Thanks, scheng. I've noticed that you've given a lot of people a lot of help. Good, quality help, too. (As is evidenced by all those rep points you have!) If it means anything, a huge thanks from me!
I've been tweaking the formula to allow downloads. Here's a quick rundown. You need a certain combination of:
- Number of posts: 100. Do NOT make fluff posts. (E.g., great job! or thanx or IMO, D) If they are reported, we will remove them and you may be banned.
- Number of days: 30 days.
- Number of reputation points: 10. Make a good, helpful post, and you'll get repped. Different members have different rep-giving powers. New members can generally give 0 or 1 point only. More established members can give more, typically 2 to 5 points. A few members, usually the ones with a lot of rep points can give 10 or more points.
before you can download or upload. This should make things easier. I can't state specifically what the formula is beyond what I've explained for two reasons. First, I will likely tweak it further. Second, some parts of the forum's algorithms are complicated and undocumented, so only the original coder knows.
