Asking For Seed Bonus Gifts
-
hi all.
just a quick question. i spotted on some torrents that people are using different ways of asking for seed bonus but when i uploaded a torrent i was informed a "no begging" policy was being enforced.
im not asking for a way around this but just wondered if there was a certain way i am meant to phrase it on my torrent description to let people know that i appreciate seed bonus gifts a lot.
looking forward to hearing back.

I think it's just because that we started to regulate that, after the first beggers appeared and complains about it started, so you will be one of the first victims of "no begging" policity.
At least good manners should avoid anything asking bluntly for bonus points and think to many potential givers of points it has just the opposite effect.
It is a new function and guides will be established if and as needed.

That sounds alright.
But to see begging and hopefully WITH ALL CAPS in every other torrent would bug me. Just my opinion.

SEED.BONUS.MUCH.APPRECIATED
and what about this added to the torrent title?

Umm no thanks.
There should probably be some rule stating what is acceptable and what not.
-
Two things should be clear:
1/ Asking for seed bonus points has not to be in the torrent title. There should be studio, movie name and possible other useful information about what the torrent content is only
2/ No all CAPITAL letters, in the title (except the movie title is all caps, e.g. C.R.A.Z.Z.Y) or description. Single words in caps to emphasize them are allowed (this is a standard netiquette rule)A gentle indication in the description that "Thank yous" are appreciated will certainly pass the censorship
NB.: This is not an official GayTorrent.ru rule or guide, only my personal view

damn
there goes my seed bonus LOL
/end rantohh well.. if people have extra seed bonus and they dont have any problems giving it away, then why not?
though I wonder why people would beg for it
they will just ASK ! and not BEG (or bug people they know to gift them)but i think we all disagree with "SEED.BONUS.MUCH.APPRECIATED" in torrent file title

It's all in a way of saying/writing it.

/end rantActually, you lost another chance at seed bonus just a few seconds ago… I went to look at what you were uploading, and got the not-allowed-by-security message. So I don't have an easy way to find where to give those points you crave.
I've got seed I'm waiting to spread, but have yet to see what I want to spread it on... you can check my requests to find out more. I wonder if there's a way to attach requests to my profile...

I would reject that and send it back to the uploader to fix it, without thinking twice about it.

Sadly though, the ones I have seen were Auto Approve users so we can only see it after is has been posted.

@mods/admins
why I cant receive seed bonus gifts?
is it only for the original uploader?
what if I re-seed something which I didn't upload originally?~rR

sorry rR but, yes, the seed bonus gift is only for the original uploaders and not re-seeders…

I think he meant, he's not giving because he can't see your stats.
Which is as far as I'm concerned, as it says in the settings Privacy level.

Yes, it is only for the original uploader and since there is no torrent you uploaded originally alive, you can't get the seed bonus point gifts …
In addition, having set strong privacy level, means to give gifts to someone one can not see it's name and situation, supposedly a Power User (having good ratio), moderator or administrator ...
It is the current design (limitation?) of this new feature making "new" torrent posting attractive
-
Like all the mods and admins my privacy level is set to strong but I have recieved seed bonus points as other uploading mods.
The idea behind the seed bonus is to reward uploaders for good uploads.
Finally, if a user post a comment in this forum I believe his stats are listed under his avatar. That way you can tell if they really need help from seed bonus points or not. -
Yep.
But you can't see which torrents a person with strong privacy level has uploaded to give a seed bonus gift to one of them, in case one wants to help. It's why the chance is missed to get a seed gift
Haven't upload anything present, even without a protected Profile a member could not get a seed bonus point gift.

thats bad, its not good for those who are good mirrors, and re-seed
i suggest that GT.ru should use this feature as encouragment for re-seeding old/dead stuff
@Uwe:In addition, having set strong privacy level, means to give gifts to someone one can not see it's name and situation, supposedly a Power User (having good ratio), moderator or administrator …
I did not get this point ! Does this mean only Power Users, mods and admins can give seed bonus gifts??
what about those who have loads of extra seed bonus but arent PU/mod/admin ??
are they not allowed to give away seed bonus?
if not, then why the descrimination ?
/side rant
wow! that sounds so politically correct, "descrimination"?!! LMAO =))
i wonder where i picked up that word.. ohh wait, I am gay!!! 
LOLz!!!
/end rantUpdate- just read the next page comments
i am still puzzled, privacy settings and what not?? !! ???@Uwe:

hmmm, well maybe yes, I have Daddy's Teenage Turn On, which I was going to upload on GT.ru
but got tooooooooo lazy (and work load too)
maybe i'll do it this weekend
/side rant
yeah yeah, its so easy to upload a torrent and all, i know
but tell that to someone who didnt do it .. at all !
also i am sceptical about the hoops and holes i use to access/download from GT.ru
will i be able to seed/upload a torrent successfully?
dunno, i'll have to try
sometimes you just gotta do it !
and leave the rest to … errrmm.. admins?? LOLz!!
/end rant~rR

No anyone can give seed bonus points as gift.
This was related to the possibility to set the Profile privacy level to strong. Reserved to Power User, Moderators and Administrators and …?

I think he meant, he's not giving because he can't see your stats.
Which is as far as I'm concerned, as it says in the settings Privacy level.That's close. It's not so much the stats, as the uploaded torrents, since that's where one can give seed bonus.
If I can't easily find out which torrents I need to go to to give a seed bonus, I'm not going to do it. Chances are good that if you are uploading something I like, you are also downloading and/or seeding other things I'd like. I can't reward you for it if I don't know about it though.
Let's say that I like bears with lots of foreskin. (Those who know me know just how much of a stretch that is.
) And you upload something called "Bear Skins Rug #4", that happens to be just what I'm looking for. If your privacy settings let others see you are also seeding #1, 2, and 5, and have downloaded #3. You can bet a policeman's donuts that I'm going to give you bonus, not just for the one you uploaded, but for leading me to the other ones as well. Of course, the only way I can give it to you is through your upload of #4, but what do you care, as long as you get it.Like all the mods and admins my privacy level is set to strong
I didn't notice this before, but it does make it tough for mods and admins to lead me to stuff I'd enjoy. I guess that's to make it hard for people to figure out what you like, so they can get special privileges for uploading your favourite type of material. Or is there some other good reason I'm missing for running with strong privacy settings?
