So I was the moderator that posted the "All accounts are automatically auto-approved at the moment", but I think there was a misunderstanding. The "Auto-Approval" is for their UPLOADS to be allowed, instead of going into a queue where a moderator has to verify everything about the upload.

Sure a few bad uploads slip through but they are quickly removed.

I know there are other sites where they require active logins, as well as uploading X amounts of torrents a month, but they're also FLOODED with duplicates from people just trying to hit their quota to keep their accounts.

We like to keep our uploads on the side of Quality over Quantity. I have personally removed about 40 duplicate torrents today, and countless others in the previous days.

As for the topics of invites/how people are joining, We have a lottery for new signups (As well as users who are inviting others). I can look in the backend of the website and see how EACH and EVERY account was created. Yours for example was created during a period of open sign-ups.

You have very strong opinions about how the site should be run and I understand that, but there is a reason we are the largest site for this type of content.

Hello,

I will forward this information to the higher-ups, but the best work around is to put the words in quotes. IE "Multiple Words" instead of Multiple Words.

I have found this works when searching.

Hope it helps

@lololulu19 Oh. I just looked and there's 179 different ones up on the site, I'll subtract a handful because I can see duplicates that are in the mod section so I'll guess around... 160 left?

I know you're upset about the content you like being removed, but I've lost count of how many times you have said the same thing and have been accusatory toward other users for "abusing DMCA" because they do not min-max their ratios and have lower traffic than other Power Users.

Also: the date the message was sent would be the start date, going off the helpdesk ticket I'd estimate it's been 8 days?

Hello

So, ALL accounts are automatically auto-approved at the moment. We use a system that gives everyone the option to share, but we can restrict that ability if an uploader does not follow our rules, or uploads too many duplicates.

Little behind the scenes info: (shh don't tell my boss ) We don't have to remove auto-approval very often.

I appreciate you reading the forums for information, but a good chunk of that information is no longer valid as we use different systems that work differently. It's good to read up though and be prepared. (I've read all the moderator posts since about 2010 and was in a shock when I went in to do the work behind the scenes).

The Rules however, are almost the same, with the exception of a handful of additions that can be found here: https://community.gaytor.rent/topic/58021/site-changes-7-march-2022?_=1649215099546

If you have any more questions, feel free to reach out My username is the same on the torrent side. If you are unable to message me, reply to this and I'll send a message first

This is a known issue, but in the mean time, please try uploading JUST one picture at a time. You are able to add more photos once it's uploaded.

Only downside of this workaround is that it requires a moderator to approve the additional photos but everyone on the staff can handle picture approvals so it shouldn't be too long.

Sorry for the inconvenience

This discussion has become quite heated, so I'm locking this thread. The bottom line is: We (the site) have a policy in place, that you agreed to in the rules when you made your account (https://www.gaytor.rent/rules.php) that content will be removed when we receive a validated takedown request.

Further topics about this will be subsequently deleted and account warnings may be issued. You have received an answer from at least one staff member, if not more. It may not be the answer you like, but it's the answer we got from higher up.

I'm DandyLion, one of the newest staff members here.

I'm in the process of training to be able to assist all of you with whatever problems may arise. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to say which help sections I'm specializing in but there is a good chance I'll be talking with some of you in the future

Have fun and enjoy GTRU

Hello,

The system is currently being worked on behind the scenes.

I'll take a look at your case, and provided you haven't done anything outrageous...I'm feeling rather... Second-Chancey.

HOWEVER, it does come with a STERN warning from well above my paygrade: If you manage to lose them again, your account would be suspended until the new system is in place.

Please pay no attention to the man behind the curtain

I used to use vpn but was worried I would get banned if another member is on the same vpn

Would compiling a list not make the chance of someone using the same service higher?

We have internal systems that will show when someone is using a VPN to access the site/using a seedbox. We have other metrics we evaluate to determine if someone is abusing using multiple accounts.

I've been having trouble with my VPN raising prices and started looking at alternatives.

It seems like multi-hosters (https://github.com/debridmediamanager/awesome-debrid) are all the rage now, the problem being that most of them don't seem to play well with uploading/private-trackers

I've seen that at least one, TorBox, does seem to try to upload and support private trackers -- https://support.torbox.app/en/articles/10031226-what-private-trackers-are-allowed

The one issue I could see causing an issue is that you'd have to use the unique IP add-on they mention (but doesn't show up on their subscription page).

Are there ones that are recommended/supported here? Or are there better VPN's (most don't seem to support port-forwarding)

I'd like to keep using this site, are there other alternatives that people are using (e.g. VPS/seedbox?)

All our tracker metrics are attached to your specific PassKey.

I cannot tell you explicitly that TorBox would/would not work as I do not have personal experience with them. I can however say that a seedbox MAY cause some flags on our end that could impact Downloading/Uploading until they are investigated and cleared by a specialized moderator

Hello,

We are working on fixing this I promise.

If you end up uploading a torrent with duplicates, just open a helpdesk ticket and a moderator can remove the dupes. (I honestly don't know if users can remove their own pictures, if they can, disregard what I said)

Thanks
DandyLion

I suspect this has to do with some of the backend changes that break some automation tools. I looked into the indexer code that prowlarr uses and I THINK I may be able to reach out to the maintainer and suggest the fix.

The "Live" version of the site is on it's way out and I highly recommend that it is no longer used.

I also run a seedbox on my personal account and have not had any issues. I do recommend what Ianfontinell said and only seed a torrent from ONE of them. I don't know if it would cause issues but I'd rather avoid it instead of finding out

Bonjour,

j'ai regardé votre profil et je vois que vous recevez un crédit de téléchargement pour plusieurs fichiers. L'un d'eux dépasse 100 GB. Merci beaucoup d'avoir partagé.

Désolé si mon français n'est pas très bon... Cela fait de nombreuses années que je n'ai pas eu à l'utiliser

I'll relay this message to the Admins to make sure someone puts eyes on it. I know we had an Anonymizer previously

Hello,

This has been escalated to Joker to take a look at. The moderation team are in close contact with administration and the helpdesk staff to make sure updated information is being shared as soon as we receive it.

Sorry for the inconvenience,

@Kevin4fm hmm, I will look into this further. I can see the torrent in the image (which I removed) is active and you are listed as the uploader but when I checked your active seeds, it isn’t listed. I’ll see what I can dig up on the backend when I get back to my laptop. The mod tools dislike my iPhone (New site is still in development so that functionality should be fixed soon)

@thomasdecath I will take a look at your profile on the Torrent Side and see what I can find out. I clicked the torrent link you posted above and it’s returning “No Torrent with that ID” which means either the upload failed or it was removed.

I’ll return and update this post with my findings

Edit: I looked at your profile and it appears this is resolved? I see current uploads went through successfully

I reached out to the uploader, he reported having a hard drive issue in the comments but I sent him a message asking for any update

@rendytar077 Please try left clicking the arrow on the right hand side of the box.

The screenshot attached looks like you RIGHT clicked the box instead

Thank you,
DandyLion
