@xenu:

… maybe the real reason is simply the extra work it would entail for the staff to create such a bonus?

if that is the case i understand totally- you have a lot to do already for such few people. and i know even fewer do the majority of it, since i look at the staff link to gauge how long my torrents might have to wait to be posted finally. …

That is the very reason. We got only one Administrator part time working on changes to the site and tracker. Moderators do not have access to it (and that is better). There are things on the to do list since I am Moderator. That is why I spoke about being "limited" or mgr in many posts say he agrees but we shall not keep our breath until changes happen because he can't give any forecast of an implementation.

Thank you Uwe. Damn, that wasn't so hard. lol
All the other "reasons" did not make sense. THAT does.
P.S. (to ballard1: who is that in the avatar?  woof!)

i dont know how my point that uploaders should get bonus points for uploading a posted torrent keeps being ignored.

instead bonus points are awarded for seeding torrents no one is leeching, and for uploading photos to someone else's post.

agreed that in case someone wants to download a torrent that has as many seeders as some of the ones i have done, it is easy, but to keep seeding along with dozens or hundreds of other seeders with nil leechers seems pointless:

my uploaded seeding has more life, but still they will be dead in a couple days:


i believe it was on another thread that a moderator suggested he be PM-ed if his green light was on because he could be conducting other business elsewhere on the site and did not always check the unposted torrent link or page where they go…i wont say WHO because i dont want them scolded.

as for the bit about the photos not being added until after to get more points- that is on this thread.

the whole reason i started this was because without new uploads this site would die.

maybe the real reason is simply the extra work it would entail for the staff to create such a bonus?

if that is the case i understand totally- you have alot to do already for such few people. and i know even fewer do the majority of it, since i look at the staff link to gauge how long my torrents might have to wait to be posted finally.

but if it is just the case of the staff simply doesnt think uploaders should get a bonus strictly for their new posted torrent i would like to hear that

i should have asked someone better-liked to post this opinion, since my point is being nit-picked instead of heard with an open mind.
no one will just come out and say "we don't think uploaders should get special benefits."
i saw in another old post similar to this one where a mod said in sincerity that at least they are not being "charged" with the file size as a download.
and now another is saying not to add photos until it's approved- which usually takes several hours and by the time it finally gets approved i am far, far away.
pm-ing the mods with a green light does NOT work- probably has the opposite effect of "now i am gonna let it sit"
i will never be given auto-upload status now for bringing up issues i take exception to so much recently…lol
it was having a warning about being banned from downloading that did it.
i gave up creating torrents because of this, and am only doing it now to try to get ahead so i dont have to again.
if there were more incentive there might be more torrents on here instead of about a page or 2 a day, sometimes not that much.
and i am NOT against the fast speed seeders at all! i am only pointing out they sort of hog the brief period a torrent is active
.5 seed bonus an hour for seeding even when you are not connected to folks is sooooo boring.

i wondered why people who upload do not get a seed bonus at all.

reason it's an issue:

the people who complete and then have faster seed get more benefit than the person who uploads in the first place!

so do people who add photos!

so do people who have the file, seed it, but don't take the time to upload, find text and photos, and have to stop seeding anything else to wait for the mods to approve or delete…

i have raised my ratio from under .69 to .74 and i have been uploading stuff and it makes only a little difference- 4 uploaded torrents has brought me up from .69 to .74....hardly seems worth it to upload when there are people with super speed who get all the seed...

seems like uploading a brand new torrent could get more credit than it's getting...

now bring on the moderators to tell me they disagree....and that the seed bonus was created to help us slower speeders in the first place...

@ballard1:

Hmm… I was following this thread and started to wonder...

So what's with all the music uploads which clearly have nothing to do with GAY at all?

Just because a few gay guys like operas ... that doesn't make an opera gay or have a gay story line.
What's gay about the Rio soundtrack or Black Sabbath?
I see a reason for Lady Gaga but Vivaldi? What's gay about that?
Please enlighten me...

Black Sabbath is so gay…

i had the same thing happen, i was told to break a compilation of 14 clips into two.

then i saw the same compilation of 14 clips on the site a few days later!

that user's post was eventually deleted (probably because i complained- which was not my intention), so i tried doing what the moderator asked originally.
the first was approved.

then the "volume 2" was deleted because 2 of the 7 clips were on other posted torrents that were 3 years old and had only 2 seeders each.

if anyone has ever tried downloading old torrents that have only 1, 2 or 3 seeders know, it takes a very long time- if you can even connect…

i guess i am saying i understand the rules, but think after a certain period of time and a certain number of seeders, that file duplicates in compilations be allowed.

no one will probably even read this except the moderator, so i am wasting my energy being upset.

what is up with users who have like dozens and dozens of "seeding" torrents?  basically, it makes potential downloaders think they can get the torrent when in actuality it takes a week/s to download a movie when these are the only people seeding them still, and stops the downloader from being able to do much else, less the minute bits of seed be overwhelmed by other normal speed activity.  if the torrent is basically dead then it is better that it doesnt appear to be seeding like normal.  if people would only seed the torrents they actually have some upload speed on, it would make for more accurate downloading and not waste leecher's time.
