well even if we were a 0 day tracker, we would still have the SP on.Quote:

The cute avatar rule on Waffles is pretty lame.
I hate the inactivity rule. Should be something like PU or above are never deleted, autoparked at the most.
Hate the seeding time rule as well. It means I can't queue inactive torrents.
Yeah. Mine got removed and I was pissed.Quote:

Likes: packs, hit and run rules, good forum, ppl who are actually helpful (rather than snobbish) and good IRC (w/o too much childish slut talk which can be done in chatrooms)
i kinda hate ratio, but i understand the need of it
sct is perfect for me, great staff great rules, and they not gonna throw all their ego on you if you fail once or twice, you feel like you should seed every bit of your bandwidth to them
Agree. :dabs:Quote:

- Trackers are p2l and make profit from donations.
I also HATE users that partial seed or download from other sites and seed them somewhere else. It's annoying looking at a new torrent that have like 20 seeders and only 2 snatches. Oh and users that spam post in the tracker's forums in order to build their post count.
Ban seedboxes by non-uploaders then. Oh wait, you're happy to take advantage of his fast upload speeds for a month, just upset when he tries to actually use the upload he contributed. Gotcha.Quote:

42 day account expiration
Continuous client bans
Like:
Requests
User Uploads
Ratio gambling
P2L (whatever keeps the server bills paid)
My opinion of the best run sites: hdbits, and lately, ftn
wtf.
why should he pay £15 for a OVH seedbox for a month, upload 700 gig on 4 6 gig torrents, then after that proceed to rape the site dry of 700 gigs worth of content.
we may as well say if you donate £15 we will give you 700 gig upload, and you can hit and run all you want.
bloody farcicle.
This is why I love this forum. Because I don't have to just leave, I can come here and smear them. And as much as the protest that they don't care, they show up here in droves to defend themselves.Quote:

I have to agree with fearful on that one, i remember joining bitconsole back in the day just to way up my competition so to speak lol and had to wait 48 hours to download, i was like, sod that and just went elsewhere.
and like fearful says if you have to wait XX hours to actually get on the torrent, most of the leechers are already seeds these days with seedboxes and faster home connections, and usually members with a bad ratio have the wait times, but its those that need to jump on them first.
hmmm, maybe we should have wait times for fast uploaders, they already have the buffer, and i always hear people on here saying, members that download from elsewhere and help seed they hate, so this will put a stop to that.
i am joking btw (i think lol)
How about answering the question? If you think seedboxes are a net drain on your site, why don't you ban them? Else, you can limit the total upload on any one torrent to 2x the download.Quote:

Of course they can read your PM's, what do you think they are doing once they get bored from their site? :)Quote:

Seedbox members are well rewardarded with SPU, and slow uploaders are well rewarded, because they have no fear of getting banned.
so the op hates ratios, but loves freeleech.....i guess he hates prvt trackers, or atleast how they're supposed to work...
hate: can not hit and run.
like: in most cases that rule can be violated. ;)
The only site that uses wait time the right way is TT. when you join you can't download anything for the first 48 hours. After that download anything you want. This is to make sure the users know what to do i.e. not go on some downloading spree and dig a big hole for themselves.Quote:

and i thought TL had wait times as well, maybe thats just for low ratio users.
what gets me is, people complain about seedboxes, but they are the 1st ones to say, fuck me this is slow hurry up will you, and we get that a lot on BCG in the comments.
or i will wait for more seeders, wtf if its going slow you have a better chance of getting your ratio up, if you wait for more seeders all the leecher are going to have it so you will have to rely on SP.
TL has what I like to call the 'trap' wait times. All newly registered users are stuck with a 48 hour wait time for all newly uploaded torrents. Users may:Quote:

TL of course has a solution for both of those: Pay2Leech VIP! That's the only reason I think they have wait-times, anyway. Correct me if I'm wrong. ;)
Not only TL. Lots of sites unfortunately have similar methods for new users. I remember e.g. Filelist does that + both sister sites. More as well, just can't remember at the moment.Quote:

And it isn't just newly registered. it's upload amount + ratio that decides how long the wait time is or if it disappears.
I'll be a bit strange here, but I
LIKE:
- keep good ratio
- invites for VIP+
- promotion system
- exclusive rights
surprisingly all good trackers I am at have that and the bad ones don't.
Sure FreeLeech is always nice.
But generally - the stricter the rules, the better the tracker and I can
deal with that. In fact I want to, all other trackers aren't worth my time.
I'm lolling how all these people are crying about staffers reading their pm's. Of course they're going to read them. They need to make sure that people aren't spamming other users, trying to pinch uploaders, promoting their own site, trading invites/accounts, blablabla.
No one gives a shit about your little pm's with other users about random stuff. No attention would be paid to those. Staffers look out for all the rule-breaking things going on within the pm's. It's a smart idea, and a nice feature to have.
Don't start crying that you got your account disabled because you were breaking the sites rules through the pm system. It's your own fault.
the old don't mention or sites name or refer to us as ******. like it helps not identify who they are. if we mention the site we can't mention haven't we already mentioned it!!! for example what's wheel mods, the rabbit, and the clover??? (not that all these sites have these rules) it's an example of trying to use another name to hide the true name of the site. like it helps. i guess the cops and etc. are like the cops on dukes of hazard. not to mention putting these sites on the highest level possible doesn't help with the big secret either. funny shit!!! how did the human race manage to survive???
Getting disabled for inactivity when you are having internet issues!
Seriously? Are people just getting retarded enough not to seed for a few days at most on a home connection to get rid of the wait time?Quote:
