Tracker Inactivity and Ratio Rules

[Dr.FST]

I'm sure everyone agrees that it gets confusing and tedious to keep track of every tracker's difference regarding these two things, and we all want to be a good law abiding member, so I've composed this list. It's by no means complete, so if you have any corrections or new information you would like to add, you're more than welcome to post it and I will add it in/correct it.

What most people do as soon as they join a new tracker is read the rules/FAQ for any differences or unique rules. I hope this helps someone somewhere.

The Inactive line usually shows how many days until being disabled by inactivity, and what constitutes as activity. So if it says Inactive: 42 days, web, then it means that if you don't go to the web site (Logged in of course) for 42 days, your account will be disabled/deleted.

Ratio New member = DL 7 gig with a Global Ratio less than 0.4, gets leechwarned, but they have 4 weeks to get up to a 0.75, and with SP it should take them no longer than 10 days to do so even with no leechers on their torrents.

New Member, hits and runs on 4 torrents in a row, even with a ratio of above 0.4 gets demoted into Kitty Litter, where they cannot download any new torrents. Again use SP wisely and you should be out of Kitty Litter in a week or even less, even with no leechers.

If you survive those 2, you should never ever get another leechwarning, because you already have the 1.0 Global ratio anyway from SP but if you do happen to drop down to below 0.4 Global ratio, leechwarned again and have 4 weeks to get out of it.

And hit and runs are worked on points, the higher the class, the less points you can get without getting demoted, we will never tell you how we work the points out so do not ask. Gain so many points and you go straight into Kitty Litter, and have to see to get out of it.

Rare ban for low ratio.

[stoi]

Just to add a bit to BCG, because lets face it

Ratio (Individual torrent ratio more important. 0.8 for indiv. ratio):
4+ GB = 0.75

does not really explain that much.

New member = DL 7 gig with a Global Ratio less than 0.4, gets leechwarned, but they have 4 weeks to get up to a 0.75, and with SP it should take them no longer than 10 days to do so even with no leechers on their torrents.

New Member, hits and runs on 4 torrents in a row, even with a ratio of above 0.4 gets demoted into Kitty Litter, where they cannot download any new torrents. Again use SP wisely and you should be out of Kitty Litter in a week or even less, even with no leechers.

If you survive those 2, you should never ever get another leechwarning, because you already have the 1.0 Global ratio anyway from SP but if you do happen to drop down to below 0.4 Global ratio, leechwarned again and have 4 weeks to get out of it.

And hit and runs are worked on points, the higher the class, the less points you can get without getting demoted, we will never tell you how we work the points out so do not ask. Gain so many points and you go straight into Kitty Litter, and have to see to get out of it.

We very very rarely ban for low ratio, as it is that easy to get out of it, no one should get banned, and if they do, they are not even trying.

^^ bit long winded, but explained better (i hope) than in the post :)

[Dr.FST]

Yeah, your explanation has been transferred to the post. Thank you, for your input :)

[bammers]

Good list man, well researched!! thumbs up! :)

[integral]

Not sure about the point of this, if anything inactivity times/ratio or whatever that implies could be amended to WTO thread or something like that, but even then the data could be too obscure; people should read the FAQ/Rules automatically. That's part of being a good user. This'll just end up as another huge list of every tracker, and there's already a couple of those. :P

[Ramus]

cool thanks for the info :D

[aaatoel]

Great list indeed! Hope for sticky! :)

Very nice list.

for bitmetv, if you're a vip, you're immune to the inactivity rule, yet power users and users are not. Has been discussed in the forums.

[Swift]

[propaganja7]

great list!!
very usefull!

[F.B.I]

Didn't worth the time you lost.

Is this for users who just want to keep their accs alive? :whistling

If yes, as I said, didn't worth the time you lost.


I'm sure everyone agrees that it gets confusing and tedious to keep track of every tracker's difference regarding these two things

That happens when you have a bunch of accs, useless accs.

[johall]

although this is a nice list that must have taken time to write out id have to agree with FBI........unless you have accounts to "have" them i dont think you would really need this

[jasperr]

Just a correction on this


The Inactive line usually shows how many days until being disabled by inactivity, and what constitutes as activity. So if it says Inactive: 42 days, web, then it means that if you don't go to the web site (Logged in of course) for 42 days, your account will be disabled/deleted.

that is not entirely accurate on all trackers..... some trackers define Inactive as not being part of the community! this includes irc action, torrent comments and or forum posts...

logging in...... is just logging in.. nothing else.. Oo

So... all users know whats up... if you find your accounts ban/ disabled for TRUE INACTIVITY....

Only traders act like that, don't know why are you worried about them.

[colbert]

Nice list. My opinion is if you don't normally use a site at least once a month then you really don't need it.

[Tokeman]

Nice list. My opinion is if you don't normally use a site at least once a month then you really don't need it.

How true that is. Too many people have sites they never visit, but they are obsessed with keeping them alive. It must be a trader mentality.

I had a ton of trackers when I first started torrenting, but when I realised that they were all pretty much the same, I stuck to 1-2 general trackers, and a few content specific trackers. No need for much else.

[alcoholik]

great list :)

[Eargasm]

I can vouch that KG does not ban inactive users. I was absent for over a year and found my account still intact.

edit: I should add that U-G is either 4 or 6 weeks (ask in their IRC chan). I know because I was disabled there. Although, they did re-enable me considering I had an extremely awesome ratio and seed indefinitely.

[forthat]

stoi has said that people on BCG get disabled for not being active on a torrent for a certain amount of time. sometimes clicking on your bookmarks isn't enough. :cool:

[stoi]

well surely thats the same as most trackers though, apart from other trackers expect you to seed to actual leechers, we do not, if you have a low ratio, bye bye account.

IRC activity = we would have 80 members left
Comments = we would just get a lot of crap posted
Forum = same as comments, but we would have about 4000 members left.

if those actually mattered.

lol, well if you break them down in a either-or manner then perhaps.... :P
i meant in a combination of any of those + seeding/leeching(which i didn't mention previously..) is being considered active..

what the OP is saying that all you need to do is log into a tracker within the allotted time before pruning/ban/disable, is being active.... that's what i was correcting on.. only thing that does is keep the account alive from auto pruning, nothing more.. if that's what you want, then the info given is totally fine.... but some sites do manually prune on occasion.. then beware.... lol

Inactive: 30 days, download/upload. Accounts with less than 175MB in total Upload / Download activity per month may be disabled.

from the bitmetv faq:

What is the policy on inactive accounts?

New accounts with zero upload or download amounts that are inactive for more than 30 days are automatically disabled.
Accounts with greater than zero upload and download that are inactive for more than 60 days are automatically disabled.

[succubus]

awsome , thanks a lot, needed this

[kkenjoel]

OMG...... U took so much pain man.......... Good work........

[danio]

what a pointless thread. if you are a member of a tracker, just read their damn rules. what's so hard about it?

[(I)]

Fo BCG, you must have torrent activity 1 per month for users, 1 per 6 months for PUs and SPUs, must download a complete torrent in ur 1st week

For bitme, what you mean when you say
Inactive: 30 days, download/upload
You don't need to upload or download a thing there to keep ur accont

[crimsoncrow]

Thanks for the time you put into making this list, Dr.FST. :)

You may also want to add at what.cd, power users and above are immune from deletion for inactivity.

[Goat Wrangler]

what a pointless thread. if you are a member of a tracker, just read their damn rules. what's so hard about it?

It's senseless to make replies such as this because in your haste to make everyone aware of how pointless you believe the thread to be, you've forgotten that a reply bumps it right back to the top. Sort of like shooting yourself in the foot, isn't it?

nup, it was already at the top :P

[Dretskol]

Heard you have to Down/Upload at least 1gb /week @ HDBits..

[AMnesko]

When you become a member of a tracker, you check the boxes that say : "I have read the rules" and "I have read the FAQ", so I tend to believe that you should already know the requirements before you join the site. I think all you wanted to accomplish by this thread was to show off with your so called knowledge about that list of trackers, and make people believe that you are a member so that you gain trust. Lame!

[Popov]

thanks

[Night0wl]

This is the most truly annoying thing about trackers (the best ones at least have longer inactivity rules).

Take a site like PISexy. I only use it for when I) can't find something elsewhere. Does that really mean, that I don't deserve to be member after 42 days?

I seed and not like the newbs or people that don't appreciate content here. I usually never delete a download below 1.0 ratio if seeded under two months or more

If someone shows up a month later, I can transfer the entire torrent alone if need be.

I just wonder how many fuckups are members who log in in time but seed for the minimum allowed timeframe.

[iM32]

very helpful for those who are lazy :D

[cinephilia]

Heard you have to Down/Upload at least 1gb /week @ HDBits..
You have to dowload 1gb /week, upload amount doesn't matter. Same for SDBits but they don't have an automatic script to disable members: i didn't dl there since 2 or 3 weeks and i'm still member there :rolleyes:

[jars]

Does anyone know the inactivity of PT?

[kahoona]

Always good info to have!

[anon]

Does anyone know the inactivity of PT?

If you mean PussyTorrents, I think they don't prune users. A friend didn't use his PU account for about 4 months and it was still alive when he tried to log in. I'd confirm this with their staff first, though.

[Rart]

I'm assuming he meant PolishTracker, cause the site is Polish.

[Tokeman]

Another old thread, wow.
Just to update, seems HDBits no longer has the minimum download to keep your account active. I haven't dl'd anything in quite some time, with no change in my status.
Just FYI since it was on this page...

[invitestor]

thanx for the info
