Please do not make the mistake of thinking the forum attachments and the download sections are the same... they are not!
Forum Attachments
These are the files found in members posts, after 5 post's you will be able to download them (please see timing note below).
The Download Section

Timing Note

Members with 10 posts and 2 likes can download 3 files per day
Members with 20 posts and 3 likes can download 5 files per day
Above this members can download 20 files a day.
VIP and Premium (contributed members) 100 files per day.
Rooms Excluded From Post Count
Posts which are made in the Welcome (Who Are You), Fun and Laughter and Adult rooms do not count towards your "five posts", although your actual post count displayed may be higher.
Post Clocking
Post clocking is when you post simple posts to get downloads... we are aware of this and have moderators and members online all day, they will spot this behavior and your post's will be removed. Blatant and repeated post clocking will not be tolerated and you may end up with an infraction, or temporary ban.
Examples of Clocking
Thank You.

Blatant and repeated post clocking will not be tolerated and you may end up with an infraction, or temporary ban.
Examples of Clocking
- Only replying to post "thanks". All members, not just newly registered, are asked to use the like and/or add rep functions instead. (It's unfair to expect new members to use these features when they see long standing members not use them either.)
- Only posting "I agree" messages. Please explain why you agree, or at least expand on the position you're agreeing with.
- Restating information already posted, especially for problems that have already been solved. The mods have seen this done both verbatim (cut + paste) and by paraphrasing.
- Adding nothing of value to a thread and generally rambling.
- Repeating questions answered in the room's stickies. The forum search doesn't use fuzzy logic, so the thread might not be pulled up, but most rooms have threads that have been "stuck" to the top of the first page, these often cover the most frequently asked questions and recently relevent topics.
- Posting nonsense (i.e. just mashing the keyboard).
- Need five posts, this is post number 1, 2, 3...
- Spam of any kind = perm ban, no discussion.
Thank You.
