The Hosted Members Area section permissions have been modified allowing any Trap17 Member to reply Topics.

Members are however not allowed to create a New Topic.

Thank you,

Interesting idea OpaQue maybe it will give a fresh perspective on potential problem, and give new members an idea what to expect if they do have problems in th future and what not. Should be interesting how the non hosted members will do in the hosted forum, but I would assume this is on a trial basis just to see what happens.

I did this because, we must never underestimate the skills of non-hosted members at Trap17. There was a time when we had limited members contributing limited stuff for only Hosting. Today, So many members are now opting to stay at Trap17 because they simply like us and this permission block was injustice to them especially when they are so eager to help and contribute.

I hope this move will benefit the Hosted Member group :-)

Oh goody. Not being able to post in the hosted members section is one of the two reasons I am still hosted. The other being, the ability to give out credits. Perhaps you could allow non hosted members this option too!

al3x, I believe the rate at which credits are gained prior to hosting is different, so that may be why sharing credits is not allowed before you get hosted.

OpaQue, nice move! I'm sure there are plenty of non-hosted memebers who can help out the hosted with their site issues. There's no reason to limit them in that

Thank you, this now allows members hosted with Computinghost like myself to finally be able to post replies in this forum.

This is great. More help for the hosted I suppose.

Yes but they could put some kind of "conversion tax" on it that makes it equal. Like 40% for non hosted members, or something...

[DeM0nFiRe]

Hmm, that's interesting. That would be kinda cool actually.

[galexcd]

Yes and that way I wouldn't have to be hosted to make credit giveaways. Because I don't use my trap website for anything, that way it saves trap space on their servers Not that the few kilobytes would actually make a difference. But anyway I think I shall make a suggestion about this.
