My torrent got taken down

@eobox91103 Looks to me like the screenshot posted by @john32123666 may not be current, because it seems to be the site's older colour scheme which was slightly browner.
-
@tnar Thank you sir!
I looked at the source code for that page, and I didn't see anything about "mainstream media" that would get garbled by a browser. And, there's lots of content from the BBC on the torrent site, which would be odd if it were banned.
I'm getting the uncomfortable feeling that the "rules" cited by @john32123666 don't really exist. I hope I'm wrong about that, as it would make for an awkward situation.
-
@drekkin Thank you sir for your eagle eye!
An outdated page could explain this problem...although it looks like @john32123666 is grabbing an image from his browser. I don't know how this would show up: I tried going to archive.org to see if I could get old pages from gaytor.rent, but the upload page/rules are behind a log-in, so they're not archived.
This will be one of life's mysteries.

Perhaps it's a "deep fake." Someone could manipulate the page's HTML code and come up with something that looks sort of real, but isn't. For example, a few minutes of mischief could produce the following:
But note that this doesn't show an address bar. Doing that would reveal that the browser isn't displaying a gaytor.rent web page--it's showing a file on my computer.(For the record, I have nothing against purple penises. In the spirit of Monty Python, let us remember that Every schlong is sacred; every schlong is great. If a schlong is wasted, God gets quite irate.)

@eobox91103 I think @john32123666 just has a very old cached version of the Banned Content page saved on his computer, or perhaps an old screenshot. I do vaguely remember that mainstream tv and movies were banned on this site many years ago and series like Modern Family were routinely removed.
This is how the Rules page used to look in 2017:

That would explain it. I'm glad the rules changed--there's a lot of good gay-related content in mainstream media, and I think it's important for us to see how that is portrayed to the larger public. A while back I downloaded a recent BBC documentary featuring diver Tom Daley about institutionalised homophobia in other Commonwealth countries. I have yet to watch it, but based on a few small snippets, it looks very good.
To come back to the OP's issue, Teen Wolf wouldn't qualify under current site rules as it's neither gay-themed nor "male physique," even if the actors are easy on the eye.

for security reason ...@eobox91103 Teen Wolf wouldn't qualify under current site rules as it's neither gay-themed nor "male physique,"

@john32123666 But if you look at the two screenshots you have posed you can see that the first one is from the previous layout of the website and the second one is from the current layout of the website. The site layout changed to the current one on June 7th 2020. I'm sure you can see why that is confusing.

It's not about layout. It's about accurate information.
The "rules" you posted were not accurate. If you want to use the old layout for yourself, that's your own business. But if you post things for other members to see, please make sure they match what is on the current, live website.
