Ive always noticed some suspicious profiles on private trackers, where they have enormous ratio stats even though they don't belong to a VIP tier/class. How do they achieve this? Do they use softwares like greedytorrents or ratioghost? If yes how do they go undetectable by the mods? I've been looking up some remote forums from (sb-innovations.de) where there's literally a group discussion on this.

It's easier to play legit than it is to cheat. I doubt many cheaters actually get caught, but like why risk it?

Cross-seed and autobrr. Should be enough to maintain ratios on pretty much any site excluding RED.

Just think of each site as a "game", each one has a set of rules to work inside of, most have "cheezy" strats to min-max ratio with little effort like permaseeding small torrents for bonus points that can be exchanged for ratio.

My go to strat. I already have a bunch of torrents so when I join a new tracker I run cross-seed, then I set up autobrr and grab the internal releases for new shows/movies.

I also have some script to auto-upload to some trackers.

Sadly you’re right about RED, only viable way to get upload on RED is to upload content

autobrr

how effective is this? The idea sounds solid
