They call propmoting a link to an affiliate of the site because EVERYONE KNOWS that SAMODS Is An affiliate "Against the rules". You know whats against the rules ABUSE OF POWER. Im not pointing any fingers, but its happening. WcWAREHOUSE was ARROUND LONGbefore WC3SEARCH as far as i can recall. Actually it was made because the 1st dload section was NEVER updated.

Vex, u cant complain about good work getting posted amonth later. The only thing that killed the old dloads section was that we had one admid on that, we needed like 5 or 6. BUt thats the same thing thats happening now, but now they are using them to reulate retarded post. Soo hmmm if i think about it. The solution to the current probem was the soultion to the origional problem. Hmmm interesting.

And how can u ban the chump for bashing the PEOPLE in the wc3search community who VILOATE the privliages, and get away with it.

Id like to see more admid activity in this thread other than banning people.

I wish we could have a poll that excludes all noobs. Like one that excludes people who havent been here for more than 3 months. Then mabe we wold get actual poll results.

They both crossed the line.
Everone who knows me, knows I ban people almost never... there where around 4 people max I banned the last 2 years.... 2 of them today.

Posting very offensive texts and signatures about the download section affects me 2.
Things like Fucking wc3sear.ch is not the type of dialoges I'd like to have here.

Take Egg for example... he doesnt like the download section and tells that in normal words. I respect his opinion. If he'd flamed around throwing words not meant for ciivilized dialogs he'd be 1-week banned too.

Mock1 knew he wasnt allowed to heavily advertise for his Website on wc3campaigns. He got warned by several Admins already and every time he removed the Signature for a few weeks and then started over again.
The mistake Mock1 made was heavily Rioting against the download section to praise his own website in the hope people will visit it. With an attitude like this you cannt expect a site admin to accept this shameless advertising. Thats not the way to go.

I also did a lot of advertising for wc3sear.ch, but I did it not that obvious and not at the cost of other sites.
I went to other warcraft3 fansites and showed links of my Spells or Maps. By visiting my resources they automatically noticed that theres more to get and so they knew my site.
Mock1 has the same opportunity. He can post his Skin work in the skinning forum.
He can give Direct links to his skins so people visit the page and look at that skin. If he's lucky people like it and bookmark the site..

Beside also the thing Egg is trying to make is rather useless. He tries to get people to boykott the download page. What the people dont realise is they loose the best opportunity to spread their resources.
There are over 10'000 people visiting the website day by day and are very happy with it. There are constantly new features and enhancements made by requests of the community and thats a thing you dont have on most of the websites. Most websites dont care what the community wants

Why don't we just clean up wc3 search, link em to wc3c's skinning gallery and tell them to ask for feedback there before uploading skins, and get rid of the popups on war3search?

btw, why is it war3sear.ch? Thats wierd. Also, I don't think Mock should have been banned, his sig and avatar were way cool and SA mods is a very good and friendly site.

Really wc3sear.ch is really good, and I don't think it is going to be replaced in a while by an wc3c owned one, though if it would be better than wc3sear.ch's I agree.

Instead of trying to destroy it, help improving it.

Say what exactly you don't like about it, and how to fix it.

Things already said:
Q. No need of having a special relationship with the staff to submit stuff, makes a lot of skins I don't like be there.

A: If they aren't against the rules they are fine, you can't judge art that easy ,and aesthetical aspects are all relative

Q: I can't upload a skin/model pack
A: Well I don't know why, there shall be an option to do that. Probably that will be moderated, but what about uploading the skins individually? most people won't like to download 3.0 MB for a single skin.

Q: I don't want to go to another site to download stuff
A: I agree that the accounts at wc3c should be compatible with wc3sear.ch , having to register again to wc3sear.ch is wrong. But besides of that I say that a net of sites is better than site individualism , and will never change my mind.

Q: The section is not moderated then there are a lot of files that are against the rules and none does nothing:
A: Right, 6 cases from 3004 (estimation) , but Anyways it is getting moderators to keep the order there.

Q: It has viruses / popups
A: I am still unsure about popups , but I know there aren't viruses, nathanmx just got a virus from some where and couldn't find any other place to blame.

q: Me maverick want to piss the site out again, will try to boycott wc3sear.ch
a: You are just boycotting yourself.

Q: The admins don't hear to this community.
A: They do hear you, and me , I am just a moderator for no reason besides of my triggers, btw. They just take time to decide, but anyways if you want them to hear you give them reasons, cause this thread only brought advertising , spam and rumor spreading, the admins only see ban reasons from that.

Anyways as I said, if you don't like wc3sear.ch for some reason tell why , and give suggestions about fixing that, not just come and blame.

Just Vexorian's opionion nothing more.

Oh, and to show everyone why we shouldn't listen to you, I want everyone to look at his "CLICK HERE" attachment. Look closely at the virus scan window. I took me a minute to notice it too, but look at the scroll bar. Clearly edited. Nice job jackass; is this supposed to be some sort of frame up now?

I don't know much sites but, I know what a style sheet. Bit the other on is java? I thought Darky got rid of all the java?

Hey it was the chump who said it first me, mock, John drake and a few others agreed. Hey should be allowed to have that sig hes had it for like 2 years. Keep the temp ban but let him keep the sig.

10,000 visit the site 65% start flamming. Who caes about how many people visit it what happend to communitty. And how many new featues do u need the side pannel is awesome with the random icon thing and the top whatevers. U dont need anymore. Ur over doing it. Instead of making new features, refine the ones u have. Link the Screen shot thing its a real pain in the ass cause it dosent scroll and gets cut off. The moderators is a good ting. but no recolors or icons made from pics of bands and the words icq should be allowed. U have a site that could be great but it has NOOO Rules. oh and I still get pop ups and i dont have any viruses or spyware.

Take a chill pill, my thread is not boycoting w3sear.ch, Im against certain points of w3sear.ch true but Darky28 is fixing them gradually with removing popups and installing mods. My thread is an amateur attempt to help the community, and if people would upload more it wouldnt be needed( I would upload to w3sear.ch but I dont want to make another account Ill wait till my wc3c works there.)
Stop the flaming against me and the rep spam. I understand now that you are mod at Darky28s site you must defend it, but stop the flame inciting. Its so passé.

Darky, are there or aren't there popups on wc3sear.ch?

My computer is completely clean of spyware and has been that way for over a year. I scan with 3 programs every 2 weeks and have a program that is specifically geared towards preventing spyware from ever installing should it get around my barriers.

Popups are appearing on the site (just that site) according to my pop up blocker. Could you confirm this?

Egg that is a huge mistake to not have anti virus programs. I know its hard to and you praboly say, "my comp works fine" but when I first ran a spy sweep on my comp I had over 1250 viruses on my comp! OVER 1250! After that I made sure that I always has an anti virus protector.

btw, I looked at my rep and I thought I had 3 for a sec!

I'm pretty sure it does have popups, or it's a huge fluke that only wc3sear.ch has popups and no other site I visit does.

I placed IE literally on no popups, no-cookies, high security level for the past 1+ year (go to IE, select high security to see how ridiculously safe you are...). That's even more restrictive and safe than what Firefox would give you. Stack that on top of all the protection software, and you'll be darn sure that I do have no spyware.

Oh, for those of you who want a little more protection, do th following.

1) Download Service Pack 2
2) Use AdAware 6
3) Use Spybot Search and Destroy
4) Use Spyware Blaster (best prevention tool)
5) Disable ActiveX controls in IE or use another browser
