Suggestion: File Obituaries
-
Every now and again, torrents that I've downloaded from here (and ones that I am seeding) disappear from the tracker. I'm the curious type and I always wonder why they disappeared. My suggestion is to provide a thread in the forum to track these deleted torrents and to provide notice as to why they were removed. I'd also like to see a feature where those who downloaded either a damaged or virus-infected file could be notified of the danger. Possible ?

Well, there is already the Log > http://tracker.gaytorrent.ru/log.php and a function allowing to write to all peers of a torrent is AFAIK on te to-do list since months (or years).

The #1 reason a torrent would just disappear is if it is found to be a duplicate after it has been approved by staff and leechers are downloading it. Then it would be moved a Category called Mod's Only to allow leechers to complete the download and then it is deleted from the tracker completely.
#2 reason would be a banned torrent / Studio. These torrents are deleted immediately regardless of leechers.
#3 reason would be if a Studio / Producer asks that it be removed from our tracker.These torrents are also deleted immediately regardless of leechers.
#2&3 would prevent there ever being a thread about why a torrent was deleted. I realize this could cause confusion with members but it is unavoidable I'm afraid.
Damaged or infected files are also deleted after a thorough investigation. I do not know about a thread to announce this but I can see where it is maybe a wise idea. Let's see what other staff thinks about your suggestion.

Dead torrents are as well occasionally removed and there are still "missing" torrent file descriptions which are to be treated. Both can be followed in the Log.

I wasn't aware of the log. Having a look at it, I couldn't find the deleted torrent I was looking for. [ sp8234_out of hand ]
Being on the to-do list is good. However . . . .
