REQUESTS are banned
-
It's it ok to say things like "keep them coming" when someone uploads a specific content creator? I'm just looking for clarification on this.
Sometimes someone uploads a torrent and you would like more about them, but I want to make sure it's up to the rules that is allowed. Not even "request" but more encouragement to the uploader to keep sharing that creator's content.

i'm just curious because i'm learning the site since all the new changes and updates. im genuinely clueless/curious what incident caused the ban? or is it due to people bugging/pestering people?
-
@Justjupa no incident, i think it is just boils down to liability and precedence, to avoid lawsuits
-
Ok thats what i thought literally after i asked my question. Thank you for clarifying
-
Just like how the new rules on No Politics is now posted as an Announcement on the torrents page (and requires the user to dismiss it), I think it would also be valuable (maybe in a week or two), to add an announcement reminding everyone about THIS rule (Requests are Banned -- and referring questions to the admin or to this forum thread topic) ... I keep seeing this come up in the forums as well as in the torrent comments.

just realized that I'm coming up on being a member for 20 years and I'd like to congratulate the community for continuing to go so strong! Your contributions are not acknowledged enough!
-
@xgclx Thanks for the idea, a dismissible reminder for the request rule makes sense. I have passed it on to the admin, who decides on announcements. Joker

@Joker Thank you for taking this under consideration!
And Thank You for all of your hard work for this site!

But how for example i can ask the community for something? There is a guy ripping OF Sites. I found a fresh new boy and wanna ask if he could rip it. I found it nowhere else on the net. Most uploaders are anonym. So the only way to get in contact is the forum. Otherwise i could PM him, pay the OF for that channel and he rip it for us.
I'm a collector of gay themed movies and shortfilms. Some are hard to find, clearnet mirrors dead since years. And i can not ask other collectors if he has that piece i'm looking for? So no requests.
But i understand. People start begging and stuff.
I better ask before i write any question. Came back here after many years pause, Forget the Rules, don't read new ones. I posted a request and got banned. I got my access back after long (bug, tickets, months...) time and don't want to make mistakes again.
How to "suggest" some new/unknown/rare stuff to the other people without break the rules?
Sorry for my bad english.

You cant. It really is that simple. If you want to request things then there are other sites that do allow it, but not here. If you've read the numerous posts on here over the years and read between the lines you'd soon see that this is for the site's protection and there's nothing to be gained from debating it.

@doobiedeluxe quoting directly from a mod's recent post:
Also, just to clarify, saying you like something, that you wouldn't mind seeing more of something, or something more vaguely worded like "Keep them coming" or "keep it coming" are not direct requests, so at the worst, you'll only get told informally that requests are not allowed, but you will not actually get into trouble.
Now, if you say something like "Please upload..." or something like "More please" would constitute a request, but asking something like "Is there more of this performer out there" or "Did this performer make any other content" or "I wouldn't mind seeing more of..." is acceptable, as it is not a direct request for someone to upload the content, but rather, is asking if other content exists or that you like seeing such content.
So based on his own words, it is strictly forbidden to ask for anything specific to be uploaded, but you are still free to suggest similar or otherwise less popular creators.
It is a very simple rule, you cannot ask/request for content to be uploaded here. There's nothing preventing members from using the forums to discuss creators they like, look for suggestions, and even ask for help to find more content elsewhere.
Since you have already been banned for this, I advise you to be extra careful, perhaps you could even PM a mod before making a new topic so they can clear you out or give you further advice.
