I am a new member excited to expand my private tracker collection. I have noticed that many giveaways require giving ratio proofs. Are ANY private trackers allowed or are there specific trackers that are wanted?

Welcome david1999,
this depends on each GA.You only need to be active here and don't rush things.
You have to read what is needed in each GA carefully and see if you can provide or not.
Don't try to collect trackers as much as you can but only what you need.

Proofs are only there to show you know how to take care of your tracker accounts. Some trackers are harder to seed then others. So a ratio proof from what.Cd would be more valuable then a ratio proof from IPT for example. However, most people will accept proofs from any known tracker.

Apart from what.cd . The bz family sites are valuable too

Proofs are good to go as long as they don't invade my privacy

Why couldn't you just show a screenshot of utorrent showing seed ratios? I'm not sure I really understand why a seed ratio for a particular tracker would matter more then just a general snapshot of being a kind person.
