Power User Status
« on: July 25, 2010, 09:14:02 PM »
So I already seeded 50GB
and I have a sharing ratio more than 0.5

Where can I check that my user is a power user?

that's the main question...
but if somebody would add what a power user does that normal user don't, I would be grateful.
I know I can search it on the forums and rules.

Oh! another one... how can I upload my own torrent now?

To see what sort of user you are click on your name in the top right hand side where it says Welcome Back (Your Name)
This will take you to a screen where it says: Your Name (Member - Power User)   or whatever kind of user you are

As for what the different classes of users can do it's in the wiki

can view peer lists and report bad torrents or comments. Can make torrent offers. Has access to RSS feed.

View peer list? I thought we could see that in the torrent we're downloading.

report bad torrents and comments? I already made comments before I'm a power user. Report bad torrents... I guess that sorta makes sense though I thought it would be better for everyone to report bad torrents. Then the admin can really be cautious.

I'm new to this forum stuff what does RSS feed does, and what is it?

Sorry I know this doesn't relate but I'm trying to learn  ;)

RSS - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS

Basically a RSS takes updates from one or many 'feeds' you subscribe to and displays them in one page/application/thing this can be useful for example when you are only interested in a summary of what has been added/updated to a website/service and don't want to bother going to all the pages individually.

The BakaBT RSS specifically is a list/summary/description of all recently approved torrents.

To subscribe to it click on the orange icon that appears in the top left hand corner of the banner at the top of the BakaBT home page
See http://wiki.bakabt.me/index.php/The_BakaBT_Website#Header for a picture (It's the orange icon labelled 2)

Can't answer the peer list, and someone's already covered RSS.

As for the remaining part, you seem to misunderstand the semantics of the statement. "Report bad torrents and comments" refers to reporting bad torrents and reporting bad comments, hence reporting bad torrents and comments. It doesn't mean that the subject can report bad torrents and make comments, which would be a misunderstanding on the statement and/or just a really poor understanding of English.

You can only see the clients that you are connected to in the swarm.  As a Power User, you can view *everyone* who is seeding or leeching a torrent without needing to even download the .torrent.  It also shows you their usernames on the site and some upload/download statistics.

For instance:
Projects of interest: nagi | sheska | bdg
