Well, my idea is more focussed on the ads. Since slapsta gains slightly some money from the ads. When n00bs click it, slapsta get's money and they get their download. If they don't click the ad, they just have to wait patiently 5 min before they get what they want. [:)] The download delay would only count for like the less active foo's with under 25-50 posts. But you shouldn't mention anywhere what the exact limit is from disabling the delay. So n00bs think everyone have that delay and you only find out that you can disable it when you start becoming active. [:)]
Eventually only a Win-Win situation for us and slapsta [:)]
And if n00bs are spamming the crap out of the forums you'd notice it right away. Think about it: Suddenly 25+ random posts from the same member in a couple of minutes? That definitely makes him/her noticed on the forums, so he can be banned and maybe we could track the IP for further actions. (Like 2nd account with same random actions)
