Premium Users Only files

[samcch86]

There is a urgent need to implement on which premium account to be use on here. Right now its a mess here, members are all posting their files with all kind of premium... i can't possibly sign up for a premium just to download one file right? i believe none of us will do that. I think the aministrator need to decide and control which premium are allow here, and to ensure all members follow.

I think, if i became one of admin here, i cant do that, since every months, they got sponsor from different file hosting.

I agree with @samcch86, i dont want too become premium user just cause 1 or 2 movies that i want.

we know of the problem, but filehosters come and go, and in some countries there is a different situation i.e., some hosters are banned by the country, also paying for premium I hear is becoming a problem to, as I have said before, check what you favourite poster uploads to and the go for premium, and do not forget our spomsors

I read the first post and despite claiming to have stopped premium only links, I still see a lot posting single-file links that only premium users can download. However, I may have mistaken the meaning of "premium only".

I am just curious to know the meaing of "we will delete any posts from now that are premium only". Do you mean:

1) Deleting posts that mention the words "premium only"?
2) Deleting posts that have multiple RAR parts and the first RAR part free users can download while subsequent parts only premium users can download? <-- that's hilarious and smart.
3) Deleting posts that show, for example, 2 filehost links where the first one is a Rapidgater link that free users can download while the 2nd one is Ryushare link that only premium users can download?
4) Deleting posts that show filehost that no matter what you do you cannot successfully download as a free user despite claiming to offer free downloads for free users?
5) Deleting posts that use filehosts that it could take 10 years to download at 10 KB/s and aborts frequently?

I've seen all of the above on Akiba and I am sure there are a few more tricks but I couldn't remember on the top of my head now.

a couple of problems here, we get very few reports of premium links only, and those that are reported, I have found the free links work, I think it must be at times when things do not work, and we do have more than one of us that checks the links


1) we do delete posts that are premium only

2) if that does happen it is you (the members) that needs to report it and lets us know which link is premium only, I do not go through every link, as something there have been over 40

3) single link premium posts can be posted, but there HAS to be free links to it as well,

4) filehosts operate differently in different countries, that is why it is best to use different hosters, local ISP blocks etc. you can request for a different file host as well

5) is pretty much the same number 4


Final Summary is REPORT IT, no use sitting on it, we do not download everything,

Thanks, I did report #3 but no action was taken. However, I have to admit there is a grey area here. It really depends on how big the file is. If the file is less than 500 mb, for example, and filehost A allows up to 500 MB download for free users and filehost B would require premium accounts, that post seem valid. However if the file is 1 GB, then that post would have 2 filehost links that require premium-only. It really depends on which post the Mod examined. A couple of these "valid posts" and the mod would assume it's false alarm. Likewise, I don't check every posts he makes and I never report twice. Over-reporting would make me look desperate and few more times it would be cry-wolf.

Initially I thought #3 is against the rule and I reported on that. It may just happen that post contain 1 free-for-user filehost and the other a premium only. But I did saw posts of big files that require premium for both filehosts.

Ok...does that mean now, if i post two filehost
the first filehost is defeinitely premium only but with many parts

The second filehost, same number of split parts, but can be download by freee user is valid?

Yes

Here is something that really needs to be addressed. The ISO download links (here) are hosted on a multi upload service and that's great and all, but when you go to click each link, about 2 or 3 of the links are missing a host-provider. For example: I use Rapid Gator, but the 2nd and 4th link for the ISO download is not listing gator ..but the other links do. I'm seen this more and more lately.
It's a scam as far as I'm concerned. Because they're advertizing multi hosing but they're leaving out some of the hosts at various links.
The only thing I can think of is they're hopping people will have no choice but to order service from one of the other providers listed. Unless there's another reason it's false advertizing.

Why are we supporting these CO's

in the case of the link above, it could be a mistake, if you send a friendly pm, I am sure it will be rectified, I know in some cases it will not be, and you are right to bring it to our attention, you can and should report it, because we all may think it is only a mistake, so if they all get reported and that develops a pattern, we can then deal with it better,

Thank you for letting us know, and we will try to keep an eye out
