It variates from tracker to tracker (like everything else in the world variates). The bad seeded part is true on some well known 0day trackers, but that's not the case on a tracker I know. No seedingrules exist but yet members keeps seeding their files for months, and some members even for years.

Funnily enough, in 2007 sometime, i made a staff thread saying we should try ratio free, lets just say most of the staff thought I was mad, torrents would die overnight, everyone would hit and run, members only seeded for PU/SPU (well saying as though we got rid of those and have not seen a drawback in the above, that was rubbish) etc etc.
But as you know, we never actually went for it, even though I wanted to (and i still think it will work, but we have other plans now)
IMHO, I don't think it would be a great idea on your tracker Stoi. You guys got tons of super-rare stuff there (a good bit of which id down to 1-3 seeders) and I feel like a large number of seeds would be gone if you would switch to ratioless.
In other words, why fix what isn't broken? Your SP system is awesome.
I believe a well fleshed out bonus system to encourage seeding could make it possible for older torrents to survive on ratioless trackers.
Well, we would have kept the SP system and the hit and run script, we just would have not shown up and down ratios (which would be the easiest to code atm lolcompared to these achievement tables.)
You need to keep ratios lol, users will stay on torrents longer to increase epeen!
