As much as I'd love to blame this all on the spam of mediocrity that ShareCG experienced, part of the blame still has to rest with the owners/admins of the site who seemed both unwilling and unable to enforce even the slightest bit of policing their own site.  Yeah they had a staff of three or 4 folks working the site, but you wouldn't have known anyone was at the helm judging from the lack of presence they exhibited in policing their own forums.

I know several other users who were reporting copyright and spam in attempts to help but the people reported never seemed to be affected or stop, so it became apparent to me that reporting infringements wasn't worth my time. I was told on several occasions that certain infringing members would be removed but in the end they were not and they just continued or created new screen names with the same sort of content.

I'm dissappointed but I'm not surprised. The concept will not work without a lot of investment in time keeping the content policed and culled.

Sadly I just don't see sharecg's admins investing much of any time into the site at all, in fact the entire thing looks to be a "when we have a minute" sort of project for there company, which is actually quite a shame.

They can't or won't even keep there message bases moderated, much less there file area.  I also find it very curious that they just canceled revenue sharing at the drop of a hat with no warning and no notice whatsoever.  They have said nothing about what  if any provisions will be made if they decide to bring revenue sharing back for those items uploaded or viewed in the interim, indeed the whole board seems to be in limbo ATM.

They did ask for suggestions on how to improve the process of revenue sharing, but then remained utterly silent even after the message bases were turned into a blood bath by a couple of immature posters who didn't like anyone disagreeing with there ideas and decided to make personal attacks on anyone with the temerity to suggest a different way of doing things.  Indeed the only statement they made after that debacle was that they were "staying out of it" so that they wouldn't influence the final outcome in any way.

This one really left me scratching my head.  Dunno folks, just between you me and the fencepost I think there is more going on over at sharecg than what has been publically stated, so I'm glad I'm a relatively new member and I have what little I did upload to them backed up elsewhere, just in case.  Wouldn't surprise me if they changed the revenue sharing system around, realized it was actually the scammers who were making a good portion that revenue available in the first place and then either cancel revenue sharing completely for good or just pull the plug on the whole thing without a word in advance.

So personally I'm looking for another solution - and I think a lot of other people are too.  Although I initially thought I'd support sharecg, over the last week or so my impression of them has changed dramatically.  It's a good concept, but one that is being very poorly managed indeed. 

Just my 2 cents worth.
