This is the second of two polls I have created to see if anything needs changing on MW Source. Please vote truthfully as this could affect the site.

 

Poll 2 - Registration

Do you think registering to download the mods is a fair system?

 

I have two reasons for using the current registration system:

- Forum and Site registration is linked, I felt it would be more likely that people would post on the forum if they had to make an account there to download (Like a "oh I'm already here, may as well post" thing ;)). Think about why you decided to post here, was it for that reason?

- Its a sign, to me, of how well we're getting on and how popular MW Source is. Obviously being able to say I have over 22,000 members is quite a ego-boost for me. Shh ;)

Ok, I voted "No" to cancel that one out :)

Gives you some measure of control about who's downloading mods from your site - after all you're paying for it!

 

As long as you don't start demanding sacrifices as well as registration :P

Though I'm a newbie to this site (and forum), but I believe that it's absolutely the best to have the registration. Not because I generally like registrations - I don't - but more because it kind of says "this is a serious site" and it keeps alot of junk away from the forum. And as Theta Orionis says, you got the right for it - it's your money - and we're a bunch of freeloaders...

 

Don't take this too seriously and start charging a fee... ;)

Just like a lot of people have said, the registration could possibly keep somebody off of the site who probably shouldn't be here anyways. Also, I myself registered for the downloads, and have since become a regular here in the forums. So I say that it is a good thing to have it set up like that. My vote: No.

No. And here's why:

Bad things about registration: None. I don't think anyone can seriously argue that registration is wrong.

Good things about registration: what's been said, also ip ban on forums = no more downloads.... might be motivation to behave better!

So at worst, its just there, and at best, it adds a bit of control.

I voted no for both polls, I believe that Dark0ne, Daerk, and the Mods have done a great job and that nothing here really needs changing... :huh:

Exactly. If it ain't broke, why try to fix it?
