Policy on duplicate uploads and seed points thus earned.
-
Hi all. I have a policy question for members of staff. If someone uploads a duplicate torrent, and it is reported and deleted, does the uploader keep the seedpoints he earned for the duplicate? What about any "thank you" points?
-
Yes on both questionsÂ
Take care,

OK, thanks. Just to be clear, this would include serial duplicators, even if they are eventually denied privaledges (sp?), not just the ocassional mistake-makers, yes?

I'm not sure what your interest is, in these internal workings of the site (and let's make this be the final question, ok?) but… YES.

OK, that was the last question, I promise!
My only interest stems from the fact that I see a lot of dups, and in some ways I'm a little jealous because I've tried to upload stuff myself, but haven't been able to in the past three years due to open ports or something like that. I think it may have something to do with the fact I live in Sri Lanka, and have a Sri Lankan provider? Anyway, I want to participate but have found that aspect frustrating, especially when I have some stuff not yet uploaded, but I see others benefitting from working the system, so to speak. So I guess you could call it jealousy of a sort. I've managed to build up my ratio through a combo of adding pics, finding dups, and making annual donations to the site.
Anyway, thanks mucho for answering my questions. I know you guys are super busy, and I appreciate all the work you guys do to keep this site up and running.

If you see duplicates please report them. You earn 50 points per duplicate if its deemed a real dupe when the report is processed.
DUPLICATE files are not allowed and will be removed. You are expected to run a search for duplicates prior to submitting a torrent. Duplicates may be accepted when part of a themed collection. A file is considered a duplicate if an existing torrent has the same format and similar size (<10% difference) and has at least one seeder.
