> "there's no excuse for having a ratio less than 1"

Maybe the context of the quote was in regard to a private tracker?

The "ratio" in terms of private trackers isn't always the real ratio of GBs uploaded or downloaded.

There are for example some private trackers that grant additional credit for longer seed-time or they declare specific torrents "freeleech" so they don't "cost" ratio.

In the end they are just some of the measures private trackers take to strengthen their network, but they lead to a confusing definition of "ratio".

Yes, but this tracker did not offer any such things. The only reason the mean ratio of active members was > 1 was because of the steady stream of users being banned for low ratios.
