I have a very good feeling this wont last long, so leech as much as you can
I think I disagree.. especially in my case, I wanted to seed more.. to share.. and ofcourse to go to the next level..Quote:

This message is not for you waterloo, no offense, My Opinion:
**well I think, someone who is thinking that no one would be seeding--is someone who is not seeding.. well.. leechers will be afraid that no one would be seeding, because in their case they do not seed:(
whay dont they enlarge their userbase a little more
we poor bitches want in ...:cry::cry:
still more then 700 spots left, you have plenty of time to get in heheQuote:

I hope Brandon gets in quick and bans everyone who abuses this system :angry:
I haven't read this all thread, but from what I understand , its like illusion .
The rules hasn't changed. The ratio isn't really gone, just hidden.
Nothing really happened...
If that were true, I would have disabled the 437 users with ratio's below .5 right now.Quote:

Still , all the hype about the FTN gets rid of ratios is wrong. Because it still there... .
I think this all was for the users of FTN to download more .
If you click on Snatched after 400-500 torrents [ out of ~5000 torrents ] , you dont get more than 100 snatches per torrent . [ And you don't have quick DL button ]
You have more than 5 K users which most of them should be good users , and still most of them do not download from FTN.
Kinda sucks .
So good move from your side to increase the number of seeders/leechers with out hanging out tons of invites [ AKA SCT ] . :)
Hope it'll work.
The whole system is very simple, and proven to work in scenarios other than bittorrent. Instead of punishing bad behavior, reward good behavior.
They will no longer punish users for having a low share ratio, but they give benefits to those who seed.
Reward is many times a better motivator than consequence., and I think it is a refreshing step for the world of private trackers :)
So far it's done wonderful :) I agree the hype isn't something I really appreciate.. But I knew it would be hard for us to avoid a topic such as this being made. It will take time for everyone to fully understand the new system and trust me it's taken me months to fully grab on to the idea myself. We still have lots of neat changes coming so keep an open mind ;)Quote:

Someone should fill those 700 spots, it could be easily done. :pinch::naughty:Quote:

I hope other trackers bring somthing similar instead of just penalizing people
I have some high level trackers but I am too scared to download anything. Most of the time I just seed there
I dont have FTN and I dont know if I ever will since I dont trade but to the existing users, you guys are lucky as now you can truly enjoy the tracker without worrying too much

Chances are once you can be trusted by these members, most likely they will extend there help to some of the higher ranked sites.
But then again this is coming form a guy who was invited by Brandon himself, so I can be full of shit.
Oh and FTN FTW!
:01:
I gave away my old account because I couldn't receive a good ratio because of my connection and now they do this :( what a shame.. (it wan't a trade and staff know's about it..)
brandon ?? hook us up :D:D:D

But all i see is this could very well end up hurting that site a great deal.
many sites already have something like this. I did this about 4 months ago with 1 user class called Honoured Guests then went good so added it to Super vip class also,. the ratio was setup to ratio of 1.1 on all torrents and or 48 hours seeding, Also stats never counted. But for a hole site to do this well all i can say is good luck with it.
Wild
intersting, what ratio have worst one (ratiowise) of that 437 users ?Quote:

do you consider someone as abuser who seed 48, 72 or maybe 720h, but cant acheive even decent ratio ?
for example due to to bad connection or no leechers or some other reason...
its easy to get in that situation if you mainly download older stuff with no leechers and, voila, in no time you have a nice 0.01 ratio.
would you warn or ban that user ?
ps the whole idea sounds really great, but it looks like users arent proper informed of all aspects of the new system
Brandon, give me a Torrentleech invite please. :naughty:Quote:

Submission, could you make it simple for me, how does not having ratio (actually there's ratio, it's just disabled for you to see) make one tracker a better place? The rules are all the same, the only thing is, that you won't be able to see your ratio.
I have full respect to ftn nevertheless and I still aim to become a member in the future if possible.
Even the americans wont try to force those rights on a private venue.Quote:

Even if it was a freedom of speech issue, it's not a "freedom of shout" issue :P
Whether or not mods want to warn you simply for using big letters is another matter though.
Yeah there are tons of members lately, writing with huge or bold or capital or blue or purple letters usually with different letterhead, in order to get easier noticed. Its up to mods to allow this but I am certainly against it
yes, It's quite obnoxious. I use bolds occasionally, but only for emphasis on one or two words.Quote:

imo leechbits does not compare to ftn. A ratio free ftn means a hell of alot more than leechbits.Quote:

soo anybody with invites :P
sounds good. I hope to join one day :D
greaat move people shoud start leeching :)
I wish I had invite \:
btw nice feature.
I hope this works well, but I'll reserve judgement till the full plan has been introduced.
Great, now one of these days, are you guys going to decide whether you consider yourselves a tracker or not?Quote:

Great news :D Just as long as Brandon brings in some "reward" system for users who are continuosly seeding on torrents (when they dont 'have' to). But Im sure he already has something worked out, so i doubt anyone needs to worry about this change :P
