@cumeaternc:

Secondly, The First Time uploader program is not a site option or even a staff option to "enable" during your first upload.  The first time uploader program is something I came up with personally to reward the hard work it takes to upload a new torrent while actually following the rules.  Other mods and even admins have given points to uploaders once we find them but all the points that I have given away have been earned by me through uploads of my own.

Gee, my bad on that and thanks for the initiative. Hope site devs would somehow integrate this idea to the system which would also help fledgling uploaders a lot.

@cumeaternc:

Finally, the sad thing about your first upload was that you were seeding too many torrents during the upload process.  This slows down you initial seeding speed and it slows down the approval process as most mods that work the torrent approval section will send you a note saying you are seeding/leeching too much and then move the next torrent in the queue.  It also disqualified it for the first time uploader program since a mod had to intervene during torrent approval.

Hahahah yeah kinda noticed that too cause I was trying to seed like crazy to up my ratio, only then I realized the BIGGER advantage of being an uploader than merely a seeder. BTW, thanks for the seed points :cheers:, wasn't expecting that

MY GAWD!!! I just have to say, WOOOF!!!  :xpl:       :sickr:

I also think that uploaders already have an advantage over those that downloaded files then become seeders. However, I hope new users are given some kind of privelege like extra seed bonus or something because it's somewhat hard to maintain a good ratio unless I upload a huge file sized torrent since most of the video files available here are around 1gig or more. It was too late for me when I found out about the first uploader bonus (I was already on my third upload) && I hope the system developers would make it automatic somehow…

off topic ::) I also hope that users have access to other torrents uploaded by other users (I'm a new user so I'm not really sure if this feature is available; so far, I haven't seen any). It would be easier for users to track down uploads of their fave uploaders (not sure how this will work out with the site's privacy regulations) AND for uploaders to keep their torrents alive, consequently making it also easier to up their ratio (esp. for new users).
