I have some idea on whose torrents to avoid but still if you have a good list please share.

Ok, and how is that any worse than looking at uploader name like we're still in 2004. The automatic method is fine.

Maybe for you, but that's not how it is for a lot of other people. Some of us prefer to control what releases we grab instead of blindly passing it off to what is essentially a glorified RSS reader (when you don't set up rules)

Ok, and why is that? I don't see how your method is any better.

Like I said before it's about control. A lot of us want to be able to control what we want to watch, the specific release groups and source of the content we watch. I'm not saying it's necessarily better than what you do. You have a 128tb media server and you're obviously a lot more invested into this whole thing than I am but I prefer to control my content.
