Suggestion The Whole Forum

[GeneralAladeen]

I think we can all say cracking is past it’s prime. Many are hungry for money to make a quick buck and leave to other forums for the most attention. It’s clear that this site does not get as much reputation or prestige as it did have. It’s not regarded as a high tiered forum anymore. Part of that is probably due to the massive influx of leechers when you opened up (without invite) registration. Now I’m not saying close them, but perhaps there needs to be better regulation of content, a lot of the content is invalid as I reply here and there to different suppliers.
Only a handful genuinely provide so and deserve to be rewarded, but rewarded with what? The active section is dead (in my opinion, again I’m not trying to defame cracking.org).
Leechers need to be IP banned and sifted through by mods just take them out cause it’s just ridiculous as you see so many in the free premium section and even in the feedback posts replying - most definitely bots.
I believe the ratio system is fair, however I think it lacks in terms of people can reply and get the content without having the like what they have posted. If the content is regulated then they should be provided with a like when replied to, regardless of the replier’s desire to press ‘like’.
Maybe change it to ‘reply’ instead? How are content creators supposed to rise up from the radio system if they can not reap the benefits of the forum. Perhaps I’m missing a point here. But nonetheless, it drives members away to other forums.
I may edit this to include more, but reply with any ideas or arguements you may have either against me or with the forum. Thank you

Yes, I totally agree with you - however I don't think closing the registration will make the forum more active, we actually need active members who post unique content or even the old members including you to come back again. We should somehow encourage members to contribute.

Regarding leechers, we're planning to implement something to prevent leeching rather than banning leecher IP, banning leecher IP address would be a partial solution though. However, we're currently working on new system much better than ratio system, that would help to prevent leechers.

I agree. I have quite a lot going on irl (education), I’m not active week to week as much, although I may start to contribute and supply again. I saw a previous feedback post about their struggle of self learning and other people neglecting them in terms of teaching. Even if the ratio problem is solved, there needs to be an increase quality and number of content providers somehow. But one step at a time!

Perhaps we could get to a stage where we have an active tiered system, really miss that. Active, Elite members.
