If you don't like the clientel, tell the operators (if the users are breaking the hubs rules) or find a hub that fit your own standards better.
I must disagree about being a leech because I want to block a certain user. In my case the individual has been downloading from me in two hubs at a time. One of the series he's getting from me is one I'm also trying to complete. two other users have told me he's been getting the series from them also, including files I could use. I've asked him to put them in share so he could help me as I've been helping him but he does not. His share never changes, he does not put files he's acquired into share. He has his username and there is a number "666" associated with his username. He has 666.06GiB of files shared and he keeps it at that number to match his username. So he refuses to share anything else, so as not to change the "666".
We all come here to share and help one another out in our "collecting". People who are not willing to help others out yet take, take, take ARE leeches and deserve to be blocked from downloading. I do not feel I am a leech because I no longer want to share with an individual like that. After all, people get from me almost 24/7 and I usually only have 2 or less files coming in, often times I have nothing coming in but plenty going out.
Oh, and I have contacted the operator and am waiting for a reply. You shouldn't put someone down for wanting to block a non-contributer. Noncontributers are just wasting people's time by hoarding and not helping others to get the files they are looking for, so why should people help them.
Enjoy!
