And when you spend time uploading a file would you rather get 30 downloads from "active" members? Or 300 from leechers downloading it to? Personally I feel much happier with the 300.

I kinda agree with you personally, but I also kind of have to back up contributors that post a minimum requirement... I figure if the contributor doesn't mind, then I dont.... but I think the contributor should have the say...

in this case, the minimum requirement to see the links is 55 rep points.... which doesn't seem high... but if you're new and have 0 posts and 0 rep, it might seem like a lot...

I will continue to enforce the wishes of admin and the contributors.... but seriously, if you don't mind people "leeching" your links, then don't put a minimum requirement on them.

Unless I'm told otherwise by admin, I will continue to follow this policy.
