Feedback / New rules on money links

Dear lsdb users,

We would like to inform you of a new set of rules regarding socalled 'money links'. We have been seeing an increasing rise in random people adding links to sets that lead to a website that pays the uploader per download.
We do not allow such behavior and it is bannable without warning. This rule also applies to people rehosting content on their own website from other people.
Over the past months we have been weeding these people out but apperantly it is required to make a post about this as common sense doesn't seem to be a blessing for all of us.

Sites include but are not limited to:
Duckload, easy-share, sharecash, uploadables.com, filefactory, linkbucks, ziddu, uploaded (ul.to), depositfiles, fileserve, freakshare, hotfile, bitshare and wupload

We have a list of recommended hosts, even though some of these have reward programmes, we feel like these are trustworthy sites and should be used by people adding to lsdb:

Zippyshare, Megaupload, Rapidshare, Mediafire, Multiupload

I'm currently looking into it. Its very hard to draw a line somewhere as some sites are clearly only used for making money off downloads, whilst some sites (such as megaupload) offer very low payment and have an excellent user interface as well.

x7.to rewards you with 2 € per advertised premium user,
1 € for every follow order & up to 3 Cent per download.

Als je account aanmaakt kun je bij megaupload ook tot 1gig uploaden ofzo.. Weet niet hoe grote setjes je van plan bent

WeTransfer & Multiupload are good for big files

But I didn't know that Hotfile is a money link too

hotfile vind ik ook gewoon een doenbare uploadsite hoor met de rest ben ik akkoord.
je kan er wel geld mee verdienen maar downloadsnelheid is tenminste niet aan 5kb/sec als al die andere zooi

Those sites only took about half an hour to download a set Also http://www.largedocument.com/LargeDocumentUploader_Web_2_0_0.swf is another good site for uploading the bigger files, I use it at times

Zippyshare is minstens even snel als hotfile. Megaupload idem dito.

Duckload, easy-share, sharecash, uploadables.com, filefactory, linkbucks, ziddu, uploaded (ul.to), depositfiles, fileserve, freakshare, hotfile, bitshare and wupload

Hotfile verwijderd files door niet bestaande copyright claims.
