It's not like every single link in User Uploads dies within an hour of being posted.
It's pretty calm now, or however i should describe it, but when it gets to a certain level of reporter-activity, that im sure alot of the uploaders have seen on other forum, links really go down witin an hour.
No joke.

Even if most of the links do die, what are you suggesting, that we delete the entire User Uploads section?
I didn't say that, but if all the links are dead then what use is the section?

As for how it would hurt the rest of the forum to have it protected, as I've said over and over - SPAM. You may have missed it, but when the 30-post limit was made for entry into the section, the forums were spammed to hell. The entire Fakku forum was shut down for several hours to clean up the mess.
I have heard about that, and no one wants that shit ofc, but it was worth trying out imo.
It's the most commonly used method for keeping reporters out after all.

If we decided to only let people with so much rep get into the section, the same thing would happen again, because people would spam to get rep, as I have said.
Im not too keen on the rep-idea either, but it's better than a dead section, assuming the forum doesn't crash.

If you don't want to post links in the User Uploads section without some sort of protection, then don't post your links here. It's as simple as that.
Why do you think i've stopped posting games? (with the exception of 1 or 2)
