Do I use the wrz request for fresh links or a PM request for supported premium links for the previous two? I want to follow rules, and since this is exactly the situation I mentioned when I brought this up in October, I wanted to point it out and get clarification, if I could, please. Thank you.
You must have been very quick to report, I checked and the links work.
Happy Holidays!
... those are NOT the links I looked at when I got the first (the first two didn't contain centfile), so yes, she must have updated them between my asking and your checking. So that's wonderful and I'm very thankful.
However, what would I do if a poster does not update the older links? Because that has been a thing that I encounter, and more than a day or two or three after the new book is posted.
Hi, Iris! I'm not sure I understand your question exactly so I'll go over the whole process, just to be sure.
1) Dead links are encountered. Poster is Active. --> Hit the Reupload request button. If no response within 3 days, post in topic letting us know there's no response. If a poster has just added new books to an older post and gets a reup request, they'll know it's for the older links. Most of the time, they update all of their links when they add new content so this situation should be rarely encountered. If you do find it happening more than rarely with a specific uploader, contact an ebooks mod who is online and explain the situation.
2) Dead links are encountered. Poster is listed as inactive or has not visited the board in more than three days. --> Post in topic letting us know links are dead and poster not available. Depending on the situation, we'll either move the post to Expired so someone else can post a new release or we'll ask for mirrors.
3) New post has dead links within a few hours/days. Post in the topic and we'll get in touch with the poster to find out what the issue is.
Basically, the whole situation is just a clarification of what has always been in the rules: 1) Contact the OP (via PM - now via Reupload button) 2) If no response, post in the topic and let the mods take it from there.
I hope that clarifies everything for you - have a wonderful holiday season!
