[Resources] Efficient way to blacklist/set requirements

[Capaldi]

Currently you are only able to blacklist members from resources and/or set requirements one by one and that is not efficient.
If you have several resources that you want to blacklist members from and/or add requirements to, you will need to do it one by one and that is a tedious task to do.

Yes, resource authors can blacklist members from a resource and/or set requirements before they upload the resource, however, for those who later on want to blacklist a member (or members) and/or set requirements, they'll have to do it one by one instead of having the option to do it for all resources.

There should be two options;

1. Blacklist members from resource to resource / Set requirements by resource
2. Blacklist members from all resources / Set requirements for all resources

More to that -

I think a bulk modification tool in general could be nice, for instance if somebody has one hundred resources, and he modified his terms of service, then I think he should be able to bulk update it for all of his resources, or at least the ones he chooses to do so for.

The example you provided is already implemented (unless specified else in the resource itself).

Wouldn't this encourage more users to leak resources and go search for your resources on leak websites?
I do like the idea but it's getting it to work that would be a possible problem.

But it would also result in less resources being leaked, therefore being unable to download a leaked resource in the first place.

Good point. Yea..

No. If people are going to use other sites they are going to do it. I personally would rather not deal with charge-backs and it is an option to set mass blacklist members / mass set requirements, no one is forced into doing either of those.

Fair enough.

I can definitely see the appeal of us implementing this, however, I believe that the cost of us custom developing this (both time and money) outweigh the benefits that this would add. We have tonnes of custom development in our queue to do that is simply a higher priority than this so we’d never end up finding the time to develop this.

Additionally, at the moment we aren't planning to do any more development for our site until we can migrate to XF2 since we'll have to rewrite everything then.

Denied, thanks for the suggestion
