Thank you for the clarification.

What is the site's official position on downloading a torrent containing only a video, gathering a few .jpg images from the video, and then uploading the bundled .jpg images and the video as a new torrent?  Is this considered a duplicate?

Another difference since the last upgrade is that using a hyphen to exclude a word no longer works.  Instead of excluding only torrents with that word, it excludes ALL torrents.  Try it with something like -collection if you want to test it. It appears the latest upgrade doesn't want us to use GREP expressions any longer.

If your ratio is on the low side, there are additional things you can do to boost it.  They include reporting duplicates, uploading additional images for torrents, rating torrents you've downloaded, etc. They all earn seed bonus which you can exchange for upload credit on your ratio.

@amicusets:

There are zero criminal charges pending against Donald Trump for sexual assault of a minor. Really, is it that hard to google shit before you spread misinformation?

Speaking of spreading misinformation, you should practice what you preach. There WERE pending charges against him for sex with a 13-year old girl until a couple days prior to the election. At that time, his accuser withdrew her complaint and dropped out of the spotlight. Her reasons for dropping the charges have not been made public. She may have initially filed a false complaint, she may have been badgered by the media beyond her ability to cope, she may have reached a financial settlement with Trump, she may be too traumatized by the legal quagmire to go on, or any of dozens of other scenarios. The only known fact is that without her to accuse him, no charges can be prosecuted at this time.

@rawr:

Holy crap… Some of you guys are seriously brainwashed by the media.

#7 The Republican party is not against gay people. They completely moved off of the marriage equality issue prior to last election cycle. There are GLB Republicans and much of the recent political turmoil has revolved around transgender people and I feel bad for them. Honestly I don't think politicians know how to respond to that issue.

Perhaps you should actually read the Republican Party Platform from their own web site before you make such ill-informed statements. Check out section 6 titled "Great American Families, Education, Healthcare, and Criminal Justice" and you'll find they explicitly want to redefine legal marriage to "one man one woman" excluding ALL same sex marriages.

Before you try to tell us these bigots are not bad guys, take a few minutes and read their own words.

@MrMazda:

The answer to that is simple… Trump either needs to be convicted of his pending sexual offense charges involving a minor, OR he needs to get caught pulling a Bill Clinton and getting head in the Oval Office by an intern :lolp:

The first option became invalid a couple days before the election. His accuser dropped the charges and has gone silent. The prosecutor says that without a victim, no case. I find myself wondering whether she was threatened or paid off.

@semurg30:

One silver lining…Trump is going to gut the Republican Party.

Really? Have you looked at his Transition Team (the people who will set up his new Cabinet)?? He demoted Chris Christie (slightly more liberal) and put Mike Pence in charge. He's got the A-Team of anti-LGBTQ set to run the Executive Branch.

I bought a new T-shirt to commemorate this election. It shows the preabmle to the Constitution (We The People . . . ) and over the top is a big red rubber stamped "ARE SO SCREWED".

Of course I'm worried. My husband and I had to wait 22 years before we had the right to be married in California. Then, 6 months later, that right was stripped by a ballot initiative. Our marriage was left hanging in limbo again. The Supreme Court's Obergefell v. Hodges ruling which allowed same sex marriage across the entire U.S. was only a 5-4 ruling. Despite the claims that it's been decided once and for all, the history of the court shows otherwise. There have been many decisions throughout history which have later been reversed - think about the sodomy laws which were upheld then later overturned. Currently the Republican party holds the majority in both houses of Congress and in the White House. They have chipped away at Roe v. Wade with the eventual intent of overturning it. They are also doing the same to Obergefell v. Hodges with their Religious Freedom Restoration acts. This is a time for all people of color, all women, and all LGBTQ people in the USA to live in terror. Even if Trump is impeached for some reason, that leaves Pence. Pence is an advocate of making all abortions illegal, even in the cases of rape or the survival of the mother. Pence has also advocated electro-shock therapy equivalent to torture banned by the Geneva Convention to convert LGBTQ people to straight. He pushes this even though the medical community has debunked the conversion therapy as not only ineffective, but actually harmful.

This election has set LGBTQ and women's rights back 60 years.

@z3n1th:

I'm sure that it will take more than 1 man to UN-great America…

Again, read the news. The U.S. House of Representatives is now majority Republican. The U.S. Senate is now majority Republican. He has built a team of such hate mongers as Rudy Giuliani, Newt Gingrich, Cory Lewandowski, Chris Christy, Steve Bannon, Roger Ailes, Al Baldasaro, etc.

It won't be one man. It will be a firestorm of hate.
