I was more talking about something like this - in that specific case, the torrent with additional content was uploaded by the gallery owner himself, but in other cases it might be done by someone else. Case in point Game CG sets, where additional image variations or other stuff that would get expunged were it added as a new gallery, can be added via a torrent.

See the "Only the gallery owner may post a torrent to his gallery" thing I mentioned. Or at least put a time limit or something on it.

The point was I find the idea of preventing such torrents with additional content to be added by other people to be bad. If the guy uploading a CG set with, say, discarded character images, thinks that's all of the respective content that needs to be there, he won't allow others to upload a torrent for it and a new gallery with that content added would get expunged because it doesn't qualify as a superior version.

Change the way the reviewing works for the "Rating & Reviewing" toplist

Instead of gaining points for spamming every review you come across with plus votes to reach the top of the "Toplist" maybe make it so only the poster of the review gains points by people adding plus votes to it, something like this:

No points for posting a review
+1 or more points for every time your review gets voted up
-1 point for your review getting voted so low it gets removed
No points for voting up or down a review

At the moment the only people really getting rewarded are the spammers voting up every single review they see isn't it about time the legitimate reviewers get rewarded? I know alot of the time it's ridiculous reviews that get the most votes but at least they're putting in at least a little effort, but there are alot of reviews that are legitimate that do get voted up and don't recieve anything for it

Edit:
Then my job here is done

Sorry for not checking beforehand but it just did not seem like that was the case.

Comments do gain toplist points by being upvoted, and comment votes are limited to like ten per day...

See the "Only the gallery owner may post a torrent to his gallery" thing I mentioned.

I don't torrent my galleries so, my galleries would not have torrents with that rule.

Exactly.

Oh, how about a gallery setting for torrents? Something like "Do you want other users to be able to post torrents on this gallery?"

So in the case of certain people (including me) who post torrents onto their own galleries, only the gallery owner's torrent can ever be posted to it.

I thought that implied that it could be optional.

I Didn't notice this thread until now...

Request: Make japanese available at gallery list view

Currently it probably means that (optionally) showing both gallery name and description in list or/and thumbnail view.
I only care for RAWs, which IMO also have no reason to have a "transformed" gallery name.

Currently I have to open every gallery to check the japanese name.

If EH gallery doesn't have traffic throttling it should be trivial to diy a browser extension.
However if it is done on server side, it could be a little cheaper for server and much faster for client.

Probably should be an option in a profile, seems like something useful for Japanese speakers.

Yes, ideally I think it could be an option to choose language of the name.
However now it is not feasible.

Besides, I think it would benefit all Eastern Asian language speakers. (My native is Chinese)
I speculate that recognizing "character shapes" should be much easier than romanji, even if the readers doesn't know Japanese, esp. for the ever puzzling circle names.

I'm unclear why, but for romanji I can only read very slowly and kana by kana, more than ten times slower than English, or equivalent Japanese (if I can understand).


And an off-topic request: This thread be pinned?

This thread be pinned?

Why? It's not an announcement or anything official.

Alright, check out the EHTracker Torrents page, look at the large torrents, and check the rest of the torrents for that gallery. Something NEEDS to be done; people are uploading torrents for galleries that have well-seeded torrents already, it's just a complete mess.

Before I said 6 months or so, but honestly it should be closer to a year. So: A gallery can only have a torrent added to it once a year, UNLESS the torrent has been unseeded for x months, OR the gallery has been updated during that time.

Or just SOMETHING. It's ridiculous right now.

Don't take this wrong way, but this has been bothering me for awhile. You have been asking that something needs to be done about the problem where people makes new torrents on already well seeded galleries. But it's kind of strange seeing how you are asking that something needs to be done, while you also haven't been playing by the rules that you are asking others to do so. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/mellow.gif) Especially looking at some of your latest torrent uploads.

Don't get me wrong, I totally understand and agree with what you are asking for. But your actions just seems to contradict it. Unless you are trying to make a point yourself.

I'm doing it because there's no choice BUT to do it, if I want to stay on the toplist. I wasn't the first to start doing this, I think it was viviv who first did it (posting a torrent like 4 months or so after the previous one was posted), then Robot_X, at which point I realized "Hey, if it keeps going like this I won't be able to stay on the toplist anymore!"

So, there's that. It's also the fact that Manga get more torrent downloads than any other gallery category, so for the most part those are the only ones really worth torrenting, as far as points/GP goes.

Edit: Also, I'll admit, I'm trying to prove a point: if something isn't changed about it, that kind of thing will keep happening and there's nothing anyone can do about it.

Yeah, I can understand how you feel. That's why I pretty much give up on it, seeing how I personally feel like I have to play by those rules. I only upload from time to time now, only if I can find some galleries with old and almost dead torrents.
But I can completly understand it that if you can't beat them, might as well join them. Especially if it isn't against any rules.

But I remember that someone already complained about this before a long time ago about how some torrent uploaders doesn't have any respect for others at all. Where they upload torrents on galleries where a torrent just have been uploaded or well seeded ones. And if I remembered it correct, the answer was that the eh-tracker isn't exactly the most important part of the site since it doesn't take that much bandwidth. So not much will be done about it.

So I think that not much will be done about it anytime soon (or ever).

- A way to search for galleries that do not have any tag in a given namespace, in particular for the artist: and group: namespaces. Making a negative-only search for these two namespaces available (for the whole namespace only, not the individual tags in them) would be ideal if that's possible without a performance hit, but even just something like "anal -artist:" would be very useful to find the galleries with artists / groups that haven't been moved to the namespaces yet. Not really a pressing issue atm since there's so many of them remaining, anyway, though.

- A way to get more search results for a given search than is currently possible. Either an (expensive) hath perk that doubles / quadruples etc. the limit of results you can get, or ideally a way to constrain a search by the date the gallery was uploaded, i.e. something like "anal month:5 year:2010" that would spit out galleries tagged with anal uploaded in may 2010. Since a lot of the older galleries are only very sparsely tagged, finding them through the search is becoming increasingly difficult as time goes by. There's probably a whole lot you pretty much can't find anymore unless you browse the whole list of galleries, since all the tags they have give way more results than the current limit allows to browse through.

Title attribute for ratings that specify how many users have favorited a particular gallery.



In other words, adding a title="Favorited by # users" somewhere in the image tag.



You could make it work only for those who've unlocked the rather inexpensive "More Favorites I" perk.

Hm....a link in the gallery where I can click and donate credits/haths? When I see a good gallery, sometimes I just want to donate some credits for their efforts. However, right now the only choice is to copy the name, go back to the credits transfer, and do the donation. I hope there can be a simpler (or lazier, if you have to say) way to support the translators/uploaders, at least through virtual currency.

Could we at some point get some kind selector for tag type. It would be easier than remembering to modify tags. The present version with namespacing can create bad tags because of the defaults that are being picked when there is more than one valid place. Not everybody is going to know how to fix this. If people can select the space, it gives them a visible way to fix it. There is no simple way to find out about how namespacing is done. You have to seek it out and to do that you need to know what you are looking for in the first place.

This would be extremely good. Currently seeing a lot of misplaced tags.
