Big updates client whitelist, email notification for inactivity & more

There had been a long time since the site got new features, so we did multiple great site updates:

1. Client Whitelist

Due to recent issues with problematic clients we decided to introduce a BitTorrent whitelist.

We compiled a list and enforced it to our tracker. The list is here: Client whitelist and also you can find it in Rules page.

I did an analysis of clients used with Bit-HDTV and added all current clients that are used by our users. Over the next few weeks we will begin to remove some very old and the more problematic clients.

If you experience any issue with banned clients please contact us. The list is still in progress.

2. Email notification for inactivity

We introduced this features for helping you to keep your account alive and avoid the hassle in recovering it.

A poll and a post has been made more than 1 year ago and most of you would like to be notified of pending inactivity.

Do you wish to be notified by email ?

This feature can be turned off from profile under "Get important system notification on e-mail" . By default is on for everyone.

We will send the email (configurable) before 21, 14, 7 and 2 days before deactivation.

4. Form for submitting reactivation request of disabled accounts and lost Two-factor.

If you got disabled or lost your Two-factor auth, now you can access the new form from login page and submit the required information. This will make the process faster and avoid the long email chain of requesting information.

5. Form in user profile for submitting seedbox/VPN/etc

Users can autoregister vpn / seedbox directly in their profile by going to My and click the link "VPNs/Seedboxes"

6. Bonus points will be awarded for partial seeding torrents

We introduces this features because we have a lot of torrents with junk files (nfo, sample, etc) and legacy packs that you can't or would seed it 100%, so we will award you for the seeding size of that partial torrent as it is normal seeding but the seeding size must be at least 2GB. In other words partial bonus will be awarded for seeding the media but not the junk files.

7. Small changes

Raise limits of username (12 to 20) and password (40 to 100) length

Removed the Dedicated users and VIP from staff page.

Added pagination on message page.

Fix rate limit bugs.

Added seeding size to user profile.

8. Backend changes

Backend improvements and improve email sending.
Site administration improvements.
