Freeleech of torrents younger than one week.
-
The site FAQ says that "Only torrents that are older than one week can be placed on freeleech." But I am seeing a lot of torrents that are younger than one week. Was this updated?
What I observed, especially for freeleech big torrents less than 3 days old, is that it sometimes causes our ratio to drop. This is cause by unseeded torrents that won't be finished before the freeleech period is over. Some members who are fixing their ratios let their torrent client to run freeleech torrents even when they are AFK because they feel sure that they will be finished before the period is over. If the torrent doesn't have a seed - uploader hasn't completely seeded the torrent - then it will stay in our clients messing our ratios because it will stay there even when its freeleech period is over. So I hope the FAQ will be followed. :police:

Sometimes our system administrators will decide to make a torrent freeleech, even though it is newer than the 7 day period. Doing this however cannot be done by a regular user. Even at my level as a mod, the system will not physically let me do it. Such cases are generally decided by our system administrators, who are the only ones who have that power.

There is a way, we the moderators, can make a "new" torrent freeleech: taking an old torrent, give it freeleech and than promote it to the top of the list (which changes the date to the current date/time, adds the recycle symbol to the title and the original date to the description).
