Well Prepared Torrent Upload Rewarding

ballard1

Uwe, I am pretty sure not many guys are aware of the trial ratings system because not too many people bother to check out the forum.
Since it's only a trial and not all moderators are participating it probably doesn't make too much sense to announce it on the browse page.
But at least one guy was really happy about it: http://tracker.gaytor.rent/details.php?id=110401
:cheesy2:

Good work!
And yes: the Admin should reimburse you for the points you are handing out. After all they can "print" as many as they like…

Count me in too.

I'm just not sure how, and where, are we supposed to mark the reason of the gifted SBP.

leatherbear

With Brandon I just pick an upload and gift that upload.Usually 400 points or so at a time. I then leave a comment explaining the extra seed bonus points that have been gifted.

Does this mean you do not want the extra SBP's?

There will be always such type of members. The answer to them is simple: These are our Seed Bonus Points we give at our discretion. It is not a right of them, which can be claimed.

Popper

The first two days of trial show that it is important to practice it, to get a feeling how the set-up works.

A few well rewarded torrent uploads:
http://tracker.gaytor.rent/details.php?id=110479
http://tracker.gaytor.rent/details.php?id=110483

The first shows there is a glitch in the Picture section, though there are meaningful contact sheets and a few big pictures (most likely from the site), as per the check list, no point is rewarded. I felt it should get a point for "a few good picture". Can someone help to phrase "some good pictures" in something more objective?

I feel as well, that for some items, points should not be given, but rather deducted from the elsewise given points:

for having the title and/or description in ALL CAPITALS
for having the "�" sign in the title or description
for asking for Seed Bonus Points

That would give the room for more 3 more "Picture" items

Comments?

geographer

Maybe we could make a general entry, something like using a decent char set in title and description, that will include the useless caps and unreadable symbols.

As for the SBP begging: I still think this should be taken into account separately.

And I have a question: what do we do if the description is entirely not in English? It would be hard to analyze its content.

Note the checklist in the comment.

Congratulations… trial runs well...
There is only one thing.
I don't know if that would be too much work for the moderators but I wonder if it makes sense to award the points immediately at approval time.
This uploader (I assume it's the same in all three cases because the uploads are formatted in a similar way) does very well and gets rewarded for uploads meeting most criteria BUT there seem to be problems with his files!
Of course you guys cannot check the quality of the file at approval but waiting 24 hours before awarding the points gives you the opportunity to see the complaints in the comments section.
I haven't downloaded them myself so I can't tell what's wrong. But there seem to be issues.

there is no point in having tags if they dont link to all the other torrents that have the same tag. otherwise they're just filler for idiots who cannot figure out from the pics or description what kind of porn it is. and what is the point of adding this sign ~ ?
If you ever go to a site and they have like key words or whatever, almost every scene has the same tags or words.

for me a tag is something useful and pertinent:
the models names are important, the studios are important- they tell more about the clip than "twink" or "hunk" or "college" or "blonde"
although if i see "jockstrap" and "redhead" i get excited!

hahahahahaha

i have image grabber and mov and mkv are two i recently tried that dont work. any other grabber that will?

xenu

i would ask ballard but he doesnt allow his profile being shown which is pointless now because nothing is on there anymore that is personal.
could be a vista glitch. has no trouble making avi or wmv some others, but not mp4, mov, mkv…alas....

I always use the VLC player. It handles all formats and does great highres screenshots and thumbs…
Maybe not as convenient than a dedicated program but I like the output.

There is an excellent explanation and description og TAGs (and the importance of ~ char) here:
http://community.gaytor.rent/index.php?topic=13672.0

The issue of whether or not tags should be LINKs rather than search parameters is a topic for another, um, topic. (let's not clutter this one up)

yeah i read it and my opinion is it's filler.
if they were linked it wouldn't be- there would be a use for it.
this is the forum and that's my take on it.
i will still do it to be anal about my posts, but i don't think it helps anyone or that anyone will use them as they stand now…
i also think it is appropriate in this topic because it's one (or two) of the criteria for bonus points for a well-prepared torrent, so clarification and opinions on it seem warranted…
