NEW feature: seed bonus gift!!!

[dentedhalo]

not a bad idea at all though i suspect that many users will be needing to keep their credit to keep their ratio up (like myself)

[ganatu]

I really like this.  My ratio is over 2 so now I have something useful to do with my seed bonus. I can encourage uploads of the kinds of stuff that I like.
This is a REALLY good idea!

SEED BONUS GIFTS ARE APPRECIATED..especially by uploaders like me who have slow internet but I upload a lot..thanks!!!

lol that was fast. I hope torrent descriptions don't get spammed with seed bonus requests…

[Slippery]

Very impressive guys.  ;D Whoever came up with that idea, good idea.  I've read this idea somewhere a long time ago.  I think members have always wanted someway to give each others' credits.  Also the power user for DVD-R is a excellent idea too.

Thanks for making all those ideas integrate into the software.  I'm sure that was the hardest part and I'm guessing there are a few here doing the programming, not just one person.

[geekguy]

I agree this is a great idea.  :clap2:

@dentedhalo:

But there are others, like ganatu and myself, who have big seed bonus numbers and no need to use them for ratio.  I will definitely be thanking people with points.

@tom:

maybe we add this accumulated value to our "most wanted torrents" calculation on start page, because this value will show even more how appreciated a torrent is, than only taking seeders/leechers/snatched into account….

I saw that the gifted points are shown now with the other info on the "Browse" page, which is GREAT!  very useful in deciding what's worth looking at further.

Maybe there should be a policy against begging for seed-points in a torrent description.  I would rather not know if the uploader is needy until after I view the file.  It could color how I feel about giving, make me feel resentful instead of generous.  Better to have a forum section where people could post threads saying " I need points, and here are some torrents I uploaded where you can contribute."  Same forum could have upload requests, where users with points to burn could actively encourage certain types of uploads they want by stating a willingness to gift points.

err.. can we trade/give away bonus seed points??
or just trade them for an invite and send those invites to others?

[Popper]

You can't trade them, but it is possible to give them away as thank you for an uploader of a torrent.
Look to the new box behind the "Thank you" button where you can choose how many points you like to gift.
If you like to give more than 50, just say Thank You more than one times.

Hi

This is really a great feature and very clever idea, many thanks to those who invented and implemented it

However a question. As i primarily upload here i don't really need to receive additional seed bonus points, although of course i appreciate them. Now is it possible to "re-distribute" them also without downloading a torrent? For example if a torrent is uploaded which i already have however i like the video and wish to encourage seeding such material (shemale..!) or i simply like the uploader if i know him personally, can i say "Thank you" and give points without having to download the torrent in question?

Kind regards…...

:urock: Wow nice idea guys  :bravo:

This is going to be fun for many me thinks and spread many bonus points around
:thankyou:

[Popper]

Yes, of course. You can say "Thank you" and give points away to any torrent listed.

[garjr71]

hmm..i better upload that Daddy's Teenage Turn On video soon

then I can bug people to donate me few points to cross my goal of 1.5 ratio

Uwe already answered that question correctly with yes.

But there is another new feature with saying "Thank you" for an upload: Up to now you could only say "Thank you" once, a second thank you was ignored. Now you can say thank you more than once (But the 2nd, 3rd, … time only with seed bonus points (inteded to give more than the max 50 points). This way it is also possible to give a number of points which is not noted in the dropdown box like 100  (2 times 50) or 73 (50, 20, 3 or ...) or give additional bonus points after you watched the video. You will not occur in the thank you list several times but only your given bonus points willI be added to your earlier given "Thank you". This way you can also add additional bonus points to older uploads where you already said Thank you before. I don't know if it is really necessary - but the feature is implemented as well - so you can also use it

Hi.

Many thanks for the answers. Yes, this is a really useful feature and i highly appreciate it. I even used it already As i got a bunch of points and don't really need to convert them into gigabytes, i believe i could not even get below my minimum ratio with pure downloading, it would take me a year at least with zero upload and full-speed download I rather keep uploading, it really feels good to have a three-digit ratio.

Kind regards…...

I think it's wonderful that we can give seed to each other online…although it's not quite as much fun as in person. 

[payroll12]

It would be cool if a column was added to our profile that tells how much sbp's have been given to each torrent 
but other wise good job again

:bravo:

[dokun]

2 weeks not on GT.ru  and i'm surprised to see this great new feature, and its a very nice surprise..  I'm happy to have a destination for my seedbonus points..  Many thanks!  :clap2: :mbounce:

[dokun]

Hello,

I'm asking myself what will happen if a torrent is deleted because the uploader didn't finish the upload (or for any other reason)  with the seed bonus point he got from the leechers of that torrent…? If he still get them then i'm gonna give the seed bonus points after i got the whole torrent file and not like i do now at the beginning.. so i hope that he will not get the bonus points he got from the leechers...

Thanks for answering!
Dokun

If your considering giving many of your seed bonus points to another person, you might want to check their profile first because they might not even need them or care.  I say this because you might have only a few hundred like me, and be giving your points to someone who has over 4000 or more.  I just saw one torrent like that in which the total given so far was 225 by all the members, and the poster has over 4000 points.  He is either saving them, or doesn't even monitor them.

Well of course their isn't anything wrong with doing this if you want, I just simply wanted to make everyone aware of this, especially if you don't have many bonus points and want to give out many of your points to members with lower totals.  But some members profiles can't be viewed.  Just a thought.

[dokun]

I have enough points thats not the problem, but i wanna know what happens with those points i gave for uploading a torrent and the uploader does not finish the upload…

[gzlong]

It will still go into his bonus account even he doesn't finish uploading later.

He will receive a warning and have a record that he did not finish an upload(that haven't happened before). If he receives warning like this twice, he will be banned.

And if someone doesn't feel comfortable with giving bonus gift while a user is still uploading, please wait 3 or 4 users finish downloading.
