New user permissions!
I have changed the user permissions to get more users in the community.
Guests: Attachments not available, Download list not available
Users, 0 posts: Attachments available, Download list not available
Users, >1 post: Attachments available, Download list available
So why this Decision?
Lot of people search in the internet for downloads. They come, they click, they download, they go away - without to have a look at the forums. Sometimes its pure laziness. With the new user permissions i want to animate the people to have a look at the forums, and maybe to stay here for a while. Maybe they find some interesting Threads, etc. Finally, they would be glad about these permissions.
That is the general idea.
And if someone really dont like this community, he has the chance to post easily in the Off-Topic forums and download his needs.

Re: New user permissions!
Good idea. I hope that will end this zero post user wave.

Re: New user permissions!
Yeah, I hate it when I'm searching for something and when I find it I need to sign up.

Re: New user permissions!
UT99.org is no "only-download-page"! I want to animate the users to look in our forums and to write something...
Thats why i have decided to change the user permission.
Okay, 5 posts is maybe a bit to hard... i will think about it
EDIT: Okay, i have set it to 2 posts!

Re: New user permissions!
I have to agree. Normally the members sign up for taking part in the community.

Re: New user permissions!
Maybe you should add a few mirrors to downloads or something so that non-members can download some major stuff.
And maybe this will start a 2 post spam wave.

Re: New user permissions!
I dont think so, they will rather post in Off-Topic in "What are you listening to?".
But okay, we will see... its a try.

Re: New user permissions!
Yeah i think it's a good idea too. Went to check out the downloads page after my first post here and got the 'you must have 2+ post...' reply.
Should emphasis the community aspect rather than just 'download and run' behaviour.
