The problem is it doesn't log activities on IPs of unregistered users. Is it that hard for someone to register an account. Getting unbanned is simple enough. |
the problem that i obviously see is that it is banning ppl on what they are working on. sure you may download the torrent faster then up, multiple torrents really do this, and then ppl get banned when working on the torrent. so in other words, you could be the biggest leech in Da's history, aslong as you download slow enough to not have a bad ratio when your downloading. resulting in lots of gigs of non-shared back anime.
if it was based on ip addy's then it could even be scripted and wouldnt have to get lpo's to do it. So if a certain ip has a bad ratio from the tracking of that ip's activity, then banning it would be a valid argument. then when that person registers and account, it would track by account, and if the ip changes, it would not include the accounts activity on that ip, and if its a first time reg, it would reset that ip.
also by banning by ip, if somone gets a bumed ip from a renewal, sure they have to reg it, but thats the same as banning ppl and them changing thier ip addy. and if they really want to end the banning process for anon users, make the site reg only, wich isnt always welcomed.
finnally, i say that ip logged usage and ip log based banning is the most logical and the most realistic way to ban for leeching.
