The entire system of having to reply for access to posts is stupid

[4]

It leads to pages and pages of low effort responses by people who haven’t seen the content in a post and just want access to it. So not only are you not able to see what people actually think about it, any actual replies get buried by people saying “thx” or “we’ll see” to a post that may be completely low quality. It would be much better to just have a registration requirement instead of a reply requirement, since it would cut down on needless spam and greatly improve the quality of the posts.

pls don’t ban it’s my first day

Yeah, I sorta agree, all im getting is just comments saying "sdkfskjf" and "thanks!" It kinda pisses me off, like these leechers are never giving likes, and there's just too many for me to report.

I don't tolerate leechers...

You aren't entirely wrong, but would people reply with anything meaningful even if you take out the leechers' posts?

Why don't we just make it so everyone who posts needs to go through a series of verifications?

Because Staff isn't supposed to spend all day to verify 11000 posts (on average), mostly from leechers.

totally agree!! 

the world CHANGES and so should everything else.. this form of showing hidden content is from the MIDDLE AGE.. 

Also what about the THIS IS A BUMP post? threads on the market have 10 pages and is all from the OP bumping his thread up..

Why dont just bump the thread withouth actually writing a post for it? 

When you are trying to find out about a service/product, you come to a point where you even DONT think about reading the comments because you are just fucking tired of doign it to only see messages from OP that says "this is a bump"

Someone should be watching the forum as a normal user and thinking about user experience

cheers

This forum is a marketplace, and the main reason of it's existance is making money.
This "reply first" system is in place to push people to buy a subscription.
When they don't pay the subscriptions they call it "leechers".
But actually the admin of this forum is also leeching on the content creators, cause they are not paid for their content.
They get some flashy badge & social status in return, while the admin is monetizing their content.
This system will never be replaced cause it's making them good money.
It would be worse to them to loose the new influx of "leechers", which are potential new subs, than to loose a good content creator.
Cause a content creator shouldn't be TOO good, unless he/she is related to admin's inner circle.
The best people on this forum have been banned for lame excuses.
Some of those content creators DO know how to make money themselves.
But eventually they just get banned, all their content confiscated, and a similar store is opened by an admin, and content rereleased by a cracked.to goon.
A perfect example of this is starkVPS, which only came after another VPS supplier was too successful and got banned so he couldn't compete with the new cracked-owned clone of his store.
And they do this all the time

Yet you can get the Contributor and Godlike usergroups without having to spend a cent.

Of course they don't get paid, why would they? 80% of the board content comes from other sites, KSZ would go broke in a week if he had to pay people for their contributions.
