How do you earn SBP
-
This is a carry over from another thread. A guide or FAQ could not be found on how to earn Seed Bonus Points and cannonmc suggested that one be made.
However, I don't think I know all the ways in which one can earn SBPs.
Here is a list and if there are other ways add a post.
1. First Time Uploader Program. 600 SBP for a first time uploader
2. Vote on categories. 2 SBP for each vote on a category of a torrent you upload or completely download
3. Seed torrents. .5 SBP per hour when you seed.
4. Start forum thread. 5 SBP
5. Reply to a forum thread 1 SBP
6. Gift from other members on torrent you have uploaded.
7. Add photos to a torrents detail page 1 SBP per photo
8. Report a duplicate torrent 50 SBP
9. Invite your friends 250 SBP per person that joins.What are the other ways?

Good start, LEVI
Popper also pointed to the Rationator page - perhaps we should check that out to see if anything is missing. You seem to have covered the ones I could think of.
On #9, 250 points is the amount you 'spend' for an invite. If you invite someone you actually get 2GB added to your upload total.
Once we are sure we (that is, you) have got the complete list, then I think it should be made a sticky topic in at least the Ratio forum, perhaps copied to other forums.
Well done

It seems to miss out the forum topics (5 points) and posts (1 point), as does the rationator page.
Invitations don't earn points and the referrer link is broken …

I think the forum points are dealt with at LEVI's #4 and #5. And I did mention that invites earn upload not points.
I think LEVI has listed all the ways. Sad to say that the easiest way (after your first upload) to gain lots of points is by reporting duplicate torrents
Now if we could nominate an easy to find forum and put this in a sticky thread of its own, it would save a lot of people having to explain it anew each time someone asks.

Okay, #9 was referring to the referral link.
Which is broken.
Most of this was gathered from the rationator page.

Me bad …
The good news is that the referrer link may get repaired relatively soon, I cross fingers here :afr:
Another small point is that category voting is per torrent on which is voted, not per category vote. this is on purpose not to give an inventive to vote for not relevant categories. Even voting the main category again is worth while, it will increase its relevance / importance.

Well since you can only vote once.
Now that reminds me. On DVD's there is no DVD category to vote on. So each time I vote on a DVD upload I have to pick another category which doesn't seem like it would be the best and could remove the DVD from the DVD category unless there is a system safe guard against that happening.
