Here is another example (don't know if it is the same poster):
"i need seedpoints to upload some other interesting videos"
At some point the suggestion was made to turn them onto Freeleaching their torrents to make the seedpoints they crave, but I have no idea how that would help, particularly if they don't have enough seed points now.
Again, while the begging is mildly annoying, it is the implication the site won't let them upload without SB points - the deception that I dislike.
Regarding the discussion:
While I find the begging annoying as well, if you read my very original post, you will see my concern was about what seemed to be misinformation. When I tried to tell the uploader what he was saying in the upload comments could be misinterpreted, he replied to me not to have so much drama, which I interpreted as a flippant in your face response to close down the conversation. I reported it to the mods to ask what their thoughts were on it, and they took care of it, with part of the solution being to suggest Freeleach to the person. Finally, while I 100% agree that the other issues (bad uploads, miscategorization, etc) exist so the issue I raised isn't a valid issue is not a valid argument and really belongs in another thread.
I like the idea of updating the site rules to eliminate begging complaints - though I think it would be a nightmare to police - but I really dislike the implication that someone can't UPLOAD without points. That is the core of the misinformation I've reported.
PS: Regarding the other issues mentioned (miscategorizing, etc), I use the "report" feature, and figure if people keep up on it, the cheaters won't get their torrents to stay for long. That process works fine in my opinion.
With that out of the way, here is another similar offender should the mods wish to have a look and decide how to handle this. My thanks also to them for their prior assistance:

"Send me seedpoints so I can keep sending videos of these and other pornstars"
How about a seedbonus limit per torrent on pictures? You can upload 20 pix if you want, but you only get credit for 5. [choose the numbers you like]
If someone tries spamming multiple torrents to get seedbonus, you can send them a warning/timed ban as appropriate.
As for some of the "spammed" examples, I like having more pictures than not, it is nice seeing what angles there are, etc. If they were utterly identical, I'd completely agree but some of the examples are a bit more marginal. Still, if you put a limit on what you "pay" per account, it should drastically reduce the gaming of the system.
;D
Nembari (scroll up a few) is correct, and this is why I was hoping to get this stopped quickly, because others might decide to copy him.
I like the idea of recommending Freeleech to them. If there is any way to ask them why they can't upload, it might go a distance to fixing this. I tried asking one [the one I posted the first examples of] but they just accused me of drama.
:cool2:
Here are some more (all examples are this week, though I expect it is not a full list since I don't look at ALL categories ;D )

Since it only says "uploader" to me I don't know if it is one person doing it, or several.
As a side note, I'm curious why the uploader online name is hidden by the site (just shows as "uploader") but that is another topic.
Thanks for offering to help and for agreeing that it does seem a bit tasteless to continually imply the site is preventing them from uploading.
Here is one of the requested links. I've probably seen 100+ of these and this is the only one I tried replying to.
"I need seedbonus points to fix my ratio and continue posting videos"
From what I can tell, the above text does not actually violate rules, but I find it irritating and wanted to ask about it.
It seems to imply that if this uploader does not get the seedbonus they require, GT will prevent them from uploading.
However, I've read the rules in detail and there is nothing I can see (or any logical reason why) that GT would prevent uploading for reasons of low seedbonus or ratio. Downloading yes, not uploading.
It seems rather dishonest, and normally I'd ignore it - and I have, for months. I see it time and time again though.
As for begging for seedbonus, the rules state not to do it in the DESCRIPTION, but nothing about in the comments of the video which is where I keep seeing this.
So, there you have it. Thoughts?
![😕](https://community.gaytorrent.ru/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/apple/1f615.png?v=hvqg2qn0nb4 ":-\")
I don't know what has changed in the last month or so.
I used to just leave a window open for GT and it would always work, now it always wants a login. Worse still it is INSANELY SLOW. First, I get presented with a login/password. That times out after about a minute or two (or a lot of frustrated clicking/refreshing) and then I have to put in that, PLUS a multi-digit number captcha. Sometimes that also fails. It took several times to log in, and the last time, it took about a solid minute of waiting after going though the captcha.
What is going on?
I'm a power user, been with GT for years. This is really annoying. I'm using Chrome on PC.
One more suggestion, pictures presenting the upload need to be of a minimum size (I hate thumbnails - you can't see what you are downloading). I'd suggest 600x800 as a minimum size, and about 1600x2000 as a maximum (really big pix just go off screen when you hit the full screen button).
I read the FAQ which says you can upload anything gay related, and I can certainly understand not wanting to get involved in hosting major movies, but I recently downloaded two things that were not "gay" (nor movies) but were really fun. I have all 3 of James May's Big Ideas (really interesting tech stuff, think "Nova"), and a classic game that was released over 10 years ago "Majesty" (like a warcraft 2, but no micromanaging).
I realize it doesn't seem to fit in with the current theme of this site, or with the current categories so I won't upload it unless asked, but I just love this website. It is so reliable, I wish I could get more non gay (and not blockbuster stuff) from it. I have no interest in downloading major movies, but some of these little games and shows are so obscure they can be hard to find.
Part of the reason I'm asking is because you would think things this obscure would be unpopular, but in fact, I had to put speed limits on these things since they stole all the upload bandwidth to the torrents hosted by this site! Here is how popular they have been:
James Mays 3/3 12 days old 0.7GB, 6.0GB uploaded
James Mays 2/3 11 days old 0.7 GB, 5.2GB uploaded
James Mays 1/3 11 days old 0.7GB, 4.8GB uploaded
Majesty game 60 days old 0.7 GB, 21.5GB uploaded
If you don't want to host them, and others like them, on your site I'll certainly understand, but perhaps you have another non-porn site you run I could send them to? If not, I just wanted to point out there was demand for this, and I'd love to help you with it if you want it. Thanks for listening!
To anyone reading, any thoughts on this?
Sorry for posting it in the wrong place, and I was not suggesting someone should be trying to be on the minimum. Its just nice to know how ahead you are. And I didn't check the name, but power users don't have different ratios before getting DLs suspended, its the ratio before you lose your status. Anyway, as I said, just an idea. I can do the math myself, but it would be a nice feature.
I have an idea - when looking at your profile, if you have Power User level, it could calculate how many GB you could download before you lose power user ratio (which I understand is 1.05). It already does the math for what you get before exceeding your minimum, I'd love to see a calculation for power user as well. Thanks!
