Important Tracker News *vote Or Die*

Right now we are semi private as anyone can use the torrents yet we track ratios and have members, I should have said that.

If Datorrents went private what users wouldn't want to track on datorrents?

Bigger isn't usually better.

No, but we do have groups that release on us, remember

Those groups want their releases to get to their users. If we start limiting how their users can get the files, they will go elsewhere.

i honestly cant say i would like to see this become a anime index the fear of dem damn hit and runners is to much

i know the only reason that a good chunk of people seed is becuase the fear of being banned and well i can say that helps motovaite me to make sure i keep my seed ratio up ( even thou its not always so good , dont help that its not reportins 100% correct right now )

honestly i would rather see this tracker go full private than compleatly public cuase if it did only those who give a damn would seed and too many would be like meh its not like they can tell it was me

i know ive not been a member long and honestly can say i was one of them hit and run leachers in the past but then i started to see why its wrong and for that reason i would hate to see this site become a home for them


so in closing i would have to say not only no but HELL NO

With the tracker being public/private, it's really hard to work with things. One of the issues we have right now is that ratios are bound back to an ip address, and this just doesn't work if there is more than 1 user behind an ip (and just flat out doesn't work a lot of the time because it just doesn't want to).

There is another option which is known as passkey where each registered user is given a unique key that will mark it's them.

This system works great with all fully private trackers out there. But, DAT isn't 100% private, so we can't use it.

Let people with mutiple computers linked to one IP worry about it, how is that a Datorrents problem? Same goes for dynamic IPs how is that Datorrents problem? No one forces those people to torrent and torrenting isn't for everyone. I am for staying with what we have got now.

you know i wish i had some sorta cure all idea for this but i cant see it working well as a full public tracker in my mind it just seems like a feeding trough for leachers

i know its sad that alot of people need to be forced to seed but thats the truth
and while if DaTorrents goes full public i know its will not be the end of them but it will be much harder to keep some of the larger files alive than it already is now

i know it seems like im complaining about it but not adding to the soulation and well really thats about what im doing but i feel it needed to be said

oh and i had a question or 2 if this tracker were to go privite and you had to register to join and keep your ratio up to be a member whats wrong with that ?

and just out of some random thought i just had how do you keep your ratio up on a private tracker when eventualy your gonna be the last leacher for a file with no one to upload to?

and while ive never been a part of a privite tracker is it all that bad , i mean althou your forced to share and not suggested to i see that as a good thing less chance of seeds vanishing at random

oh well thats about enough for me for now and i liked that passkey idea thing but you said it was for full privite only so thats not a soultion for here for now atleast well enough of my ranting


oh one more question (maybe one if i dont get any more thoughts in the next 20 seconds) is there any one to fix it to goback to how it was before this semi privite style where the honorable LPO's kept us safe from harm , and where the ratio's were kept track of accuratly and the world was happy ( that being our little anime/hentai/whatever ya came here for world not the real one that would be to big a task for any one ) and the leachers were the subject of storys told to little kids to scare them into being good

LPO's still exist and tehy keep the community clean when they can. Ratio's have never been correct, even from day one they were always wacky.

Going fully private would solve it all, but would force everyone to register (registration would be fully public, though, none of this invite crap :P ).

Which seems to be the best of both worlds to some extent. My big fear is we lose any sense of community by going totally public. I like being at 4chan and seeing a manga listed as on the Datorrents tracker. I know that I help just a little bit to make sure it's got a tracker to be on. That is the benefit of a public tracker,

I am so opposed to the leechfest attitudes out there, just because you can torrent get the file and leave with out seeding crap doesn't make it right but lots of folks think it is. Without ratio enforcemet I don't see how you get people to stay and seed without over all ratios.

then why not go privite with open regeristion and just warn/ban the super leechers? if that would solve the issiue
i mean you currently have to reg and login to upload a torrent and those who do serious uploading are more than likely already registered so really only those that would fall under the catogory of leechers would have to do something that they havent done in the past and to me it doesnt sound like a bad thing to make them do could be a good learning lesson for alot and could make the BT world a better place

well here's to well wishes and good thoughts right?

Question: as one of your forum moderators, and not a tracker mod - how would this change my duties, if we were to goto an anime index?

Note: I'm willing do to more work, I'd just like to know what it is
