Let's talk about points and bonuses!

Good morning all !

We wanted to talk to you about bonus points and the FL pool. But before that, I wanted to remind that for reasons beyond our control, uploading video games and applications is not currently possible, and this for an indefinite period (our pox pendant being AFK, we are thinking to find a solution without penalizing the users). In the meantime, we have made it impossible to upload in these categories. Thank you for your patience and your understanding.

Now, let's talk about the subject of the day: POINTS.

As you know, we have the idea of ​​changing the point system soon. Indeed, in addition to being able to make points quickly, there is a small difference in the scale. For some time we have been thinking of a way to standardize that. We think we have found a fairly adequate scale and therefore more logical. We will put it in place at the end of the beta, as we have already said.

In addition, we decided to limit the number of points per day. Attention, this is absolutely not a punishment or want to limit FL. It is not the case at all. But, we think it takes a small limit because some big uploaders find themselves at almost 50,000 points / day, which is 1TB / day. It's relatively huge. For the system to be more accurate, we thought that a limit of 15,000 points per day would always be advantageous for our community, without being excessive.

We know that this decision will not be much appreciated and that it will be interpreted as a desire to stop the FL. We repeat, this is not the case. For this, we will explain our approach and we hope that it will be understood:

On the site, we set up the ratio. It is 0.75 (therefore relatively reasonable) and it is there to encourage sharing and redistributing as much as possible. It is also there to empower users. It's a way, a little archaic some say, to balance the seeds a little. Then there are the points, which are there to help especially the small connections and the users who abused their ratio In this way, they allow to have a comfortable margin and to be able to exchange against Go (or FL personal), because it is difficult to make a ratio against a seedbox. Bonus, it encouraged the seed on the torrents and therefore have a longer availability. It was our idea. However, our schedule (which was a bit haphazard, because we knew by still how to walk the site) has allowed everyone to build a comfortable mattress. Now, after 6 months, we realized that maybe it was too generous and that we had to balance things a bit.

In addition, we have also decided to set up a FL pool. Before we decided for that, we thought we would launch FL about every 3 months. Then after thinking, we thought that the pool had an advantage: it was there to redistribute to the greatest number while involving the users. And it's doing pretty well. Thanks to you, there is a FL every month and this allows everyone to enjoy. Thanks again to the contributors.

But, month after month, we noticed the excesses (the race to e-penis, the triple seed to multiply the points, the privileged categories to make that point and multiple HnR). What was an advantage became a concern for us. Not that we want to control your actions on the tracker, but we had in mind that the benefits of this system and not the excesses it can cause.

That's why, after multiple discussions in the staff, we thought about this compromise: limiting the number of points per day. This will prevent abuse and the system is still very generous for everyone. We do not want to increase the pool up to 50Po (which is ridiculous) or pass the site in total FL. We believe that with this compromise, it will always be possible to have the FL monthly (or more) but it will be more accurate. It will be possible to see if you have reached the amount of points, via a personal progress bar, available in the Bonus page.

Do not worry, we will not install the system tomorrow. We will put it in place on November 1st, which gives everyone time to organize to have a comfortable mattress.

We sincerely hope that you will understand our decision. We are ready to discuss it with you.

Good day to all.
