Anyway, being dismissive of the problem (and I'm glad you agree it is a problem) isn't the way to go either. Obviously we don't want to close the site for new members, that's just silly. But there could be a community effort to weed out these leeches. I mean, there's some real hypocracy going on here... we're not allowed to share roms of original games, but it's ok to share original artwork? What's the difference?

You can also say it like this: We're downloading ROM's until our harddrives begs for mercy, and then we're going nuts when a dude somewhere on the planet snatch our "hard work". This "hard work" is mostly based on some original artwork made by others a 30-40 years ago.
Edit: and for me this hobby isn't "hard work", but pure joy. Maybe making all attachments following the BSD license model is an idea? Meaning imposing minimal restrictions on any file you choose to attach.
Edit2: and btw: I don't see it as a problem.

Well maybe we need to start sending them back to KLOV.

It does bother me that this sort of thing goes on, yet some days it's so slow here there's barely anything to comment on and I don't like content being excluded.
Shouldn't be the place where people come to exploit artists, but we don't want a draconian place where everything is rastered and watermarked either.
I thought there was a post amount you had to have to start topics? Is that no longer a thing?

I know that there is a post amount to PM. I think it isn't a thing because a lot of people come here with specific questions in mind.

You guys are approaching this the wrong way! Do NOT impose restrictions on the community. Do the opposite. Make the user waive rights on any file he or she attaches.
