A bit of advice for those requesting seed bonus
-
I know, I know…yet ANOTHER thread on seed bonus. This one is just a bit of advice.
Anyway, I have no problem with people asking for seed bonus, and I try to remember to give seed bonus each time I download a torrent. So, just a bit of advice for those who include something along the lines of (seed bonus appreciated) with each torrent they upload.
It stands to reason that, the best way to earn seed bonus is by enticing people to download your contributions. The more downloaders, the more chances for seed bonus. Yet, on too many torrents, I see with those requests, there isn't much info provided to entice me to download.
A description of "Two twinks fucking", with a few pictures of not the greatest quality, is one I'll just skip over. How about some tags? Bareback? Safe? Oral? Flip flop? If the pictures aren't "worth a 1000 words", how about typing 15 or 20 more in the description? This is especially important on amateur clips where I won't find any info on tlavideo or aebn.net, etc.
Long story short, if the uploader had put in an extra minute of effort, (in other words, if you want it, work for it), they'd see more downloads, and more seed bonus. (Then again, if they can't be bothered to put in the effort to provide download-quality descriptions, chances are they don't visit the forums, either.)
OK, taking the rag off now. :cheesy2:
That's my ten cents
My two cents is free
A nuisance. Who sent
You sent for me?Hmmmmm...I wonder if Eminem's really would melt in my mouth. ;D

On the other hand, the seeder has already put in some effort. We aren't really doing him favour by downloading (although we may be doing him favour by giving any bonus points).
Personally I consider it an achievement if more than 5% of the leechers actually pause to say thanks (seed bonus or no)

Then again, if I choose not to download it, then I'm definitely not doing him any favors.

But how will he know… that you chose not to, that is :sigh:

When he doesn't see my name in the "thank you" list. Like I said, I make it a point to try and give every uploader some bonus. For the most part, I usually give 5 points for clips of single scenes, and anywhere from 15-25 (sometimes more if it's something I know I'll watch many times) for whole movies. My ratio is high enough (5.5) that I don't bother cashing in seed bonus for traffic anymore, for that very reason.
Also, I left a comment similar to the one I opened this thread with, on one of the person's uploads. Since there are a lot of uploads, all in a certain category, and downloaded from another particular site, I'm fairly certain it's the same person.
