Dates, Storage, and Benevolence

Zarxrax's point is good...

Also, if you have statistics about donations, maybe you can see how many people did make a donation between the date of their registration (date "d") and d+15 days...
if this amount is huge, then I'd say the 15 day probation period should stay.
In the other case, it means tthat those who donate more are "older" users, therefore the 2 weeks probation period is useless...

Um, am I clear ? Does it make sense ?

2 week upload period than or 2 week unless there is a donation.

download still "free."

kind of strange how members are more interested in restricting member privileges than admin.

phade did mention that if lifting the two week restriction didn't work out well, he'd restore it. no offense, but it seems like the opponents of the plan are more intent on taking away newbies' privileges than giving the plan a chance.

You could alsways limit the number of downloads one could do within a month (or weekly even) in place of the 2 week period until the person donates.

That way they can still download without skyrocketing bandwith too much.

Thats if the freedom doesn;t work. Of course thats more coding....

Keep up the good work phade
