Is Ratio Cheating prevalent on private trackers? (lemmy.world)

Ive always noticed some suspicious profiles on private trackers, where they have enormous ratio stats even though they don't belong to a VIP tier/class. How do they achieve this? Do they use softwares like greedytorrents or ratioghost? If yes how do they go undetectable by the mods? I've been looking up some remote forums from (sb-innovations.de) where there's literally a group discussion on this.

I have pretty stupid ratios on some trackers without cheating.

I don't have a seedbox, but I do have a dedicated server in my basement on gigabit fibre with QBT running behind a VPN. My most used tracker has refundable torrents for all TV show seasons, so I seed those for 30 days and get insane free ratio. Other trackers frequently have 25-75% freeleech, and I try and configure Sonarr/Radarr to prioritize those torrents.
