Hi, bob-satan. I guess I'm not quite following your question. Anyone can seed a torrent, including the machine/user that is running a tracker.
The reason I suggested doing a private tracker is partly to avoid the situation of seedless torrents. If there's some kind of share:leech ratio enforcement, it promotes leaving game torrents seeding in the background--and helps reduce the number of abandoned torrents.
Did any admins come to a decision about this? I know it'd be a rather difficult undertaking, but I think it'd be worth it--just to see the larger/cdrom games shared with a wider group of people.
