Time to set it straight for the users as to what exactly you can do, and can't do. I'm posting this because many users are not taking advantage of their privileges, possibly because they are not quite clear as to what they are. So here they are:
Downloads -- Users are allowed to submit downloads in the download section.
Web Links -- Users can add web links to our data base in the Web Links section.
News -- As a user you are able to submit news to be posted on the home page.
Contests -- Users can participate in all site contests so long as they meet the parameters.
Forums -- You are able to post in any forum. As well as join in on polls.
Reviews -- Write a review on a product to be posted.
Photo Gallery -- Being a member you are allowed to have a picture album, and we do allow photo hosting so long as it is not abused.
E-mail Service -- We offer a free e-mail service to members, it comes with 10 megs storage.
There are many more smaller things users can do, but these are the majority of them. As far as the e-mail and gallery goes, that is only for active users. They take up a lot of our space, and it is considered abuse to use our space and bandwidth for personal use when you are a non active member. We've had to delete a few albums thus far.
I hope this helps, and users start using their site privileges.
