RE-SEED REQUEST (BUTTON) ABUSE… FINALLY EXPLAINED! OUR GUIDELINES:
-
@frostycab I wish I could remember which mod it was - they warned me that they had received a complaint about abuse of the reseed request button for one torrent that I was requesting once per day max.
-
@BKisalive In a way I think that's fair. Whenever someone hit the reseed button everyone who downloaded the torrent in the past gets a message. Now, they're either going to see it and fulfill the request, see it and not fulfill it, or not see/read it and live long happy lives in blissful ignorance.
The thing is that those messages don't time out. They stay in your inbox until deleted, so if someone just keeps requesting the same thing over and over again it just results in an inbox so full that nobody will bother to read any of it which is ultimately counter-productive. At any rate, people will either reseed or they won't, and asking on a daily basis is unlikely to change things. I'm sure there are probably many people who may only check the site once a week (or even less) so when they do eventually see the umpteen messages they may not even bother reading them.
Not having a go at you though. I just think once a week is a reasonable timeframe, especially when you consider that people might be spamming reseed requests for something that nobody on the site has anymore, so it can't be reseeded.

I have had one person request the same torrent to be reseeded 15 times in the past two days. I have reported it but really hate to bother the Mods. I contacted the person making the request explaining they only need to request once but they continue incessantly.
Even in the actual torrent they have become quite demanding. They have left 9 comments in the past two days.

@leeniedo The plethora of comments asking for re-seeding on that torrent is pointless, since they will only be flagged to the original uploader. Perhaps there's a way to educate users that the only people notified of comments on a torrent page are the uploader and anyone else who has previously commented (which in the case of the torrent you cite, is nobody). While it's possible that someone might randomly see those comments, I don't think people who have downloaded a torrent will revisit the torrent page.
Also, I note that nobody is shown as seeding that torrent. If I request a reseed, I always download the torrent and let it sit in my client in case someone, perhaps only briefly, chooses to reseed it.

@eobox91103 you get a system pm any time there is a new comment in any torrent you have previously commented on

Indeed so, as does the original uploader. But these are the only people who will be notified of a new comment. As this thread reminds us, it's much more productive to use the reseed button. I'm not sure how we educate users on this.
-
@leeniedo You know, I tried going into the comments there to nudge that guy regarding etiquette, and he's ignored my comment and added 3 more demands in the span of 25 minutes. Considering he's only been on the site since January and his ratio is already tanked (0.03, requiring nearly 150GB upload just to get back to his minimum 0.55) you would think he would be better off concentrating on avoiding ratio-jail.
I feel embarrassed for the poor fool who invited him to the site.

If a torrent has been at
0 leeches0 seeders for a long time and I sometimes send a request by clicking the request button, is there anything I can do besides wait (and maybe pray?)Thanks!
-
@gabisev Waiting is about the best we can do. If nothing happens in a week or so, you might try it again, and then abandon the cause. Users who have (or have deleted) the material don't want a "please re-seed" note every hour for a month. (OK, that's a little bit of an exaggeration.)
Also, I think you meant to say "zero seeders for a long time." It's seeders who have the material, and you'd like there to be several of them so you can get the material. (This has something to to with "swarms" that I don't fully understand, but that can be the topic of another thread.)

@eobox91103
Thank you for your answer. Yes, I mean 0 seeders. (edited) -
