I both agree and disagree with the OP. I do think that the process is so slow… The problem I have is I work everyday (teacher), and it takes several hours in order for it to get approved (about 8 average for me so far, but only done it 4 times so far, here and sextorrents) but then I have to wait for 3-4 people to get it. So it takes at least 12 hours or more to be able to shut off my computer.
Since I have a family, I can't leave my computer on uploading porn while I leave (I can't trust a 11 year old to NOT mess with the computer). So essentially I have to wait for a day off to upload something.
HOWEVER I understand why it is the way it is. While I do think 10 is high (when someone's uploaded 5 good videos they are probably okay, but maybe better safe than sorry), I do appreciate the fact that I have yet to download a file here that's a dummy/fake/virus. We also have an extensive library, good seeders, but mostly we have a qualitative library. In which I mean 2GB files instead of LQ. So overall the positives greatly outweigh the negatives. If we had immediate posting we'd all be waiting in the comments for people saying "Real file" or "fake". We'd have lots of random miscategorized files (don't you appreciate being able to search bears and not see a bunch of twinks or vice versa?).
As for it taking a long time for a mod to check something. I'm guessing gaytorrents pays very little (if they do at all) for a full time mod. So I just can't be mad at someone for doing a voluntary job... Especially since this is a free site. C'mon, one video you've downloaded already saved you about $19.95 it would've cost to buy it...
So I'll just keep on uploading on my day offs until I reach 10, and then submit auto approval. And be mad at myself if I make a mistake at #9 or #10 and have to start over xD
Someone said, 'Uploaders have little to no incentive to support the site other then their desire to help other gay members' and I was sort of shocked to see they said that as a negative thing... I don't know, the world out there is so homophobic and nonsupporting sometimes that "help other gay members" seems to me to be more than enough. It took me long enough to start uploading, (I've downloaded 382 GB), but I just saw it as a way to help out people after being helped for so long. I don't know, maybe it's just me, but I get happy when I see people downloading my files, like I've done something nice for a community that's been extra awesome to me.
