Poll:Rules for password protected files.

[gsm_forumer]

for some files are closed to copyrighted material, it is wise to encrypt those files before uploading.
password via PM is secure way to make this forum protected

but since many member are not wise to say THANKS for useful material, it is wise to automatic add rep for every links that are downloaded

and then it is also wise to add negative reputation for every links that are cheating, giving nice title for something old/useless

Hi

- Password needs to share to all.
- Conditional download (5 credit/ download) needs to be removed.
The sharing and downloading needs to Encourage in order to better utlize the forum.

Thanks

Swami

Setting user-defined password should be remained to make the members think what they are doing and which things are needed. it could be a good correspondence between levels of members. Every time someone wants to get the files he/she should do something for that instead of clicking and smile. We'll share for someone who is looking for, not for collectors.
Reputations are a part of encouragement but forgotten "sometimes".

I will support: Put default password in signature
In some cases after you have requested for the pwd and said Thanks, pswd will not be supplied until you add Rep!

And what happens after 1 week and you do not say Thanks and add Rep?
This is apublic forum I think rules for protecting posted files should be relaxed.
If and when I see a good post, I will always add Thanks and Rep.
You do not need to ask or silently blackmail to earn reps!

Instead of helping each other this forum is turning into a market with greed people searching for reputation. For me, the situation is good enough at this moment. I think that i have made a balance between shared and downloaded items. And of course there will be always people crying for justice when they only download and give nothing to the others.

I have set my default pass in the specified topic and not going to put in the signature.
I have the right to make a choice, do I?

I don't mind giving thanks and rep for a password. But as many people know, a lot of times a password is never sent. So there has to be a mechanism to remove the reputation you have given when this occurs. Currently the system will not let you do this (you can do it for Thanks, but that is not really as important).

Or an easy way of reporting this to a moderator and if a particular user does this all the time, they can be warned and then banned.

according to my head

1. For e-Doc (general edoc, no confidence) with no pwd
2. For e-doc that confidence ...better with default pwd
3. For Application (illegal things ) with PM

[paboya]

i think, we must explain what is REP for ??
REP doenst increase ur credit..
but higher REP - better image..

So REP just give when u feel that the file usefull or not
Some of us begging REP although his post is not usefull for certain member

Oke...
About password attached in signature
What for we protected our doc with pwd if all people know the pwd ??
it's funny

agree with this one ...




actually members will give yu reputation just in case if we think that what yu've shared is useful or quite good enough,

to all members, pls don't too stingy if yu think that material which is shared useful for yu ...

this's a mutual symbiosis,

Maybe it's even better to stop allowing psw protected files.
Best thing is to hide links until you've pressed thanx/add reputation whatever.

(administrator: I can send you a link to give an idea what I mean)


The thing is, why are there psw anyway. As soon as the psw is once known, the files/docs are in the field and spread around different forums no matter what the contents is.


My statement stays: Together we can have it all.
But if you really like it, buy it to support the vendor(s).
(and yes I've bought a major package in the past although it was the wrong one looking afterwards )
