All NEW members must make a minimum of **15 contributing topics** before they are granted access to the download function, the ability to search, the use of a signature, access to all topics, and editing their posts.
When we say **15 contributing topics** this means you must actually make 15 of your own topics contributing music or other content to the forum.
Moderators will be checking your 15 posts to make sure you are simply not leaving comments on other peoples posts.
If you make a request for music before you complete your 15 posts, you will be banned for up to 3 months for not following this simple rule.
This is a place where we share music, and this rule is to keep leechers out. If you are only here to download music, then this is not the place for you.
