This is a hard subject. Naturally I am against cheating the ratio system. But if and how much damage it actually does is a harder question. I think we can all agree on one thing... It's morally wrong and it shows disrespect to the site the person cheats on.
Does it harm the site in other ways?
Well... If everyone would cheat our private trackers wouldn't be as good as they are.
If a person cheats let's say 5 TB on his ratio but seeds as long as the other people without using an application such as NetLimiter I would actually say... No. In that case it does no real damage. It could even encourage people into leeching torrents (Many new sites have problems with that). If they would also keep seeding for a long time - they would still handle it good. Looking at it that way, though, it's unfair for the people that actually has to work hard to get Promoted or get to the Top 10 list.
It may hurt the site. It may also profit the site.
Is it ever morally correct? No. Absolutely not.
My final saying would be, I am against ratio cheating. Don't do it. If you want a good ratio and have a lame home connection, buy a seedbox. They are not really expensive.

I don't understand why people would cheat in any way, that goes with trading, ratiocheating, dupe accounts, NetLimiter etc... What happened to "Sharing is Caring"?
I really don't understand these guys
I have seeded some torrents from trackers like Waffles and Bitme for over 14 weeks. As long as you don't delete the files after you are finished with it I don't see what harm it could do to just keep the torrent active for that long.
Most guys have enough HDD space to keep torrents alive for a long time.
I would suggest everyone to start using "Label" in uTorrent, it's a great way to sort your torrents. Create a label called "long seed" or something. I did that a long time ago and I've forgotten how many torrents I actually seed because of that.
IMO ratiocheating is a bad thing, you cheat to get more ratio to keep up your downloading.

I agree it's bad. But if no ratio cheating means no leechers then it also means no seeder. That equals a dead tracker. It happens everyday these days -.-
yea, lets all ratio cheat, then we wont have to seed, then when we go to download a file.... wait wtf, where are all the seeders!??!!?
think about it for more then 1 minute and take your greed out of the equation and you'll realize ratio cheating by enough members will kill the amount of seeders, when that happens people stop using the site, stop donating, and the site dies. ratio cheating is terrible for any site and anyone with a different outlook is just ignorant. im usually all for differing opinions but this is like trying to argue that 2 plus 2 doesnt equal 4, you'll end up looking dumb. and in this case you'll also end up banned for your stupidity.

It makes the trackers stats look better so I couldn't see how it would hurt.
