Seed all the big stuff and you'll get over a thousand.

That means I should download more than a TB there. Right?

...then they invented "show as seeder"

...then they invented "show as seeder"

Where exactly is that?

[anon]

In the Extreme Mod's settings, or running the NoReport-Seeder uTorrent mod.

Ah, never used that. Oh, well... If it gets you 60k points in no time maybe I should try it :)

[fakeking]

It will if you still keep your downloaded torrent intact and you have patience

Bonus points are back:

..............That said, moderators will be checking the bonus flow on the site and make sure people do not abuse the system. We will be upping the consequences for abusing the bonus points system and you should expect to see a news post regarding this shortly.

As spektormax says, "it's all about the math". We have to work on some new formulas for collection of bonus points, but this shouldn't mean we have to halt the collection and spending of bonus points, so they are back.

You can still trade them for upload (and viceversa), invites and a custom title. PUs can donate them to other users as always. Common sense would dictate that after this you shouldn't do what I have done in the past and "seed" hundreds of GBs

Folks....

1) Any idea how the mods will check for bonus flow?
2) What is the latest consequences of abusing the bonus system? Has anything been posted after that?
3) So did they actually came out with a new formulaes for collection of bonus pts after all these months?

So it seems like bonus pt system can't be exploit anymore? doesn't look good.

1. I've contacted the staff (something which can bring attention to my account) twice, with no negative effects.
2. I don't think there's anything new to say
3. As far as I know, no.

Look at the post's date... I think they must have forgotten to add the new formula or dealing with abusers

Ah ... I know...one of the time is for me. My bad.

So anon, are you still on the uT mod with the hundreds of torrents?

I was happily loading up my hundreds but by the time I finished this thread I immediately removed them.

I was looking high and low in the site and there is nothing the mods could use to check bonus flow unless he/she looks at each individual profile for the "points per hour".

Works perfectly with 1080p material :)

Thanks. The big question on my mind is how many torrents is safe..... If let's say I use my firewall to block the uT mod and make it un-connectable, will it be more convincing to show why those hundreds have no traffic?

[fakeking]

But isn't unconnectable won't give you points at all?

PTPC doesn't care.

Not true, you still get points at full capacity.

isn't it dangerous to seed them while not appearing as leeched them before?

Once again, PTPC doesn't care.

anon, don't always said don't care someday they'll be care. But seriously maybe they don't care that nifty stuff atm because they're migrating to new domain, re-organizing stuff and must take care of that first.

I thought they have done so about 3 weeks ago? Or did I read the news on the homepage wrongly?
