A new rule (No. 11) added to Additional Rules: "Do NOT abuse the bonus point system

Short version: Do NOT abuse the bonus point system.
_________________________________________

Dear Jpopsuki,

Up until lately (2025.02.11) it was universally permitted for users to seed as many torrents as they wished for bonus points. We did not interfere with this even though at times it seemed some users were imbalancing the tracker's economy in this manner. This was of course an avenue for greed but we believed most users would apply common sense and on their own rein in their more competitive or ambitious impulses.

However, over time we have witnessed this wishful attitude to not work as well as intended. We now have thousands of users who have abused this system to absurd heights with no regard for the spirit of mutual contribution that is expected in file sharing. Assumption of good faith no longer works very well.

As such we are going to add an explicit rule prohibiting the abuse of Jpopsuki's bonus point system. You can read this rule on the forum thread for Additional Rules under heading No. 11.

Please read the rule and the examples it provides carefully. If you suspect you are in violation of the word or spirit of the rule cease the abuse immediately. The main penalty for this abuse is losing access to your account. The decision as to whether abuse has occurred is with the staff and final, as with other staff decisions per our Golden Rules which you can read by viewing the Rule Index.

If you decide to invite new users to Jpopsuki please also remember to remind them to read our body of rules. In particular, if they might have the incorrect impression that Jpopsuki allows the behavior pattern prohibited in this rule due to having heard online rumors.
