All freeleech torrents are now all 1 week old or over
-
I have noticed that recently freeleech torrents all now show as being at least one week old. They used to appear as hours and days. Is this a configuration or moderation change?

@masterskinsx Yes, there has been a change. What you are seeing now is torrents that have been freeleeched by users using their seedpoints, or by mods after a member has asked them if they could freeleech a large torrent.
In the past you would see freeleeched torrents with a date that is the same day it was freeleeched, but that is because there was a policy if something was reported as a duplicate the mods would delete the duplicate and promote the original to recycled status. GT no longer does that. You will notice you no longer see the ♺ icon in torrent titles. They did away with the practice.
Hope this makes sense.

@masterskinsx This is because of doing away with torrent promotions. Since the beginning, torrents need to be at least 7 days old to make them freeleech. When you would see supposedly newer torrents on freeleech, it was because a mod would freeleech it, then promote it. Since there is no promotion of torrents anymore, this prevents this illusion from being possible any longer.
