Asking For Seed Bonus Gifts
-
I never give SB to anyone who asks for it.

Saw this in a torrent description today: "Please help me with seedbonus, my DL rights are taken. Thanxxx" What offended me the most about it is that he has upload credit of over 400 GB so he should understand the ratio rules. Also, he has been given over 5000 points but has only given out 50 points. He has uploaded nearly 20 torrents so he knows how to increase his ratio and is only 12 GB in the hole. One would only need to upload 4-5 1GB torrents to satisfy "The Rationator".
It might be that the member you speak about went a long way to get close to have the download rights back. I guess you can't see when his download rights were disabled ?
Perhaps you could give me by PM a link to that torrent in question?
At least that member DOES upload new own torrents, which makes him positively outstanding from the masses of the members. Not asking for SBP would even be better IMHO.
Note that when I get across SBP requests visible in the listing, I edit the descriptions so they don't appear any more visible in the list, but only in the description.

I agree with that; on the other hand, the fact that he has been a member for nearly 3 years and appears to be experienced with torrents makes him, in my opinion, more responsible for managing his ratio than, let's say, a new member who has never used torrents before.

So, is this considered over the line? :cheesy2:

That's kind of funny actually.
I guess it wasn't TOO funny, cuz it was removed from a torrent I just uploaded. Oh well…back to the whoring, er drawing board. >:D

IMHO that has not to be in a torrent description and the design is illustrating a wrong perspective: the poor uploader begging in front of a rich guy.
Original torrent poster are not poor and should not need to beg: It is them the generous who give and share, the downloader should gratefully give their (small) obolus to thank them, without being asked for.
Then the downloader are not a single rich, but multiple members, who have to earn their Seed Bonus Points through long seeding or getting thanks on their own upload, they may be as destitute or even more than the original poster
-
But, since we live in an imperfect world, this is less likely to happen
This only shows once more people's true attitude towards themselves and others: it's always easier to beg and demand rather then to actually do something to make things change…
Which is quite sad actually

It was me that removed it. I have this thing about people asking for seed bonus points in a torrent upload. When I see it, I remove the begging. Call me a prick if you must, but I just think torrents look better without begging for SBP

Well, my real goal is to garner enough bonus to exchange for an invite. I have a friend who would love this site. And he always maintains a respectable ratio. Once I have that, I'll gladly donate to others in the future.

All members got 4 invites by default, so there should be no need for you to exchange Seed Bonus Points for an extra invite.
In addition only Power User can actually make use of invites and you are not yet Power User.
If I am not mistaken, registration of new accounts is currently open. Even if not, usually it is open the first day of a month, just tomorrow. So tell your friend to try to register tomorrow.

Heck, I wish I'd known about the 1st of the month rule. Every time I came to this site, I just got a message saying it was by invite only.
Good to know. Thanks for the info, uwe. Much obliged. :cheers:

I don't know about that but if not then about a third of the planet is interested in checking out Huge Studio–Bare Huge Dicks #4. :cheesy2:
That sounds about right :rotfl:
-
That is just the result of bogus torrent clients sending on each tracker update (each 30 minutes) "have completed" messages instead of "have all files" messages.
-
That explains why I've been treated as a social pariah when i enthuse about "Bare Huge Dicks #4" with all those i meet. I figured at least a third of the people i talked to would share my interest, but so far I've only found a couple of old ladies and a few nuns…
:rotfl:
although i have to add that most nuns were very disgusted (at the lack of triple penetration scenes of course)

Sorry guys but I am totally offended by seed point begging and I see it repeated again and again - "Seed points appreciated…" "Thanking you in advance for your seed points..." etc.
That's not to say I won't gift an uploader for a great or wanted video - as long as there is no request for the gift then I am happy to contribute a fistful of points. Gifting should be MY decision and I shouldn't feel compelled to do so because someone is seemingly putting a price on their download and begging does just that. It makes me feel that if I don't gift the uploader after he has made it clear he needs/could use/wants the points then I'm a bad person. And really, I'm not a bad person at all.
So for me, if you offer a torrent and it is something I want and I don't feel put upon to gift you then you'll probably get some points. I'm here so often that I'll download the video first, watch it, and if its good I come back and throw some points your way.
-
"totally offended" seems a tad strong.
'appreciated' or 'thanks for seed points' doesn't sound like begging either.
Gifting is YOUR decision but a reminder from the seeder that he could use a few points is no great shakes. Let's face it, few people even say thanks, never mind add a gift.

I never give SB's to anyone who asks for them its so pathetic. If its a good upload I'll give you a bonus. unless you've asked for one.
