Several questions about takedowns...
-
Hello, I recently uploaded a torrent that almost immediately got taken down by DCMA. I have several questions regarding this:
- Will I get banned by admins if I keep posting contents that might or will get taken down?
- Are there ways to evade or at least prolong the torrent's life before it's taken down?
- Is there a risk of my information leaking to the authorities or something?

You will get an account warning if you keep re-posting taken down torrent and your download/upload privilege will lead and result for about 90 days revocation ...
Are there ways to evade or at least prolong the torrent's life before it's taken down?
No ... Once the torrent is remove from the tracker list it will no longer active and result as Failure unregistered torrent ...
However you can keep seeding if there are peers connected, but ratio will no longer count ...Is there a risk of my information leaking to the authorities or something?
No ... In any case, The site never reveals user information ...

In fact yes. Avoid uploading "official" pictures, only upload frames you took yourself from the uploaded material. Avoid using descriptions found on the internet, write your own or just skip it altogether and just write technical info like resolution, lenght, etc. If it's from a studio avoid writing its full name, go with abbreviations such as CB, SC, CF, etc. If the video has a working title try not to use it, prefer just the actors names.
This helps to prevent reports filled by bots and web scrapers, but it's not guaranteed.

In fact...No.
What is the point of changing the name or using abbreviations? How are people supposed to find or search for such a title?
In any case. I think it's somewhere in the Rules that you're not allowed to change a video's title to "disguise" it. -
@cinemacapman abbreviation is not a disguise, you can write the name of the actors regularly. As I stated in my message there are automated techniques to deep search all the indexed internet pages like google search or even a private community like this one, the database used to do this process involves primarily pictures, keywords and strings such as the description you find in studio sites for a given scene.
I don't know if you're genuinely asking how the things I said can minimize the odds of getting a DMCA or if you're just straight up saying it's bullshit, if that's the case just go and dm any mod and ask about it.
