Recently I was thinking over a way to help solve the problems on Wc3sear.ch. The solution I came up with was that everything on wc3sear.ch be removed. (all maps, models, skins, tools, everything) This should restore the quota (assuming uploads havnt been blocked by Darkys ISP)
Then before allowing uploads again, there should be a cap ammount set for each person. This will allow each member to upload only a certain ammount of icons/skins/models etc. (Thus hopefully preventing another problem such as this)
Then (if darky wanted to take it futher) each member of wc3sear.ch also has a new "rank" set among their name (addressed by the QUALITY of their work submitted and not the QUANTITY) which would allow them to submit more icons/maps/skins/models/tools and whatnot.
So whatcha think guys? All feedback is appreciated.

Anything involving "Delete everything" by DEFINITION is STUPID and won't work

I mean, you're just destroying everything of the site and ignoring the fact that not everyone who once came here comes here still

And a lot of good quotas on single people will do. Its the fact there's so many maps that we're over, not because a single person is submtiting 200 maps by themself

Why is it stupid exactly? Or is there a legitimate reason why it wont work? And im not just saying "Erase Everything like a Maniac" but rather "clear out all the garbage so wc3 can have a fresh start" And also, many people DO submit large quantities of icons/skins/maps (not saying any names but just take a look at some profiles) not in the hundreds of course. Alot of the models/skins are old anyway, most of the people who submitted them submitted a second one and never removed the original (Making a copycat-model/skin calling it MyModel/skin2)
And about the people who dont come here still, then they either wont miss their data or if it is good quality it can be saved on someones computer and re-uploaded under a seperate account (giving credit to the proper authors)

lol, nice.
I'm not saying to accept the idea, but at least he's not saying that nobodies doing anything to help the situation, and that his idea will solve every problem. He's only trying to find a way to help, that's all you can ask for.

Well, thats the thing: it has. Site space is no longer the problem. Its the disabled uploads. A purge would not do anything, as I have already stated in the news repeadedly.

Ah. Well I guess its good to know that the site space isnt the problem anymore.
