Administrators recycling torrents with zero chance of completion
-
That depends on the user. I never believed in "seeding forever." Nine x out of ten, I keep what I upload. If you want it, just ask for a seed. My problem is, there are a lot of "uploaders," (if you want to call them that) who upload millions of photos that are not humanly possible to go through. Sometimes they upload thousands of tumblr videos! Someone who's serious about downloading good content, is not going to sift through random shit. And I guess since it's so hard to find good uploader, the admins allow it. But, personally, that pisses me of.

Some of us like the posts that you don't. I am sure I would dislike some of the content you like. We all have different tastes. The great thing about this site is there are postings for all. None of us can say what is good content for others. Find it odd you want admins to ban stuff you don't like. Personally, that pisses me of.

It has nothing to do with taste! It has everything to do with common sense, and being practical. If this site was brand new, I would have suggested adding a new "Packs" category; or perhaps a webrip/tumblr category; so that it doesn't mix in with other stuff.

I don’t see any common sense here. Just annoyance that posts are made of content you find annoying or uninteresting.

Back on topic;
I think we need a rule change, of some sort, to deal with this.
Anyone who reads the forums should know that I love packs. That being said, there is a problem with many packs lately. Many don't seem to complete, even the new uploads. This is especially true of the ones over, say, 10gb.
-
I love the idea of packs myself, since it allows users to grab the 'entire collection' all at once. One of my concern for torrents that are part of a series is that I might miss one of the torrents, and it gets taken offline before I have a chance to grab it. There are a lot of old torrents (from before I registered) where I don't think I'll ever be able to grab the complete collection because they were spread across multiple torrents.
I understand the concern of the OP, though, who wants a fully seeded torrent.
I wonder if there's a way to notify the uploader / seeders to keep seeding?

But, that's not what's been happening though. People are actually posting packs with random shit that has nothing to do with each other. Not only that, they're posting packs with 4,000 and 6,000 photos. No one human is going to sift through all those photos from one torrent (unless they're high on weed).

We do allow picture packs but that is another topic.
YES, there is a problem with video packs being loaded with crap that breaks the rules. A pack must have a connection, of some sort. Sadly, it seems like many packs are just random videos. I think we, the staff, need to enforce the rule on this a bit harder.
It's already against the rules to upload something and not fully seed it without contacting a Mod to explain why you can't. If it's a tech issue, the staff may be able to help you.

Hopefully the first issue something you can bring up with Pawps and the other staff members for discussion and implementation. I think everyone can agree that GTRU hardly needs more torrents for the sake of quantity (you guys already have an amazing large collection), and everyone would appreciate more careful moderation of curated torrents.
The second issue is really hard to measure and enforce. What does it mean to 'not fully seed' … what if your connection gets closed down for an emergency because you have no power? what if it takes you longer to seed? what if you can't seed during the daytime? This is a tough scenario and I'd rather be forgiving for torrenters who try to seed.

We understand that not everyone has the best connection or other issues. That's not what I'm talking about.
The problem is people uploading several packs and not finish seeding an of them.

Unfortunately, I think the only real way of handling this is to set the tracker to manually approve all torrents before they are actually posted. But, without a dedicated staff, that could be potentially stressful.

Oh, ok… That's really bad too. That has got to be a mental problem. Why would anyone upload a huge, knowing they can't seed? That doesn't make any sense at all.
