You state you have not made requests that often, which maybe for a new person may be right I am not sure. From a very quick count you have made 13 request topics, requesting 67 albums in total since January. This does not include any replies to the posts or other peoples posts with further requests. I am all for people making requests but I just think for every 10-20 albums you request you should at least try and give something back to the community, it's a small gesture to the great people who have provided so much here.
Please note this is not just directed at you and I don't mean it to pick on you so to speak.
I notice you went to the time and trouble of counting the number of albums I requested over several posts. It's difficult to take someone seriously when they resort to this level of digging just to criticise another member. It's like when people count the number of swearwords in a TV programme so they can include the number in a letter of complaint.
If a member does something to harm the site in any way the moderators are there to act.
If I see someone asking a question to which I have the answer, then I answer for their benefit, but this opportunity has hardly ever presented itself.
If I am to contribute, well I could probably upload pages from catalogues as I have a few of those. I have old LP and CD catalogues from Sonoton, Intersound, Colorsound, de Wolfe, Amphonic (Sound Stage), Peer International, Omnimusic, and one or two others I can't remember.
I usually ask people if they already have the material on their systems. I don't ask people to rip specially from vinyl or go to a lot of work. At the moment my only requirements are the entries still active on my various posts. If people already have them, then perhaps they may post a link, and everyone will benefit. If not, well it's not that big of a deal really.
