COMMUNITY RESOURCE ECONOMY & MEMBER CREDIT GUIDE
RESOURCE MANAGER • CREDIT WALLET • MEMBER REWARDS
WELCOME TO OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS
We are introducing an important community update with the addition of a dedicated Resource Manager and an integrated Credit System. These features provide members with a structured way to contribute resources, earn credits, and use those credits to access resources shared by other members.
01 • RESOURCE MANAGER
RESOURCE-BASED CREDIT SYSTEM
The Resource Manager operates through a credit-based download system. Members are able to add their own resources and set a credit value for access to those resources.
◆ RESOURCE OWNER
Add and offer your own resources for a defined credit amount.
◆ MEMBER PURCHASE
Other members spend the required credits to access an available resource.
◆ CREDIT EARNINGS
Credits generated through resource transactions are transferred to the resource owner's credit wallet.
02 • HOW TO EARN CREDITS
Members can earn credits through several community activities and contributions.
Add and offer resources through the Resource Manager and earn credits from eligible transactions.
Participate in supported community events and activities to receive additional credits.

CREDIT WALLET
Your wallet provides an overview of your available credit balance and credit activity.
05 • IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR RESOURCES
◆ ADD NEW RESOURCES THROUGH THE RESOURCE MANAGER
Please add new resources, including downloads, applications, scripts, and other eligible resources, through the Resource Manager.
◆ BUILD YOUR CREDIT BALANCE
Using the Resource Manager for your eligible resources helps you participate in the credit system and earn credits over time.
06 • CREDIT VALUES & RESOURCE MIRRORING
RESOURCE OWNER PRICING
Each resource owner is free to define the credit amount associated with their resource.
UNAUTHORIZED LOWER-PRICED COPIES
If another member copies your resource link and republishes it as a separate resource at a lower credit price, you are encouraged to report the copied resource for review.
01 • COPIED RESOURCE
The copied resource may be removed following review.
02 • ACCOUNT ACTION
The member responsible for unauthorized copying and underpricing may face account sanctions, including a ban.
03 • CREDIT & LIKE REMOVAL
Earned likes and credits associated with the offending activity may be removed from the account.
AUTHORIZED MIRROR EXCEPTION
A mirror containing the same content on a different file-hosting service, with the same credit amount, is allowed when the original resource owner has not explicitly prohibited mirroring.
07 • RESOURCE RESPONSIBILITY & REFUNDS
RESOURCE RESPONSIBILITY
The community does not take responsibility for member-submitted content and does not guarantee that every resource will function correctly in every environment.
◆ CHECK RESOURCE RATINGS
Review the resource rating before spending credits.
◆ READ PREVIOUS DISCUSSIONS
Review previous comments and discussions to understand the resource before purchasing and downloading it.
◆ REFUND REQUESTS
For refund-related matters, contact the resource author directly.
08 • PURCHASE CREDITS
Members have the option to purchase additional credits when they need to increase their available balance.
EXAMPLE CREDIT PACKAGE
£50 → 1,500 CREDITS
PURCHASE CREDITS
Credit purchases require manual approval. Activation therefore takes a few hours after the purchase has been reviewed.
09 • HOW THE BUY / SELL SYSTEM WORKS
MEMBER-TO-MEMBER CREDIT TRANSFER
The system operates as a member-to-member buy and sell model. When a member purchases a resource using credits, the corresponding credits are transferred to the member who posted the resource.
BUYER
Uses credits to access the resource.
↓
RESOURCE OWNER
Receives the transferred credits through the transaction.
Credits used in a transaction do not simply disappear or get absorbed into the forum. They are transferred through the buy/sell system to the resource owner, subject to the platform's applicable rules.
10 • EARN MORE THROUGH PARTICIPATION
The community credit system also rewards eligible member participation. Members earn credits through supported activities, including resource contributions, posts, threads, and daily login activity.
POSTS
THREADS
RESOURCE UPLOADS
DAILY LOGIN
RESOURCE LIKES
Eligible resource likes and other qualifying community activity contribute to the credit economy according to the current system rules.
11 • PLEASE USE THE LIKE BUTTON
IMPORTANT COMMUNITY ETIQUETTE
Please avoid posting a simple "thank you" reply solely to acknowledge a shared resource. Instead, use the Like button to show appreciation for the contributor.
Use the Like button to acknowledge and support the contributor.
12 • VIP MEMBER BENEFIT
VIP RESOURCE ALLOWANCE
VIP members do not pay credits for eligible resources because their VIP membership includes an allowance of 10 resources per day.
INCLUDED WITH VIP MEMBERSHIP
CREDIT & RESOURCE SYSTEM
SHARE • CONTRIBUTE • EARN • PARTICIPATE
The Resource Manager and Credit System provide a structured way for members to contribute resources, participate in the community, and manage credits within the platform.
