FTN
•Min. (Overall) Ratio: none; ratio-free tracker. If you were not already aware, there’s no ‘minimum seeding time’ requirement on all torrents. That’s not a free license to hit ‘n’ run. You’re not forced to seed to a minimum of 1:1 ratio or for ‘x’ hours but you’re expected to seed for as long as possible. This has been implemented on a trial basis, keeping faith and assuming goodwill on the part of the matured torrent community of FTN. It’s up to the members to make or break it. Leech and seed all you want. Repeated abusers will be dealt with.

Waffles
•Min. (Overall) Ratio: Below you will find a table with the ratio requirements. The left column indicates the tier which will be used for your ratio. The right column indicates the minimum ratio for the tier. For example, if you download 42 GB, your tier would be 45, and your ratio would be 0.30. If you have downloaded anything, tiers will be highlighted to indicate if you match the ratio for the tiers. Green indicates that you meet the ratio, red means you do not. Only the tiers you have reached will be highlighted. Your active tier will be indicated with a ‘»’ symbol. If you are unable to maintain the ratio for your tier, you will be placed on ratio watch. If you remain on ratio watch for longer than two weeks, you will lose your ability to download new torrents, until such time that you meet the ratio. To help our users meet the required ratio, they will be provided with a two week grace period while in the 15 GB tier.

ipt min seed time:

We expect from every user (power user or not) to help newly added torrents to reach a good seeding/leeching ratio quickly in order to help the torrent during the first hours of its "life".

All torrents must be seeded to a minimum 0.6 ratio,we understand this isn't always possible so a ratio of 0.4 is acceptable in this case, or torrent must be left open seeding for minimum of 60 hours. If its a popular torrent with plenty of leechers then there is no reason why it cant be fully seeded to a 1.1 ratio. If you close your client before you reach a torrent ratio of 0.4 or if you haven't reached it (in case of slow upload connections) and close your client before seeding it for the first 24 hours, you will result in getting a automated warning by the System. As soon as you get the warning, you will have the chance to remove it, by correcting your mistake and seeding the torrent to a minimum of 0.4. If you do this in the next 60 hours, your warning will be removed completely.

In case you receive 5 warnings without reseeding your torrents to remove them, your account is automatically banned by the system.

[MrCheat]

very nice post and very well organized, sorry to be offtopic but do you use that username elsewhere kuzaya for example SRO related forums? I may know you.

[GotIt]

Are we allowed to help you out with the list? Because I had some spare time and did two trackers :S

ILoveTorrents.com:

"How do I keep my account active so it will not be deleted? " Keeping your account active on ILT is very easy. All you have to do is log in to your account at least 1x every 30 days..

# With a download between: 3.0 GB and 6.0 GB you must have a ratio of at least 0.3
# With a download between: 6.0 GB and 9.0 GB you must have a ratio of at least 0.6
# With a download above: 9.0 GB you must have a ratio of at least 0.9
Just remember: Who ever you are, What ever your status is, How many millions you did donate .. if your ratio drops below 0.8 (with 9GB or more d/l'ed) and we see no activity from you to get it up, or if you think that you have a right to insult people or this site in general... we will ban you!!

Regardless of status and/or ratio, never hit & run on a torrent that has less then 5 seeders Three hit and run warnings and we will ban you!!

I can't seem to find if there's a minimum seed time.

---------------------------

Torrentbits.ro

* Low ratios will result in severe consequences, including banning in extreme cases.
Automatic class demotion to Peasant:

Users with a ratio below .30 & who downloaded more than 1 GB for 1 week (7 days) will be warned to correct their ratio. They wll be able to seed/leech 5 torrents. If they don't fix their ratio after 2 weeks they will be automatically demoted to peasant and limited to 2 torrents max. Peasants will have 2 weeks to increase their ratio or their account will be deleted.

There is a 80000 invite limit. When that number is reached we stop accepting new invites so no new members can join. Accounts inactive for more than 16 days are automatically deleted, so keep trying. (There is no reservation or queuing system, don't ask for that.)

* Unparked accounts are pruned when 28 days have elapsed since the last recorded activity. Parked accounts are pruned when 56 days have elapsed since the last recorded activity. Also note that we regularly clean out accounts with very low share ratios.
* Peasant accounts are pruned after 4 weeks
* Accounts with nothing uploaded/ downloaded are pruned after 4 weeks

And I can't find minimum seed time :/

* Leecher accounts are deleted 28 days after demotion to Leecher, assuming the member was not promoted back to User during that time.

[MosDef]

Thanks for organizing the info. Another interesting thing to know would be how long do different sites take to delete the account once its disabled. That's probably inside information though. but its nice once account is deleted cause it deletes everything associated with the account like email and ip address. Im guessing that alot of sites are keeping the disabled accounts longer and longer now. Before there used to be delete.php on alot of sites but i dont see that much anymore.

[anon]

Another interesting thing to know would be how long do different sites take to delete the account once its disabled.

Well, most (but not all) TBdev sites delete your account once it's been inactive for enough time. Gazelle trackers do disable them instead, but as you said, how long they're kept in that state before being lost forever isn't public information.

[moreratio]

Thanks for this, has it all been tested? I had no idea about the inactivity period. Better stay active, that's interesting

[GotIt]

Thanks for this, has it all been tested?

We don't need to test anything to compile this list. All the info is in the tracker's faqs and rules. We just need to go and document them.

ah, it's good useful stuff, maybe should be a stickie?

Unfortunately, I have another kind of sticky in my mind. Stay tuned.
