    Hate to see peoples' hard work stolen (and sold???? so so wrong). My only comment about the higher level of membership is that there are people (like me) who don't have really anything to share and have to rely on group buys to "improve our standing" here. Not sure what the solution is for people like me, and maybe there isn't one...which would be understandable (because in my mind, protecting those who are putting in the hard work is more important than catering to those who have to "buy" their way in, like I do)

    So much hypocrisy in the OP its unreal. This suggestion is not even worth debating. You can't deem something illegal when you 1. Don't own the rights to the products 2. Then go on to download/share it illegally yourself.

    Not really.. You may check the Photo Request Sections and purchase any of your favorite tutorials and share it with the community. This also a way to contribute...

    Automatically banning of traders/leakers is not possible because we do not have a way to find them automatically.
    A second level of Gold was an option I have thought of for a while but I have decided not to implement it because I want to give users (legit) a chance to get all the tutorials (even the most expensive ones). Leakers will not be able to join again once the forum will be closed (at 10k members).

    Thank you so much, @george. Nice to hear it from you.

    All of the best, wishing you good lucks, and to anything that you will implement. Looking foward to it, for that day to come. We're all-in-one, with our moral supports.

    Guys, keep the ball rolling with your finest ideas. So that, the admins can collect the best and patch it together. The admins are listening.

    And also, thank you so much to all for sharing your thought to keep this community a better place, Regards. :)

    Good to hear it, George!

    How many members are we today? Curious, how soon can we do this.

    Hmm a secon S
    The 10k Member Solution is also a good idea. But i also like the idea of the 2nd level of Gold membership. I mean, this don`t have to be really hard, but maybe at least some useful comments and an activity in the forum?

    Just my two cents over here since i'm very new but would also like to contribute: What about a system in the future to invite new members ? For instance using TP to change for a invitation. I think that would made the circle more restrictive and so leaking more difficult ...

    I don't think this would work. They will make a business out of the invitations.

    Thanks for your response on this matter @george .
    Appreciate that.

    Hopefully, we can monitor the leakers that include in this 10k members. Cheers

    1. Banning all the likers is a bad idea. What about the 99% who are loyal members? This is not a solution.
    2. SMS will slow them maybe down, but will not stop them.

    I think, it is too easy to get the Gold Membership for 10$. Don`t get me wrong, even 100$+ will not stop them, because they earn money with the sites.

    So my solution: Make it harder to get the Gold Status. Not harder with money, but harder in effort for this community.
    For example:
    - Limited Likes needed
    - A Bonus System with bagdes or medals
    - Time Limit (Need to be 4 Weeks active)
    ...

    Make it hard to get the Links. For now it is to easy like i said with 10$ a month.

    I
    I didn't say ban all likers, just those who clearly are the leakers. Then make the cost of repeated entry high for accounts 2 onwards for the same person/number, or slow down with life's penalty: time.

    And what about if you get the wrong person? There is no 100% guarantee :/

    See my posts. You compare likes and times, it's the same few on here for vk.com, the main leak. You've got to start somewhere

    What about when the leaker likes at first and the Post will be shared 10 days later on another site? So, all of the likers after him in the time ratio after 10 days are potential leakers? Worse!

    Yeah, there should be a starting point, but if they do it wrong in the beginning..this could be fatal for this community.
    Don`t get me wrong, i just want to help. But this solution looks like just to 20% polished.

    This doesn't happen on vk, it's hours. And it's sooo obvious who it is as all vk stuff is liked by the same person only. You look at the times between posting & appearing on vk, say 20 people, next post same, say 30, but only say 12 are same, third post again, crossover is 2, fourth is just one again and again. Polish it then if you have a better solution. A backend comparison of leaked & liked posts would make it so easy.
