How unfortunate that everyone is penalized for the actions of some who show no self control and chose to abuse the free area in order to make a few pennies on a freebie site that encourages people to spam in order to make a few pennies off of the hits and downloads.

Was there no other options or alternatives that didn't penalize everyone? Perhaps set a limit for those who host on a server like ShareCG which encourages spamming to get the maximum uploads and money.   And allow more uploads for those who are hosting on  free or paid sites that aren't paying for hits/downloads?

It's really those who are hosting on ShareCG  that is the problem. Anyone using another hosting site be it free or paid are uploading their items for the sake of offering freebies, not for the sake of trying to make pennies off of their uploads.

Also, I don't understand the reasoning behind allowing 3 uploads in 24 hours but only approving 1 of those in the same 24 hours. Why not just allow 1 upload and 1 approval in 24 hours? The way it is now someone could be uploading 3 items per day everyday which is 21 items a week and only having 7 of those approved during that week. That's a backlog of 14 items just for that one person.  That's going to lead to a huge backlog of items awaiting for approval.
