Phun Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 It's time once again for a WebFlake Updates thread. We make these to inform the community of changes we made to the site. Read 'em carefully! Registrations I've added some more Question & Answer challenges to reduce the chance of spambots registering. As always, if you see a spam post don't hesitate to hit that report button. Member Group Changes Yesterday i've implemented a system to possibly help us increase some of the member activity. It moves members to the "inactive members" group if they're inactive for a longer period of time. Here's how it works: If you do not post anything for a period of 30 days, you get moved to the "Inactive Members" group. After being moved to the inactive members group, you have 90 days to become active. (You become active by making at least one post) If you do not become active after a total of 120 days (30+90), your account will be deleted. You will then have to register at WebFlake again. Downloads System Restrictions For our normal "Members" group i've adjusted some values regarding download restrictions. This is to promote activity and reduce our bandwidth costs. As always, Donators get unlimited access and downloads. Maximum download speed: 100kb/s Wait period before download: 20 seconds Maximum downloads per day: 5 Maximum simultaneous downloads: 1 But to balance this out, we've added a NEW member group called "Advanced Members". They will still have restrictions, but because they have been active on WebFlake, their download restrictions are milder: Maximum download speed: 200kb/s Wait period before download: 10 seconds Maximum downloads per day: 10 Maximum simultaneous downloads: 2 Note that maximum simultaneous downloads is hardly noticeable, considering the fact that files are usually small in size and will be finished downloading before you even get to the next file's page. New Skin And to top it all off, i've put our new skin as everyone's default skin. This is now our new main skin. If you really liked the old one you can go back to it. I've also fixed an old bug that made our avatars too small in the author info portion of posts, so everything should be a-okay from now on! If you find bugs on this skin (i started from scratch building this skin), please PM me and i'll try to fix. Please provide your browser information aswell. That's all folks, till next time! Updated 04-July-2014 Advanced Members In addition to having milder download restrictions, advanced members now also have these perks: Profile Customization 15 Seconds Search flood (Instead of 30) Can view who gave reputation How can i become an advanced member? The current criteria for being an advanced member are that you need to be active and have over 50 posts. The value will probably change in the future. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phun Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 But really 40kb/s? That may make people not even post and stuff.After determining the average size of a few recently added downloads i've reverted the speed change and capped it to 100kb/s for normal members and 200kb/s for advanced members. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
