it's not just about you; this happened to me with another user
(btw sorry for my rude language on that thread...i don't get angry easily, it only happens to me when there's something i don't understand)
EDIT: just to explain why i'm causing all this drama;
i'm paying a seedbox - a good seedbox, not the $3/month - to download torrents as soon as they're released; i'm paying a vps where i copy the files from the seedbox
**** the above is not of your concern, it's a choice of mine, and i'd never brought it up if it wasn't for explaining the actual situation ****
i spend my time splitting the files, checking them, uploading them to host, sometimes mirroring them, searching for covers and/or screenshots and info, posting them here in a (IMHO) pleasant way; i try to use mostly MU because it seems to be preferred by the vast majority here....
(this is what I do, and what a good uploader should do)
... then somebody pick the links, remote upload them, and post those links in my thread, earning points off my work (yeah, it's p2p, but still...), exposing my original uploads to the risk of deletion (if not downloaded)
IMHO in a forum like this, admins and mods should be GODS, and good uploaders should be something like SAINTS (just for comparison), because they're work is what keep attracting new users
and i'm not talking about who copypaste the ralume, jav4u etc stuff; that's easy to do, but it will lead to nowhere, because mirroring files is a joke, even a 10 y/o kid could do it; what counts is new content, which isn't something all the so-called uploaders can provide
this is the story so far... /edit
I only wanna making mirror links, so people have more chances to download, that's all
if so, why don't you open your own thread? it's too easy to enter in a popular thread and simply drop your links, without any effort on your part
AND what about the hosters rewards? do you know that files are kept alive by the people downloading them? if my files get deleted because people download yours, will you give me the points YOU earned doing nothing more than remote upload a couple of files in 5 minutes?
users will always complain about this and that host, but it should be the original uploader's concern wether to mirror them or not.
mind you, even with a million of mirrors, you could never make everybody happy: it's the human nature :-D
partially edited (i've not been clear enough): what i really fail to understand is; if there is a thread created by Desu, named "ABC-123 on MU", that thread MUST be about the ABC-123 provided by Desu and upped on MU.
if somebody asks for a RS mirror, Desu will do it or not, and in case will modify the title; but that would be his own choice.
if DokuganRyu feels like he needs some point in his RS account it may mirror the files, but he will have to open a new thread, because it's a different user, using different host, and the files are not the same anymore (he could have renamed or rared them, or they could have been corrupted in the transfer, for example), so those links don't pertain to that thread.
there's nothing stopping him from opening his own thread and post those links in there; in fact it would be a wise choice, because if he's a popular uploader people will follow him, and if he's bad he will not abuse the original uploader's popularity (if he has any).
also, what if -following the above example- Desu wouldn't have uploaded ABCD-123? obviously, there would have been nothing to mirror, so no work for the above user DokuganRyu... so why should he be credited in the original thread, if without that thread he shouldn't had nothing to be credited about? another reason for him to open his own. /partial edit
anyway, i've already been warned, so it may be that i'm on the wrong side... if some mods or admin could speak about this, this matter would be settled for me
no hard feelings guys, but i'm uploading and posting on various boards since... almost ten years? (whoa! time flies doesn't it?) and this is the first time i see this behaviour being accepted in a board so big and popular
as i wrote to a mod, i'm not going to live with it, so just tell me IF and HOW you'll apply the no-hijacking rule, then i'll have to choose if stay here or leave, and the peace will come back to this nice place.
