Share Ratio

[lordyfan]

Forum URL: wickedsymphony.freeforums.net/

We are a forum sharing ROIO [Recordings Of Independent Origin]. Just Wondering, to stop leeching, is there a way of implementing a share ratio policy?. Please explain in simple terms, as i have had 2 strokes and i do find things hard to follow sometimes. We would also like to hide links until a member replies to a post. We used to use [reply] [/reply] code..does this work on proboards?. Thanks in advance

We do not offer a feature like this. Sorry.

Even if a plugin existed to perform this duty the links would still be visible if a user right-clicked the page and viewed its source.

He wants to stop smash & grab merchants by the looks of it.
Leeching is when someone just downloads without sharing back & the ratio would be an indicator of what has been shared back into the community. If you use a site like dimeadozen, there is a policy that states members must have at least a 0.25 share ratio (25%) before they can leech (download).
lordyfan. The only way I have seen this work is to use bespoke torrent tracker software (assuming you're talking P2P sharing) and somehow bolt the forum onto that.
