No, 72 hours before you can start getting the points which count towards stopping it being a H&R.

Many PC games are ~7GB now, so to stop one of those being a H&R it would be 72 hours + 70 hours to get the points to stop it being a H&R = 142 hours.

The points you get aren't a 'reward', they are to prevent you falling into bad standing. There is no positive effect of getting them; only prevention of a negative one.

As for ScT - I'm not a member there, and you mention PACKS being 120 hours, well how large are packs normally? I got one from SCC, a couple of series of a show - it weighed in at 22GB. Since you were comparing packs to Blackcats releases in terms of seeding time requirements, by the Blackcats rules you'd have to seed that for 292 hours. 120 hours isn't so much given the size.

Is best tracker of game, I think its best wourld game tracker...... :*:)

The points are a reward because you do not need to get anything and they are positives that pull you out of a negative situation.

Packs on SCT are 75-150GBs unless its just some little season pack or a trilogy or something like most sites have anyway.

Blackcats has a lot of high quality content, but the user ranking is a little strict.

I have a 1.6+ ratio and I'm being marked as kitty litter. I normally download psp content and the dls are generally small and don't generate mant leechers.

Now I can't even download one thing and I have to seed torrents that never get leechers.

Its a little frustrating being stuck at that level for awhile...

It's amazing how many people ignore Seed Points, such a great innovation.

http://www.blackcats-games.net/forum...9&st=0&start=0 - Try reading this.

I know how seed points work, thanks -_-.

I have less than 5 torrents that can be seeded back and at that my computer can't be on all the time.

But my point was that the restrictions are a little harsh don't you think? Kitty litter with a 1.6 ratio? I don't see how that makes sense.

For some reason I just tried to login to Blackcats and it says my account has been disabled. I have a good ratio and only logged in last a week ago...!

Can anyone shed any light on this?

lolwut?
Your probably here because you were banned from Blackcats, and don't know why, don't worry, your not the only one!
Anyone who didn't generate a keyword was disabled, and everyone got a 1 month notice, and there was an announcement sent to everyone, a news post, IRC spamming etc. all pointing to a gigantic forum thread explaining everything! So we did warn everyone about it. And yes, this is official, not some random message.
This was the August 22 announcement:

Show/Hide Aug-22-08 - Important!!
http://www.blackcats-games.net/forum...howtopic=22086
All members must read and take the required action. You must visit the generate my keyword link in your userdetails page before we hide the site away. if you dont have the key word you need to gain access, then you dont gain access (in fact there will be no account to gain access to).
EDIT
If you are looking at your userdetails page and you see *********** next to key word, you have selected your account to be deleted. If you think that this is a mistake, send a msg to the staffbox or direct to me and we can sort it out.

Okay... so WTF happened here?
Well, on August 22, an announcement was sent to everyone, I don't see how anyone can miss it, and eveyrone had to generate a keyword for when the site goes hiding or else they get disabled on September 1, which was delayed to the 15th and again to the 19th/20th, which linked to a forum thread: http://www.blackcats-games.net/forum...howtopic=22086
Since you cannot view it, this is what was written:

How to Find your Userdetails Page:

Click on your name in the top status bar, it is on every page of the tracker, this will take you to your userdetails page.

A link will appear shortly in your userdetails page, its bright red and you cant miss it. Clicking on this will bring you to an up-to-date (ish) user agreement (its mostly the same agreement as before but with added triple boston-arm-lock move (ok just the confidentiality bit at the top). It basically means, you allow us to keep records of you on our files (usernames, ips etc ) for use with account history, bans etc.
Agreeing to this will also generate a new 'key-word', for use with the fake index page the site will display to non members (as opposed to the blackcats logo etc.)

once in place, if you are logged out you will see this page. there is a search box on the page which you need to enter your key-word (you will need to type it in, not cut and paste). You do not need to hit submit or press enter. If the keyword is valid, it will generate the usual username/password feilds for logging in at the very bottom of the screen. EDIT HERE!! The mechanism that brings up the input boxes is written in AJAX. I used firefox with no script throughout writing and testing this(i hate IE) and i had to allow script to run from BC for it to work. FINISH EDIT!!! enter your username and password as normal and you will then enter the site proper.

Generated key words are just snippets of words generated from a dictionary and are completely random. Some of them are readable (therefore easy to remember), others are not. key words cannot be re-generated.

They are also specific to your account so someone else cannot use your word to gain access to their account. So do not give out your keyword to anyone, even though its useless without the username and pass associated with it. Only you can see your own key-word, so staff will not be able to help you remember it. staff cannot reset the key-word either, its just like another password basically.

If you need to recover your password for some reason (or your keyword), type 'recover' in the search box. This will bring up the usual email text box (again at the foot of the page). enter the email address of the account you wish to recover and submit as normal.

The referal system is in place and will also make use of the fake index pages searchbox. Full details of this will be posted in good time.

This link will be visible for about a week so make sure you generate your key word and make a note of it. after the link has gone;

If you took no action or didnt visit the page, your account will be deleted.

If you selected 'I DISAGREE', your account will be deleted.

If you select ' I AGREE', its all gravy.

Any questions and I hope i can answer them.
Okay, so how do I get my account back?
Well, just do as the #waitingroom topic says!
Here is what it says:

Did you generate your passkey??? If you have been disabled for not generating your keyword, you cannot be reenabled at this time. NEVER. Any questions in #help regarding this will result in a kick from the channel. Write a mail to [email protected] concerning your account....and we will look into

Thanks you for understainding! And yes, this is official.

Great. I don't remember seeing that announcement, so I guess i'm screwed...

How do I get back in? Do I have to try and get an invite and start all over again....? :pinch:

Yup, ur gonna have to start all over, BCG doesnt give a shit about its members
