That's not true. If people lie to you, you'll lose your trust in them. This happens more than once and people will start calling you a lier. Also liers are gonna be liers, and they're gonna be spotted. Other will tell the truth and they'll be trusted more and more. I try to fit in the second class as much as possible, because I saw the rewards of being someone who adds value/honesty to things. It's amazing!!

This is true, but start adding rules, and this forum may change it's course. Even more if you're not talking to your members.

Logical and inefficient, because it will never have the same traffic as other parts of the forum. Also, I wouldn't be able to link my thread in the "ads part" to the one which is a well made guide/tutorial... Will I?

The enforcing of an exisiting rule will not stop quality posts in this forum, it will help make them more visible. It stops them being hidden by topics promoting every new badly made PTC site on Buxhost that will not last more then a few months.
Yeah, but who is fault is that? Everyone's? I'm just saying here, I'm gonna stay at ForumCoin as long as it's something that fits me (fun wise and money wise), but sometimes I feel like I'm being restricted without cause.
This is the second time. The other one was the 25 post thing. I did not tell you guys before, but I'm pretty sure that if I post 50 posts today... Then 10 tomorrow - I'll make no money, because the restriction's still on. This can be easily avoided, by waiting 1-2 days until your limitation goes off, but it's not how a forum is supposed to be, is it?
Them you may ask "but who the hell is gonna post 50 times a day?". Look at the off topic section, there are so many fun games and topics, I don't feel encouraged at participating anymore (not so much) because of this limitation, if I go past my 25 posts, it'll just slower down my earnings by dragging the limit further.
I'm pretty sure you guys can understand it better if you experience it. You can actually be an active member here without receiving money (at least I saw this the first 1-2 days where I went trough the limit of 25 a day). I wasn't looking for money (besides my 25 posts), but I was actually hurting my earnings by posting more.
Now, I'm just defending this cause because it affects me as someone who spend a lot of time finding new ways to get money (and be the first to post a guide and earn referrals). The truth is I'm gonna stay here at FC even with this change. But it's the "second strike", lets say.
Bureaucracy is bad guys. Very bad. If you're going to put some rules up, talk to your community, ask for feedback and try to find creative ways to achieve what you want. I agree people are spamming the same websites over and over. But there are also some good guides teaching people new ways to earn money. Aren't they worth getting referrals? Me and a few others think so.
Anyway, take this as feedback from
one member, not as the ultimate truth. But at the very least, talk more with your members before setting rules up.
Sorry for the wall
