<![CDATA[Suggestion: File Obituaries]]>Every now and again, torrents that I've downloaded from here (and ones that I am seeding) disappear from the tracker.  I'm the curious type and I always wonder why they disappeared.  My suggestion is to provide a thread in the forum to track these deleted torrents and to provide notice as to why they were removed.  I'd also like to see a feature where those who downloaded either a damaged or virus-infected file could be notified of the danger.  Possible ?

Well, there is already the Log > http://tracker.gaytor.rent/log.php and a function allowing to write to all peers of a torrent is AFAIK on te to-do list since months (or years).

I wasn't aware of the log.  Having a look at it, I couldn't find the deleted torrent I was looking for. [ sp8234_out of hand ]

Being on the to-do list is good.  However . . . .

Both can be followed in the Log.

Then it would be moved a Category called Mod's Only to allow leechers to complete the download and then it is deleted from the tracker completely.

#2 reason would be a banned torrent / Studio. These torrents are deleted immediately regardless of leechers.

#3 reason would be if a Studio / Producer asks that it be removed from our tracker.These torrents are also deleted immediately regardless of leechers.

#2&3 would prevent there ever being a thread about why a torrent was deleted. I realize this could cause confusion with members but it is unavoidable I'm afraid.

Damaged or infected files are also deleted after a thorough investigation. I do not know about a thread to announce this but I can see where it is maybe a wise idea. Let's see what other staff thinks about your suggestion.
