It’s been a while, again!

Today, I would like to talk about something that has been happening on LAH lately. Namely, cluttered posts.

When I first designed the file-posting rules, and something wasn’t right, it got mercilessly deleted. However, with time, me and the mods have been pretty forgiving.

Those rules are taken pretty lightly these days. Per example, we leave posts that do not have passwords added there. And recently, we have been pretty tolerant towards people who were embedding sample pictures as IMG tags, not attaching them. At least, if the content posted was nice.

But frankly, it’s slowly getting out of hand. There have been several reports about our users getting annoyed from the flood of hentai anime posted in Angels Hentai Downloads.

And, really, some of them not only have no passwords, there are not even any screenshots or samples, or the sample is on some obscure site that has ads and malware on it. That certainly isn’t what we had in mind, and it’s getting stupid.

So in short, what are we going to do about it?

My general idea first is to update the rules to enforce that every upload MUST have an attached sample/screenshot. Uploads without one, or with one that is not attached, will be deleted, and the poster will be informed per PM.

Secondly, some people have been posting 3 episodes of one anime in 3 separate threads. I think it is really not necessary and it should be enforced that multiple episodes of one anime are to be posted in one thread.

I am still looking for a solution to properly deal with this, so if you have any ideas we could use, post them here as a comment or onto our suggestion forum.

Thanks for reading, rant over

Yours,

Sat

Well,
it sure has been a while since I purged users on LAH.
Just today I kicked out most users that haven’t been on for some months from our Skype Room.
The way skype works, if there are too many users in a room, some people starts to lag,
so a purge is needed.

It’s not too different with LAH.
We currently have over 51000 registered users, and while most of these really come at least once every 2 days, the forum is having a hard time browsing through all those users when looking for things.
The dreaded 503 errors have been appearing more lately, the reason for this is that we are hitting our server resource limit. Sure, I could just make that limit higher, but LAH is running on donations, and more server resources means bigger server bills.

I will try to optimize this as good as I can, but I guess we might have to purge most users that do not post again, to make LAH fast again.
