I think you need to get 500 DLs before you qualify, good luck hope you get there soon.

It was not me requesting - God forbid - it was an answer to another contributor who was asking.

here's the link:

I know that Lobo is touchy about direct links being posted here and the page will probably disappear shortly, so here's the screen shot.

For ages now it's been impossible to allow new exclusives as they have 'lost' the acceptance rates.
I don't see why that should prevent someone with 500dls from becoming exclusive, should they want to, as they don't need a 50% AR.
But hey, it seems like the London Olympics/Ticketmaster coders went to the same coding school as those at iStock:

Good idea on the screen cap.  I'm beginning to think screen capping IS's messes and posting them here is something we should start doing on a regular basis.
