I think it would be more obvious if the warning would say something like: You need to have 30 posts and be a member for at least 7 days in order to download this file. Instead of: You do not have permission to view this page or perform this action.
Many sites have various requirements before all site perks kick in. You can thank spammers for this and rarely will an Admin say up front what those requirements are. Even my moderators don't know what the post threshold is before a new member is automatically promoted to full member status. If someone signs up just so they can download something, most admins don't want those types of folks around to begin with.
Hey, nothing wrong with giving us clues! Though since I didn't just leech and move on, it got me addicted to posting. So, obviously you all did something right
Yeah, but going around resurrecting ancient threads and spamming them with nonsense isn't a good way to endear yourself with an admin, either.
Actually, I never used XenForo, and didn't realize the post dates were under the signatures until today, I only replied to stuff on the top 5 of a section. You seem like the kind of person that drives away new users.
For someone talking about spamming threads with nonsense, you sure like to do it as well! But thanks for the response lol. I'll try to take off my kid gloves, and stop showing people with rainbows and ponies, since ya know, trying to be nice to people is sooo last week, eh?
If people took a minute to read the Announcements forum instead of rushing to get what they can and run, they'd find the necessary requirements - http://adminextra.com/threads/styles-resources.5743/
