Can a certain amount of no's take away this stuff? You do realize that a lot of the people saying "yay" could be friends of the person, complete idiots, or even the same person just wanting an extra account.

Stuff like this above is not exclusive for Tault Unleasehed, is open and for everyone else. If you let stuff like this in then why not just keep letting copied and pasted crap in, since it is just info that is free and available over the net and it is not copyrighted by the person who wrote it... which is pretty much what the database is.

In my opinion the mods/admins need to take a more active role here. If they don't play the game then they of course should not comment. But a mod/admin that actually plays the game should stand up for this site and stop letting garbage in here. Taking just a couple yay's from random people on this site is allowing for a lot of trash to pass through. Most of the people that say "yay" it seems like they are not even playing these games most of the time.

No offense to the person who made this database but it is not something that is specifically made for this site and I would still recommend no.

I agree with davidvandamn, while it's a nice database it's mostly ripped from clanwind (by admission of the creator) and the guide is directly copy pasted from allakhazam without even preserving the links (written at the top of the guide or something).

It's an impressive effort to create but it wasn't created for XU. Why not hand out licenses to allakhazam, killingifrit, ffrecipe and all those other sites too if we're handing it to kida?

No, I'm not saying something like this doesn't take effort to make. I'm just stating if we start granting people premium based on public information that has NO relation to XUnleashed, then we might as well start granting membership to all those copy/paste guides in the submission forum as well.

we have given away premiums for the stupidest things that give almost nothing to the community (seeing through walls *exploit* for example) but the botting site while having no relevance to the site does allow people to get some information they may need without having to post for it here. im usually the person who says no on stuff because its common information but then other people say yes so premium is given anyways so i decided to just say yes on this which was halfway decent

Actaully he wasnt given premium for the post. Until he does the following. Which would be on his site create a custom banner as well advertising our site to help the site grow. Because i agree as it stands its just a random site that anyone can use and wouldnt be fair to just give premium for public info.
