The two lowest classes need to make an offer of their upload and get a certain amount of votes I believe. The 3 higher classes can just upload. I would bet that uploader rights can be given to the lower classes at staff's discretion but that is really just a guess.Quote:

Anyone can upload, to be honest. 1080i can upload while ignoring the 15 offer approvals rule, and that's basically anyone that has 30GBs down (which is pretty much ONE source) and have a 1 ratio, I think. Don't know the requirements off-hand.
Although, to be honest, a lot of time the uploaders/cappers/encoders end up getting a VIP rank and don't care much for ratio/stats. You'll find a lot of the uploaders actually have a <1 ratio.
They don't really need new blood. There is a lot of activity on most torrents. Different rules apply for uploaders. Of course they won't turn away someone who can cap.Quote:

meh, I dont know the first thing about encoding either. I'm sure a lot of the members are the same way. The forum and irc seems to have a lot of that type of conversation, but no one forces you to post.Quote:

Edit: /me buys idol a cell phone
Cool where do I attach it to the phone jack?
If you want in, the next time they allow people to pass around invites, consider yourself invited.Quote:

You don't necessarily have to upload anything, the cappers list is a measly 25 people on the staff page, and the encoders will be at most 100, that's even an over-estimation, considering a few groups have already abandoned ship. Those are out of 20,000 members, so you can see that the vast majority of the userbase have nothing to contribute.
