my wife's a shrink so there is nothing to worry
Me depressed?? Why would I be? for GFT??
Too often, we loose sight of life's simple pleasures.Remember, when someone annoys you it takes 42 muscles in your face to frown, BUT, it only takes 4 muscles to extend your arm and bitch-slap that mother!%$@%# upside the head!

Everyone who snatches a torrent is attempting( I hope ) to contribute upload .As for speeds ,tying into what awaited said, personally I think it is more important to have a torrent available for a long time than just to be able to download it a 100Mbps for a few days.Originally Posted by TrueSounds
Wait.. how is it fair to promote leechers (who piggyback off of people who contribute upload) equally to regular 1:1 ratio users?
Also, what is with promoting due to seed time? If your upload is 15kbps-nonconnectable, and you're seeding anything bigger than a music album, it's pretty pointless to be seeding at all imo.
I was really struck by this when BCG changed the requirements for invites ( BCG a site known for long retention) and people where complaining that they couldn't meet the minimum seed duration because they were using seedboxes.Seeing that the minimum requirement is a paltry couple of weeks I think those people ( wham bang thank you ma'am) and not the ones steadily seeding away for months at much slower seeds are in fact the ones doing the "leeching"
Of course if you don't ever need to download something a month after it's been released disregard what I said.

Idol , i believe that in real life you can compare it with cars.
The best way is having 2 cars:
A fast one.
An economic one ( for long roads ).

As applies to what I was trying to get at isn't that more apt comparison?

GFT has some of the most approachable staff I've ever seen. Every time I tried talking to them they were up front honest about what they wanted for me to put forward or do or stop doing.
Go talk to them. I obviously don't know the specifics of why you were banned, but I'm sure with enough reasonable arguments you will be unbanned.
EDIT: As for the idoleyes discussion, being Canadian myself and knowing the short-comings of Canadian connections I know exactly what he means. I have a great torrent retention and down at trackers like GFT I have consistently 4-5 torrents that the tracker asks me to not delete because I'm the only seeder. Now, I'd love for someone to explain to me how it's fair that someone who generally downloads something on his 1gbit line, seeds to 1, doesn't even watch it, deletes it, moves on to the next, on a ratio free tracker should be held as a more valuable member than I.

Country ban, then?Hes not banned
EDIT: As for idoleyes' BCG post, I was laughing at that as well. Some people on the forums kept mentioning they were off the minimum seed time by a day, but had already downloaded 100's of torrents, enough to not be able to go up that easily any longer. I felt sorry for them, but at the same time, using a seedbox does not necessarily mean low retention, I remember at one point having a seedbox on BCG, and every time I hit 1:1 on the seedbox I'd download it to my home connection and start seeding it there (their seed from only 1 place policy is unnerving).

I think the no rank system on BCG is best, with a profile that displays how you contribute in various ways is best. That tracker is probably successful mostly because of the great userbase it has built up over the years though. I doubt whatever ranks they could come up with would change that much.
Why do you think users with slow upload should be promoted? I have slow upload, and am happy to stay the ranks I am as long as other people do the majority of the seedwork. On 0days retention is not really a 'problem' as long as people keep snatching, and when they don't there is no real reason to keep the files anyways. No big point in giving incentives to snatches unless your users are using other trackers instead of yours.
Wait.. how is it fair to promote leechers (who piggyback off of people who contribute upload) equally to regular 1:1 ratio users?
Also, what is with promoting due to seed time? If your upload is 15kbps-nonconnectable, and you're seeding anything bigger than a music album, it's pretty pointless to be seeding at all imo.
any other fair promotion system for users with slow speeds?, how is it fair to promote users who build up uber leet buffers on few torrents and hit &run after that?,
About hit n runners, well they will get warned if that's against the rules. At least they contributed upload beforehand. It's a cycle and they will be leeching from new people who are obsessed with climbing the ranks, people seem to alternate on that role. I know I used to upload alot, but now I don't and I don't think I should get to higher ranks just because I choose to use a particular tracker.

I am banned with a 200 miles surrounding range... .ROHes not banned
I didn't have time to actually make an account, and now it's too late.RevTT let me made a new account yesterday even if I am banned they even let me "give" my old VIP buffered account to my sister which has a lousy homespeed internet connection.
Will GFT ever do such a thing?
