts I hae to agree it's a pain to use torrent-invites imagehost or all the other allowed ones, because I usually upload all my screenshots to puu.sh and then forward them to the T-I imagehost. Especially when want to post unedited screenshots, examples are posts in the helps section, for reviews or open trackers you save at least 30secs per picture and I would post a lot more screenshots. I do understand the concerns of privacy, security and also the reasons why an imagehost deletes pictures, because it can get annoying.
