    Well, if I could be certain that it was a permanent (or at least long term) change to FTN, then I'd be much more comfortable. But, what if it goes bad and they change back the ratios and we find that we've got a ratio of .01

    Congratulations, you've just created another scare that will AGAIN prevent users from leeching.

    Ok .01 is a bit exaggerated but it really doesn't matter. If you follow the 1:1/36 hour rule, even if you end up with let's say a .3, .4, .5 ratio it will still be ok. You're not going to get banned. As for myself, I like this change.

    I must say that I dont think it will be working... but you must admire the FTN staff of being innovative!

    More like level 4... I see I'm in minority here. No ratio = bad. I sure hope the trackers I frequently use don't do something like this because I would stop using them.

    How is this innovative? The first torrent trackers didn't have ratios. The Pirate Bay is also free leech.

    If they're innovative, then so is The Pirate Bay and all the first trackers. No ratio used. Ratio was added because people never seeded back what they took. Adding ratio is innovative, removing ratio is not.
