If you're not going to be consistent about how you run your server, I consider it a waste of my time to locate stuff, obtain it, and upload it. It's as simple as that - I'm not angry at you, nor do I question your authority to run your server. The fact is that right now I don't know what your policy really is in regard to accounts, ratios, or anything else (being that it's scattered across several threads and is now apparently private), and I don't plan to waste my time uploading if I don't know that I'm actually "helping my fellow gamer".
