@ianfontinell-0 that worked! thank you!

@MaleMan I remember unchecking the 3 boxes manually so they definitely were disabled by default, correct me if I'm wrong. You could have gone check but you just want to complain.

I would go look, but now it is gone so I will take your word for it. Will look in the future.

That kind of makes sense. That implies even the original poster does not get a reseed request (odd, but good to know), and is not included in the snatch count, correct?

Thank you for the explanation.

another thing i forgot mentioning is checking if you really are not batshit stoned and are actually looking in the right place: https://www.gaytor.rent/browse.php

@ianfontinell-0 Thank you!

@ianfontinell-0 said in naked advertisement spam in torrents:

@spiffyweasel-0 it's definitely not endorsed but on the same not it's not against the rules so, in a sense you're right, everyone can create their own site and advertise it in torrent descriptions.

if you have enough free time and money i suggest you try it so that we will know for real how effective this approach is, but i suspect that it's not great.

another thing is, it'd be hard to check metrics to see who is visiting your links coming from GT because the site removes referers from the URLs, it will look like the person has typed the URL manually instead of clicking an ad.

right, which is why i suspect this is not just some affiliate (since the referer stripping would prevent click tracking as you said) but the actual owner of that site who earns money by running ads on the site itself.

@spiffyweasel-0 Usually, clearing the cache and cookies, then doing a force reload will fix the issue.

@raphjd said in Forum Topic/Post Bonus:

it's a mixed blessing as it added posts in the forums, but it also added a lot of forum spam.

If it adds topics of interest to the forum, that's a big plus, as traffic has slowed down in the last few years. But spam posts simply to harvest seed posts are a pain in the ass for everyone.

There was an issue with the site that I raised to the appropriate channels. The issue has now been resolved.

@frostycab yeah cheers, I exclude that from my default search but like you say, they add in amateur which fills my search pages with OF content.

Cheers anyway 👍

@sirtricksalo

That is an enemy of site user/security.

The site owner would rather delete the entire site than risk security.

this is first time hearing about this

Hope it's ok to bump this. Using the browse page kind of works sometimes, but it's not consistent. At best I select one or more main categories and a 2nd required category, but even that it's giving me uploads that don't include the 2nd category. One of the mods said in the other thread that maintainers aren't computer scientists, which is entirely fair, but I am a software engineer, so I might be able to help (currently looking a request structure to see if it can be accomplished there)

@EugeneGabija-0 it is not built-in and it's also not a glitch, url.rw is no longer a dereferer tool , in fact now it is a referer tool. they need to remove it from the site code (if they ever), in the mean time you will have to copy and paste links instead of clicking.

or you can use a userscript to remove the defunct tool automatically.

@chuck75-0 ah yes, pussy jumpscare, a terrible inconvenience 😂

the main/sub category system is flawed by nature, it turns your search results into a lottery. some things you're looking for that are there will never make it to your results, while things you don't want will be all over the place.

we could even ping @Joker to make sure he's aware, but considering that it has been like this for the last 20 years, I doubt it will change.

Yes, it's broken now

@frostycab just a few topics before yours, i already saw someone complaining tha the upload page was not accepting pictures and that GUU was not working, so it seems to add up to the brainfart theory.

Perhas the site itself never went offline, but the backend stuff where uploads are processed could have faulted.

@raphjd Thanks for the update.
