I must agree with a rule for requester to create request using post generator. And uploader to provide only link and moderator to move thread from requests to releases.
I think the button [report] could be used to mark thread so that moderator will move the request to releases.
Also regarding the dilema:
I think there are some good users (active users) and bad users (inactive users).
Bad users are leaches that come make a request then go. Their request is like BennyP described in Post: #6. They just try and don't care.
Good users are those that come make a request, post some material, follow the rules and so one. They interact with CivilEA in both ways.
I think a good user posted something else than requests and so he knows the rules and could follow them. Also a good user values the effort of uploader, and values the requested document/software (Post: #5) and so I think there are some high chances that he/she will use the PG to make a request.
I don't think that having a huge number of ugly requests from bad users is useful for the good users. After all if a good user needs a document/software he will request it. And his request won't be lost in a huge list of bad requests from bad users.
So if bad users don't receive help they will be "forced" to leave or become good users (learn how to ask for help).
Maybe posting requests should be allowed only after user is a little more active than Newcomers, after some posts.
