Perhaps you could hire someone to come over and read the results of your searches to prevent you from seeing something icky-wicky. They could also write your forum posts for you so you don't come across like a little brat.

Perhaps GT (and other sites) should fix its website and allow its users (the ones that make GT happen) the options to turn it off or on.  Weird how I never had to turn off seeing fisting vids even though fisting is the same type of extreme as scat.

The internet should be a safe place for everybody and your desires shouldn't spill over to tepid waters (tame, vanilla, lukewarm material) so much so to where it is becoming a norm and you're told to get over it when you keep seeing it. That's like going to a straight porn site and expecting to see straight porn and being bombarded with gay porn. I wouldn't blame those poor lads for bitching and I would feel bad for them.

Thank you for the laugh. : ) But you left out the adjective "entitled".

I don't think I'm being entitled. I just think that you don't like being questioned and held accountable. Whenever we're being confronted in ways we don't like, we often make ourselves the victim instead of seeing the person's side. I've never been entitled. From day one, I asked for a solution and what was asked of me I gave and I never made high demands.

@wolfyboy00:

I mean im just surprised people are soooo into OF/J4F, to be so eager for it..Its 'mostly' just random guys jacking off, nothing new.  :-X
Its like all I see on "top torrents" and freeleech these days….

There are a plethora of reasons. One, It's because people are tired of fake, overproduced, edited studio porn and amateur offers something real.  Second, a lot of pornstars today aren't as hot as they were before 2012 when sites like pornhub and porn hosting sites took off. They really killed the pornstar and my guess is porn no longer pays as much making it harder to get the "hot guys" to join. I mean, why would they when they get just create an OF/J4F? Some of them don't even have to get nude to get monetary donations! The last reason is simply that it is exclusive content that is hard to come by and an off-cam BTS experience.

Similarly to you, I don't get the appeal of OF. I'm not paying $10 for a 30-sec clip of someone (usually straight and boring) flashing wood or filming from a distance (a duo) via some tripod and low frame rate making every wank or thrust look like a tornado. However, I prefer duo scenes, professional settings, and 4K quality, apparently, a lot of people don't.

@bwonder:

Well, there lies the problem. I guess that means it is going to come up regardless of what I do.

It's sad, but I guess it's just your everlasting cross to bear (on a free site where other people do all the work).   :blownose:

Maybe you’re a little desensitized to such material but for people like me it can be a total buzzkill. Ever been in heat browsing porn on a hosting site then you see a disgusting ad of what looks like some underage kid or some chick taking the phallus of a hybrid creature or animal? That’s a total buzz kill for NORMAL people. I don’t need to know stuff like that exist and I have every right to avoid it at all cost. I blame this “ just get over attitude” for why pornography is becoming extreme with wolfboys, familydick, and pint size boy. That’s not the “tea”, sis.

BTW, I haven’t seen one request granted yet. They do all the work to upload what they want to upload in exchange for ratio points. I appreciate the collection torrents, when I don’t have to seed 50GB for a Kris Evans collection, but other than that, everything else I can get on porn hosting sites and I don’t even have to download the material. I do appreciate it though.

@Igor83:

LOL!!!

I never imagined that "Homemade" was defined as extreme porn…

Well, apparently it is because that is usually where the most extreme sexual gratification acts are posted. And it makes sense because most of the clips are made at home… What other category, other than fetish, have people screwing bedposts and putting 20 inch dildos and other foreign objects up their asses to the point of prolapse?

@mgr:

You can only turn off the 3 categories raphjd mentioned.

The other selections "only" select the categories for the search/browse functions. In your case I suggest: Turn off the 3 mentioned categories (straight, bi, and scat) and select just the categories you want to see. Be aware though that your profile selection can be overwritten in the search/browse selections. They are predefined just when you enter these functions.

Well, there lies the problem. I guess that means it is going to come up regardless of what I do.

BTW, no one reads rules. When people sign up for an Instagram accounts, do you honestly think they're reading the TOS? No. We learn as we go!

It's true, nobody reads the rules on Instagram & such social media sites. But you are expected to know the rules on a torrent site where other people share content for free.  You seem to be new to torrenting, and I wish you the best. You can upload new content if you have it and, as someone said, it's a good idea to download feeleech torrents and seed and seed and seed.

Thank you, but you’re late to the party. I already knew that I could upload files but I  wasn’t going to upload 60 GB worth of content. I wasn’t expecting to have to seed or upload just as much content as I DL. There needs to be a big ass disclaimer on collection torrents stating: If you download this torrent of 60 GB, you will spend the next day or two seeding this torrent (Freeleech or not)or be required to upload 60 GB of content. Luckily, the issue has been resolved and I know how to resolve it in the future.

@mgr:

I don't want to express opinion about your original post, kalayaan did so and your problem is solved.

Just a word to

@bwonder:

I seldom heard/read such an egocentric idiotically nonsense!

If that is the way you live or f.x. drive a car: God save us!!!

But back to GT.ru: when signing in (even in 2012) you promised to read the rules and FAQ. In 2012 there was a minimum ratio required of 0.35 that was later reduced to 0.25. Later on (IIRC in 2013) we implemented our still active rationator which will send warning messages to members in case they come in danger of a too low ratio. The rules and FAQ are still available from our homepage did you ever read them? I doubt it.

Ok - you uploaded a (1) new torrent but only earned 20.75 seed bonus points for seeding - that means seeding for about 41,5 hours.That's a really bad seeding time for 3 years membership  :police:

Just my 2 cents 

I see you’re an exaggerator. In what way is reading rules for a torrent beneficial or harmful to my life in a way that driving a car is? Get real. Lol.

@raphjd:

I think it's related to the 5 category thing.

I see that. I tried disabling all the popular categories and nothing works. Bummer because a lot of that stuff is a buzzkill and we should be given the option to disable it.

The shemale porn I no longer see, but I still see fetish, homemade, and other extreme catogories even when I disable them.

@bwonder:

Oh, wow! Would you LOOK at my ratio! A little less reprimanding and a little more action works best for me. Thanks again. Delete this thread.

Threads aren't deleted at GT, even ones started by flighty, self-indulgent members who aggressively refuse to meet even the most basic requirements – namely, to read the rules before they begin to use the site -- i.e., download in earnest.

You are well deserving of all the observations made in this thread.  To these, I'll add that in my many years here, I've rarely -- if ever -- encountered an individual with such a misplaced sense of entitlement.  Yeesh.

Well, everybody can't be as original, entertaining and honest as me. If you ask me, it was well deserve based on how condescending you were. All I did was ask a question and look for a solution. Lecture your child, not me. That's all.

BTW, no one reads rules. When people sign up for an Instagram accounts, do you honestly think they're reading the TOS? No. We learn as we go!

@kalayaan:

@bwonder:

Maybe I misunderstood, but GT wants me to upload  60.68 GB of video footage?  60.68 GB. I don't think I have that many clips on a single hard drive.

Maybe we should be forced to upload a video bi-weekly or once a month cause 60 GB is a lot of content to ask of a person.

I only saw this today and my reply is a hindsight but yes, you misunderstood what Gt.ru wants you to do when you fall below your current minimum maintaining ratio.

GT.ru wants you to seed (read your statistics), "you have to seed so and so byte size before you reach your crm". This will come from the torrents you are currently seeding whether it's your own upload or not.

Thank you. The issue has been resolved.

Oh, wow! Would you LOOK at my ratio! A little less reprimanding and a little more action works best for me. Thanks again. Delete this thread.

You should make a random thoughts thread for that.

@awesomeo:

Download large freeleach torrents and seed them, that is your best bet.

Thank you for actually offering a solution.  :hug2:

Marlon Brando. I was just 19, which is weird because that’s less than 10 years ago and Marlon had long been gone and I knew how he looked when he passed on. But how could anymore resist young Marlon Brando, right?

@raphjd:

We have always had "fair share" rules.   When the site started, we had stricter rules but made them less strict a few years later and again a few years after that.   I'm sure that the current "fair share" rules have been in place for at least 6 years.

Maybe you are confusing another gay torrent site.

Clearly you have no idea how the system works.

When you download a torrent, you give back as much as you take.  That could be a new video or whatever, OR just seed the same torrent you downloaded so another person can get it.

I had another account prior to 2016.  I Think I was a member since like 2012 on the other account that was disabled. Again, I didn’t use torrents like that. I only used them to find what I needed and go. I did not know it was a give and take community. Plus, the torrents I did download were collection files. How was I to know I’d have to upload and reseed a 40 GB collection? Had I known that, I would have been really selective about what I downloaded given the fact that most of them were junk videos.

@raphjd:

Have patience.

Anyway;

1. click on your name, left side under the blue bar

2. on the next page, click on Profile Settings near the top

3. on the next page you can turn off straight, bi and scat by ticking the boxes

4. below that, tick the boxes of the video types you want to see

5. scroll to the bottom and click Submit Changes

Awesome, thank you.

@flozen:

With respect, at the time of this writing you have a ratio of 0.100 – in other words, you have obtained TEN times the content than you have contributed.

You've been a member of GT since 2016, which, as a staggering understatement, has given you ample time to familiarize yourself with the clearly marked boards, threads and posts about ratios -- when your numbers fall into the danger zones, how to earn seedpoints in various fashions, etc.

And with your "Avg ULSpeed: Ø271.57 kB" -- that's quite powerful! -- it's even more of a mystery why you couldn't have left your torrent files open to give back with ease, and raise your ratio.

GT members don't expect you to contribute 60 GB of content at once, now that your privileges are endangered or suspended.  That's something you could have addressed, and at a leisurely pace -- during the long, long period that you basically have just "taken."

Actually, I've been a member for a lot longer. I just wasn't using torrents anymore due to streaming sites. I just started using GT again in hopes of finding a clip that was never posted. I stuck around and DL what I did. It hasn't been a "long, long period." I probably had next to nothing in my DL history prior to 2 weeks ago.

I don't remember these rules and restrictions being enforced a few years ago. However, that was then and this is now and I respect that.

I do leave my torrent files open but that isn't enough, clearly.

I was going to contribute what I have but 60 GB is excessive. I'm essentially uploading clips as much I download them when I never signed up to do that. I see if I can contribute here and there but 60 GB? I'd rather deal with those pesky ads on streaming websites. Also, I did contribute and based on that contribution I was given 12 clips to download. Whether or not I choose to download all at once or over the span of 2 months is how I choose to download them. Taxing us by the GB is absurd, especially when we probably don't have that much content to give.

Now that we've gotten that out of the way, how do I resolve this? Should I bother or just say Goodnight n Go?

Maybe I misunderstood, but GT wants me to upload  60.68 GB of video footage?  60.68 GB. I don't think I have that many clips on a single hard drive.

Somebody? Anybody?

What's the point of this forum if no one speaks and request aren't fulfilled?

I went to settings and all of that, but I don't see an option to turn-off Shemale porn. I'd also like to turn-off more extreme porn like fisting and cartoon beast. Thanks.
