    As you have may noticed for some times now, quality releases becomes rare, so rare in fact that it is more and more difficult to detect them, lost as they are inside tons of shitty releases like encoders, media players and... samples packs or construction kits for brain-dead youngsters.

    If you're a normal and balanced person, facing what may appear a disaster which require to take urgent action, the first thing that comes to mind is to retrieve the IP address of the culprit releasers (by hacking our sister site), take a flight to Russia/Ukraine/Moldavia/..., kidnap and torture an employee of each related provider until he/she reveals the physical address of these bastards... whose empty head will then be blown up by your sweety .50 sniper rifle.

    Unfortunately, some legal considerations could possibly dampen (for the moment) the less enthusiastic among us in the final accomplishment of their cleansing mission. This is why I suggest two alternatives that would achieve (near) the same result while saving the cost of airplanes tickets and expensive cartridges:
    • Create a dedicated section were the parasites may post their fucking shitty pollutant "releases"... OUT AND FAR FROM OUR VIEW.
    • Create an "INSTRUMENTS & EFFECTS ONLY" subsection inside the SOFTWARE section - where for the time being we actually fall on those craps inside WIN/MAC subsections. This way, we will also avoid all the shitty samples packs.
    Feel free to comment...

    EDIT: There is a minor disadvantage to the second alternative: an eventual great library may not be visible to the people who don't take the time to check the SAMPLES section, into which, btw, everything is mixed higgledy-piggledy (as an example, the samples pack "Jilax Sample Pack Vol. 1 (Progressive Trance) WAV" which has been tagged as "Samples" and "Instruments" is therefore found in the "Instruments" subsection while it's only a samples pack). To avoid this, a subsection named "Pricey Libraries" may be created which will contains only libraries with a price tag higher than, let's say, 100€.

    ive already suggested a user-controlled filter system so users can filter what they want to see when logging in to the site. like for me id love to be able to filter out wav & loop releases. sister site does let you see specific releases already. but id like a filter to act like " everything but xxxxx releases

    Do you believe that I would have taken the time to write this post if it were possible for me to "live with it"?

    I think it takes .. hmm .. 2 seconds to go to the left of the home page and click the purple buttons called software or Samples, and you will only see what you want. If you wanted to see only the latest Kontakt libraries you would click Samples then Kontakt. And btw, one man's meat is another man's pile of poo. For example when I see Trap, Rap, Hip-Hop I see poo :rofl:

    Have you considered the third option? Stop complaining about free stuff.

    More often than not I have found really interesting stuff on the site that I would never have found if it wouldn't have been posted there, and I ended up buying some of it, too. I personally don't care much about those Converters, or about samples and presets, but to me they belong to the sister site too, and occasionally I see something that is interesting despite having no general interest in the category. I do agree however that certain apps are posted too often. Perhaps if Saint agrees, he could talk to the uploader and limit the upload of certain apps to something like once a week, or once a month. Other than that I don't understand why people are getting so angry about it. R2R is in full swing and releasing like crazy, there is more than enough of their releases, so what's the big deal?

    Dig it?
    And if something remains unclear, please feel free to read again my post, this time more carefully.

    I never asked to prohibit them, I just want to avoid seeing them in the front page, mixed with instruments, effects and valuable libraries. Read again my message until perfect understanding.
    Thank you.

    Without complaints, criticisms and the powerful desire to make things better - which leads to evolution -, you could never have answered me in such a silly way. To tell the truth, you could never have answered me at all.

    'You could never have answered me in such a silly way'

    Says the guy who speaks about doxing and shooting people because he doesn't get the plugins he wants...You talk about evolution, how about evolving your plugin collection from warez to legit and stop whining...The whole purpose is try before you buy. I stand by my point, stop complaining about free stuff.

    Please, where and how precisely? I can't find what you're talking about?

    The solution is to have a filter/category section that actually works.

    you can use the selection (purple text - click on the + link to offer sub lists)on the left hand side of the webpage to select different genres/software/etc, rather than just browsing through the main update page which displays everything

    (or use the search function?)

    with regards to crappy apps and wretched samples packs, it is what it is, if you want free stuff then be grateful with what is offered

    OMG, you thought I was serious saying to blow their head? Make a fart, eat a clown and relax, man.
    My suggestion has NOTHING to do with the fact that I don't have the plugins I want. It's about the plugins I DON'T WANT!
    Stand by your point if you want but don't try to assert it by including concepts such as "try before buy" which have nothing to do with the subject. Muddy the waters and divert the debate are politics' specialty, so leave that to them, you're too weak at this game.
