Thread: Non-Contributors

A new group has been created called Non-Contributors.

This is a group set up for those that have reached the required number of posts to access the rest of the forum but as of yet haven't made any posts since doing that, or haven't done any posts in a month.

The purpose of this group is to try and stem the flow of leechers and non-contributors of the forum who just come here for one reason and that is to download everything we have to offer here without so much as a thanks. All we ask here is that you get involved in any way possible, even if it's just a simple thanks for something you take.

To be sure you aren't moved into this group, then join in on the forum, say thanks for anything you take and above all, enjoy what this forum has to offer.

The contributing members of this forum put a lot of time and effort into this community. They do it for the love we all have for the old days and they get a lot out of it for their efforts.

Remember, a little thanks goes a long way.

The Admin & Mod Team

EDIT: The Non-Contributor group is no longer used, instead we now delete inactive users & zero posters from the forum on a monthly basis. Contributors who do not post after a certain amount of time will be moved to the registered user group.

Great idea me ol China, nicely done

yes it's very common practise in places these days...if you can grab something for nothing I suppose you will. I know I don't upload any music but that is going to change shortly. And if I get my hands back on my vinyl anytime soon - or within the next year which I hope to do, I'll be trying to share anything I have that isn't already on here...which is a quite a bit from what I've seen.

I've a couple of (hopefully..) good mixes I've been working on...a little mini-project of mine, using mp3s I've been able to obtain from here - as a way of putting back into the system that's given me so much in the first place. Call it recycling if you will..

I always try to say thanx and I also try to go and be active in forums that aren't where there's just music to be had - like the sports, films and news etc; so I'm using the whole forum and not just leeching for music. Which I know lots of people would do. I've also introduced one other person to the site (Milkman) who has contributed a lot in his short tenure....so how's that for spreading the gospel.

Sorry - I don't have any more friends! :p

Anyway - I hope this doesn't keep you too busy, as I'm sure lots of members would be contenders for the naughty corner....

It's a great site and I get too much pleasure from it. I like investing my time and I think all efforts that go into it are exemplary. People request stuff and the response is outrageously quick sometimes...too good a community and a vibe to not be a part of.

Okay, okay ass-licking over! :p

Hail I/A/A/O!!! :ymparty:

Just to clarify it for people as well CR, does the period of 'non-contributing' begin from today?

ie. as of today, if you haven't made a post in a month and are currently enjoying the status of 'contributor' we will move you into being a 'non-contributor' and your access to the forum will be limited. So in 30 days we'll start to see this group getting some members...

Yes, we will start it from April 1st. Just so people know we are starting this up and will get use to the idea.

We will see how things go. I'm hoping this doesn't create a "you have been sent to the naughty step" situation. All we are asking for is for those that put in the effort when putting their collections on here, people just take a few seconds to say thanks if they take what has been put up. It's not hard to do.

Indeed. It's literally ten seconds to say thanks on a thread you're there taking the link from. If you can't even be arsed to do that then the question has to go out whether you're really deserving of having access to the links. So say thanks! Even better, comment on the download and if you like it, what you particularly liked about it etc. having that kind of information provides other users with additional information about the sets/singles/whatever.

Great idea, let's hope it works!

And yeah if you like a mix/track, tell us why!

fantastic idea guys

Does this apply to VIP people too?
Ive noticed 1 guy (forget his name) who has only posted twice, and that was way back and on his introduce yourself!
Should he be classed as a non-contributor?

I wouldn't have thought it would apply to VIP's, although I think the rules about having to make the minimum amount of posts to join VIP now apply.

Wigs is right.

The rules have now changed and those wanting to support the site and it's costs can only be upgraded to VIP once they reach 10 posts.

The guy you are refering to was upgraded before we brought this rule in. So as he has shown his support for the costs of running the site, he will remain as a VIP member.

Ill let him off then!

Where is the Non-Contributor's list?

I'm not sure if you guys can access it, but go to "user control panel" click on "user groups" then click on "non-contributor"

if you can't do this, then you can't access it, so the best way to see them is to click on members and look at the users in pink.
