We have probably 5-10x as many lazy leechers as we do normal members, contribs, donators, and active users combined.

However, they are in the leecher group for different reasons.

Some may have joined for a month or so, and leeched for a bit ( who didn't leech their first few weeks? Checked things out, ya know )

Some have been here for years and continue to leech material.


my suggestion is for members that have been here for more than 2 months and have <5 rep should need to get more than 5 rep to get out of the group.

For example:

Member A has been here for a month, has 3 rep. Is a lazy leecher. Needs 2 rep to get out, sounds fair.

Member B has been here for a year and a half. Has 3 rep. Is in the lazy leecher group. Needs 7 rep to get out of the group. Sounds fair to me.

A lot of people are busting their ass off trying to post helpful or encouraging comments, to get out of the group, while others ( like the year old leechers ) are just literally reposting their material and getting out of the leecher tag.

Something scaled, like after 1 month, you need 1 more rep per month or something.

So you've been here 12 months, you need 12 rep to take off the tag. not a hard task...

I know this is probably scripturally impossible, but just an idea.

good idea, /signed

I like it too, especially that atleast 1 rep a month, well, it would be better as 2 but that's not the point. /signed

Some people have been here for like a year and a half and have like 3 rep, so they would need ~30-35 rep. And that's a bit cruel to keep them in the leecher group for that long...

Or so some might perceive it that way... LOL

Not likely for this to ever happen, I have seen this in the past on other forums... lol

Say the guy who registered here today?

but true, it most likely won't be accepted because it's like impossible to do.

[Mesmoras]

Ok, well 1 rep a month it is...

[Xx Killjoy xX]

I just got my leecher status tookin off yay!

[Banksey]

I'd fully agree with this sounds quite fair.

Maybe 5 Rep Minimum to get out, And like Neinteen said, Every month you've been here, Plus 1 Rep to get, Maximum 15 would be fair in my opinion.

If this is possible, I fully support it.

What about the people who find this rule and register a new acc.?

[Acespades]

They give us more members

[Onemore]

Seems like a fair idea.

:< I got like 9 rep for the 8 different threads I made, none of which were reposts either.
Its the luck of the draw for some people.
Plus, since I stopped playing live at the beggining of TBC, that gets rid of half of the catagories to get rep from, Such as Exploits, Exploration, Guides and Bots.
And since I'm on a now outdated OS, with a busted CD drive, I can't upgrade my OS, so I can't use the model editing software, or bot creation software... I can't even run a private server, so there goes another way or getting rep.
The only way I can get rep now, is scams, even which its more effective if you have an up-to-date WoW to aid you...

/signed I have to agree.
