Honestly, I agree with this completely. I got into private trackers earlier this year and after a couple months just quit. On public torrents I have a seed ratio over 5.0, since I have gigabit upload and just like giving back, but private trackers just ended up being a pain.
Having to manage ratios was a pain. Having to build your ratio with freeleech was a pain. I never had a single torrent get a positive ratio. To top it off, I didn't even find the selection to be much better than public trackers.
Maybe I'm missing something, but I tried 3-4 and then just gave up. Too many rules and not enough reason to use it.
