Which rules in your tracker do you like/hate most ?

[stoi]

I can appreciate that on BCG, your a specialized content tracker whose torrents wouldn't survive otherwise. SCT is a 0-day pay to leech site which did act more like a service, which is why I treated it as such. Much like TL.

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

but im not a member of there so i dont know what they do, or how they work, but i still think, that if you download it, you should seed it back, or at the very least, seed it for some time and not just hit and run.

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.

[buggyfresh]

Not mentioning other trackers in IRC/forum, especially TL.

This happens on Freethescene, S*C, revott (??) etc too - hate that stoopid rule! wtf are you that insecure that ppl can't talk about other trackers??
And the waffles rule is a bit stupid, but at least you don't get wanred for it unless you change t back several times lol..othrwise that tracker is fine.

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.

A few things...
- Ratio: every site should have a no ratio system with a seeding time rule or some kind of seeding incentive.
- Account parking: I vacation about 2 times a year and its a drag keeping my accounts active when I'm away.
- 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.

My home connection is terrible and a seedbox for just one month easily buffers all my accounts leaving me to download for ages without worrying about ratio. Much cheaper than usenet or any other alternatives.

thats one of the reasons we have SP, to stop greedy bastards like you doing that

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.

Strong sites, even those with unique content (best example: hdbits) don't need to rely on seeding rules.

Hate:
Minimum seeding time rules
Free Leech / 2x upload (torrents are slower and die faster)
heavily moderated forums
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

[stoi]

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.
