HDB 修改独占规则
Based on recent discussions we decided to change exclusivity of uploads from current opt-out to opt-in form. This means that instead of everything (that's not clearly scene) being considered as exclusive to HDBits and the subsequent need to ask the uploader for permission before uploading elsewhere, most uploads will be considered as non-exclusive except for those that their uploader specifically set as Exclusive to HDBits.
This change will be rolled out in two phases:
1) Uploaders can set/change their preferred personal exclusivity state in your Profile - Security - My uploads are Exclusive to HDBits to Yes/No (default is No).
2) Then we'll later set existing torrents of uploaders as exclusive only for those users that change this option to Yes. Most uploaders will not choose to have exclusive uploads so most torrents will not be exclusive. The setting will then serve as a default option for uploader's new torrents in the Upload form where it can also be changed as he sees fit (and then in the torrent's edit form too). Torrent's exclusivity state will be clearly indicated in the torrent's details, it will be added to API etc.
Phase 1 started just now, the mentioned profile setting is available in Profile - Security, so if you want your past torrents set as Exclusive in bulk when we go live with the torrent upload part, make sure to change it soon.
Phase 2 will be made live in 1-2 weeks along with few other uploading rules changes.
We hope this will make life easier for some users as much (and more than in the past) of content comes from other places in the first place.
Notes:
- This means that there will generally be no asking for permission for uploading content from here to other good private tracker. Public/paid trackers or sites will always be forbidden from obvious reasons. Leaking Exclusive torrents will guarantee high chance of ban if you get reported, it will be viewed with lesser leniency than now when we usually start with a warning and give a second chance, as it will be clearly indicated in torrent's details with big bold red text.
- If uploader misses the initial setting period, we can still do it in bulk later based on request via Staff PM.
