Clarification of rules regarding public trackers and ratios

(1/4) > >>

Calavera:
Hello everyone. I was reading through the wiki reading the FAQs, First time users guide, and the site rules pages, and I came across this quote in this section in the First Time Users' guide.

My question is tangential to this in that I, like many users, don't have a seedbox that they have at their disposal. Anything of decent size that I would want to download would instantly kill my share ratio. Me having just started out on this tracker would prefer to have my account active as long as possible without being banned. So bottom line is that I would like to leech from the public tracker first, with my account logged out. When the transfer is complete, I would then like to delete the torrent entry from inside of my client and then log into my account and then re-add the private tracker that would allow what is being uploaded from that point to count towards my account. The reason that I ask this is because of this entry in the wiki stating that it is a bannable offense to "fake torrent statistics". Would what I have in mind be kosher, or is there something that I am overlooking?

I asked this same question in the IRC channel, but I would feel better having an semi-official word on the matter rather than the word of a couple of users in the channel. Thank you for your time.

megido-rev.M:
Get various torrents with high leech counts or freeleech downloads.
In a nutshell. >_>

Al_Sleeper:
Leeching in public mode with the following seeding in private mode is not a bannable offense. However, this practice is frowned upon on BakaBT.
Use freeleech torrent to improve your seeding base. All 1080p torrents and all torrents under 100 MB are freeleech.

If you don't want to be banned, just don't do anything stupid. In this context, keeping the shittiest ratio in the world does not count as doing something stupid. You kind of have to put in effort to get yourself banned around here.

That said, you can certainly be warned for having too low a ratio.

Dogway:
I'm trying to reach on purpose the 25Gb Download count that justifies becoming a power user (I want to upload a few things), but I'm not caring for upload amount yet until I'm done with those 25Gb first, that makes my ratio really crap to begin with, is this ok?
