No hate, no politics (in effect since 30 September 2026)

I think this is probably worthy of a new thread rather than a red-herring discussion here.
-
@frostycab Probably, if I had more to say, but I don't so a new thread would be superfluous.
This wasn't intended to be a standalone "thing", just a short conversation which flowed from the original thread topic.

@ianfontinell Hi Ian, this is totally a side question, but would love to see a guide to your personal opsec.
Also, do you do anything different when browsing the forums vs torrenting?
I'm not a total dunce when it comes to online privacy, but I also don't enter a clean room and tap into a tamper-proof operating systems from a USB stick. The fact that you toss out terms like opsec makes me think you know a tad more than me, and I am very open to learning how you (or others!) protect yourselves online.
-
@rnd256 me? i don't have any personal opsec procedure and i am, in fact, very dumb!
what i meant initially refers to ways one can mitigate the risks of being sued by porn companies. the website itself makes a good job at protecting its users' anonymity, but we need to play our part and not announce to the world what we are downloading or uploading, because that makes it easier to profile you and associate your username to an inferred IP address.
Ideally you will have your torrent client bound to a good VPN so it is harder to get to you through swarm monitoring, even if you aren't very discreet about your downloads/uploads.
The IP you use to browse the site is irrelevant, you only have to worry about the IP that your client announces to other peers, and even that is important only depending on where you live. There are many countries where piracy is not taken as seriously or where it is just too expensive to take users to court.

-
@frostycab oh, ok
-
@PedrocaWest The rule is not about particular members. It applies to everyone, from 30 September on, and it is not applied to posts from before that date. Joker
-
@Joker I thought I'd check the rules page to make sure it was been added and not forgotten, and it got me thinking. Not everyone will check for new forum posts on a regular basis, if at all, and while I try to keep abreast of things I don't read the whole rules page on a weekly basis. Would it perhaps be a good idea to email/PM all members when a rule is added or changed to ensure that everyone has been duly informed, in the same way that companies send out emails to customers pointing out updates to their Ts&Cs?
