Pulled Torrents - Unfair

My Nirvana torrent was pulled from circulation because some asshole complained and complained and complained until he got his way.

http://www.thetradersden.org/forums/...d.php?t=105378

Yet these INFERIOR versions of the same tapes remain on the tracker, and are downloaded every day.

http://www.thetradersden.org/forums/...ad.php?t=74511
http://www.thetradersden.org/forums/...ad.php?t=50119

There are lots of torrents on TTD that not only contain official material, but material taken STRAIGHT from official releases. Beatles, Dylan, you name it. Yet nothing is done about these at all.

Do we just pull things willy-nilly around here when people complain?

Moderators aren't responding so I figured I would air my dirty laundry in public, with the hope that someone could explain this nonsense to me.

What part of this did you not understand exactly?

We do not allow official material on the tracker at TTD so I am pulling this.

If you'd like to upload without the officially released material, please do.
...the 2 links you provided to the OR'd show that caused your torrent to be pulled have been pulled. The other 2 are not official releases and allowed. If you got a legitimate link that shows they have been sold, they'll be pulled as well. In the end, it's a torrent on a website, not the f'n cure for cancer, get over it.

Re: Pulled Torrents - Unfair

The other two shows are no different from the Paramount show. PARTS have been officially released. These are the uncut shows. The official release of the full Paramount show is a completely different mix. Aren't different mixes of official releases allowed? Based on the way this tracker runs, it shouldn't have been pulled.

This show http://www.thetradersden.org/forums/...ad.php?t=67299 was officially released. But apparently it's allowed because it's a different mix. How is the Nirvana Pararmount show any different?

Here's another show that was officially released, but is allowed because it's a different mix http://www.thetradersden.org/forums/...d.php?t=106979, again, no different from the Nirvana Paramount show.

Unless there is something YOU don't understand?

The Band, probably shouldn't have been allowed, it's now inactive

The Grateful Dead does not care about anything torrent related except rips of the actual OR's.

Keep linking examples and reporting if you want, it's not going to change the out come.
If you don't like the reply, feel free to start your own tracker and allow whatever you want.

I repeat....In the end, it's a torrent on a website, not the f'n cure for cancer, get over it.

Re: Pulled Torrents - Unfair

We moderate on a case-by-case basis, using the FAQ as guide.

We really do try to adhere as closely as possible. I spent a good bit of time listening to your torrent and researching exactly what it was, all while you bashed me and talked shit about other torrents. I didn't just pull it because one guy complained.

I (and most mods) prefer to focus on one torrent at a time. Yours had multiple reports, so I looked into it as thoroughly as I could. You brought up others.. we looked into them and made calls on those, too. This has already detailed that for you.


I understand you are not happy with the outcome but, since the only way you'd be happy is for your torrent to continue, that's just how it is.


The reason for the pull is detailed in succinct fashion, in the thread (and now this one). Your concerns about other torrents, which have no bearing on this one, were also addressed, as thoroughly as possible.


Thank you for using TTD.

I'm pretty sure we'd grant a pass, for this. Although, if it existed, TV would have posted it by now

Re: Pulled Torrents - Unfair

Is this in anyway related to why, despite the stats showing hundreds or thousands of threads in the "Pulled Video Torrents" and "Pulled Audio Torrents" sub forums respectively, only the two most recent "pulls" visible?

Re: Pulled Torrents - Unfair

from the annoucement post, in that forum, from 2004:

Quote:
Pulled torrents will stay here, inactive, for a week. Users and seeders can view them, and make corrections to their seed to try again, or read why we have not accepted the seed for that period of time. After this, they will be purged from our database.

there's simply no reason to catalog unused threads for very long.

Gotcha, thanks. Never really looked much in those threads, just thought I'd check out the hoopla. I'll have to be quicker next time.

The Pulled Audio/Video forums are set to only show threads/posts from the last month. You can see more by changing the Display Options on the bottom of the page.

Re: Pulled Torrents - Unfair

Is this a very recent change? It would seem to me helpful to retain this database, at least for staff, to aid when the next guy tries to up the same unacceptable show.

Sorry if this isn't the right forum for that question.
