I believe in enforcing a ratio, but not necessarily kickin em out...that may be harsh...after all, we do have to sleep at night
besides, if they can't dl, they'll either leave of their own accord, or become helpful...either way, a dl ban would prevent the rape of bandwidth, which is really the point...I don't care about spanking the dumbass who doesn't care, I'm more interested in improving the quality of the community for those of us who give a shit...I'd vote for a dl ban, but otherwise, I think too many good folks might get turned off or shut out...any opinions guys

Yes, it would be necessary to first warn the user to give them a chance to improve their ratio.
