most user classes are outdated and lame

I think these ones are unique.

Where is that?

They're pretty much the same as What.CD.

I saw this on TTi.

User Standard rules apply for this class. Please remember to keep your ratio higher than 0.5 to avoid a warning.

Power User Upload 50GB, ratio 1.05, member for 30 days, demoted if you drop below 0.95 in ratio.

Pro User Upload 250GB, ratio 1.75, member for 50 days, demoted if you drop below 1.50 in ratio.

Elite User Upload 500GB, ratio 1.50, member for 80 days, demoted if you drop below 1.25 in ratio.

Legend Upload 1TB, ratio 1.05, member for 120 days, demoted if you drop below 0.95 in ratio.

Hero Upload 10TB, ratio 1.05, member for 180 days, demoted if you drop below 0.95 in ratio.

Superhero Upload 20TB, ratio 1.05, member for 240 days, demoted if you drop below 0.95 in ratio.

20TB is pretty impressive.

What's more impressive is the ratio requirements, it's as it should be

What would be better if they were all set at 1.05 though, with an upper limit of 2.99

In other words, demoted if you go drop below 0.95 in ratio or go above 3.00 in ratio

Better still would be to redistribute the ratio whores excess upload. Once you reach 3.00 then your upload does not count and is given to users who need it more. It would force some activity from seedboxers on torrents that are not FL for example.

that is actually a great idea

That is an awesome idea.

but you can get a 3 ratio in a lot of ways.

initial upload, seedbox the easiest way.

download get your 1 - 1.5 plenty of seeders jump off, keep files, wait till its down to 1-2 seeders, a few more leechers (could be months) then jump back on to give it a helping hand.

imo you will get members that do the 2nd one, not doing the 2nd one, and remember to keep a ratio of 2, every torrent you have to seed to 2, or 1 to 1 and 2 to 3 or 3 to 1 and 2 to 4 (its 6 am here so the maths of that may be well off but im sure you get my gist).

I just dont think that would work in a practical sense.

No argument against that, as long as it's run along similar lines to something like the SPU Gold Member thingy at BCG and you must never have a HnR against your name, then why not redistribute the wealth, that is fundamentally the sharing philosophy right? It allows the the slow pipes to grab more and keep more torrents alive and for longer and brings more activity all round.

Edit - uploaders and all staff are (should be?) exempt these rules for obvious reasons following Stoi's post

another thing ive just thought of, why should someone that isnt pulling their weight (capping their upload to 1KBs say , because it does happen) benefit from this.

maybe im just pesimistic in my old age, but lots of flaws that i can see, and very exploitable.

That's when we get creative with the idea, everybody can be negative with the ideas put forward, but it's ironing out the flaws thus allowing and brining in the better torrenters that benefits from new ideas, the majority will be appreciative as usual, a small minority will always look for loopholes, that's life.

There always will be those wanting to "beat the system" for whatever reason, mainly to benefit themselves though, but an all inclusiveness and increased activity benefits all in the end.

What's obvious is a fragmentation of the current system is also being exploited by a minority, thus it will always be the case someone loses somewhere. But doing nothing is an even worse scenario.
