@jokuihmemies This is explained on the FAQ page ( https://www.gaytor.rent/faq.php ).
I haven't seen anyone in pink as a VIP. The page above says,
Auto-upload privilege seems to be separate, probably at moderator discretion.

Auto upload is something we used to have. If you established a decent enough good upload history without mod assistance, you could apply to have your uploads automatically approved without a mod review. Eventually, we got so big that we couldn't keep up with the rate at which people were uploading torrents, so we had to auto approve everyone.
This option is still available to mods in a user's profile, however since there is no more torrent approval app, it more or less means that once disabled, your uploads sort of go nowhere and do not become visible to anyone other than you, so they get stuck in limbo. You can apply to have your upload rights reinstated, but whether or not this happens is determined on a per case basis.

I have, but those profiles are hard to find. In most cases that I know of, you can only get VIP status if you have had a major contribution to the site, particularly if this contribution was for an extended period of time. Many people on the VIP list are former long term staff who have stepped down for some reason.

Thanks for the information. I remember getting a PM quite a while ago saying that I had reached auto-approval status, and it felt good
Having auto-approve for everyone does explain why some torrents show up described only as "Hot Sex" with no pictures. In the past, those might not have received moderator approval. I'm sure those were tough calls--after all, we want people to share their material, and disapproving a torrent probably needed to convey "it's not that we want to disapprove--we want you to improve."
-
@eobox91103 Yes... Uploading a lot of garbage torrents can get your upload ability revoked, at the very least temporarily. We encourage you to report such torrents for being garbage torrents that in no way follow the intended rules and requirements.

@MrMazda ironically, the GOOD videos get nuked the instant they are discovered by the hidden censor, whereas the GARBAGE is allowed to remain on the site! I used to get over 95% of my porn here. Now that is down to about 10%.
About 20 minutes ago, a good video appeared in the BROWSE section. About 5 minutes later, I tried to download it, but it had already been removed! Nobody reported nor reviewed that. It was spontaneously nuked. -
Why someone keep complaining about Take Down issues ...
While staff doing their best to comply w/ the site restriction ...
Are you not aware of legal issues/action that you may get sued or fine by the distributor for any illegal activities ... -

Because someone wants attention

No, he's not.

@lololulu19 The quality of torrents and having torrents taken down are not the fault of the website.
Websites operating in the US are required to abide by DMCA Notifications, otherwise the site loses its safe harbor and can be open to liability. Operators of websites are required to take down infringing content in a timely manner.
-
I think this thread has run its course--the OP's question has been answered, and the topic has shifted to another fruitless rant about porn and copyrights. I suggest that the forum administrator lock the thread.
Move along, boys, there's nothing to see here....
-
@rnd256 There are four sites operating the way this one is. This is the only one taking down videos. That is not even the point. The point is that someone is taking down videos on this site without any DMCA request being made, and without anything being reviewed nor verified. One of the moderators uploaded a video of HIMSELF that got taken down as a DMCA report, when obviously there was no DMCA report. I suggest that if you are so concerned about this.. leave the site. I have repeatedly said that troll users who are not here to upload (nor download) anything should be removed from the site. In fact, I would require new users to upload something before they get access to the site. When I first joined this site, I had to show that I was a member of other sites, and list what I had uploaded to those other sites. Somehow, the standards have changed, and anybody can get access to this site without contributing anything at all, and not using this site for anything more than spying on it and making fake DMCA claims.
-
@rnd256 By the way, there is zero protection given to gay porn because it is considered to be obscene. There has never been a successful copyright claim made on a gay porn video. Many decades ago, there was a successful claim made on a COLT gay video, but that was because the video contained MUSIC that had a legitimate copyright on it. That is why you don't hear commercial music in porn movies, nor in live webcam shows.

@eobox91103 I think you need to stop shitting on my posts, and sending me inane private comments.
-
This thread began with a very simple question about gaytorrent user title colors. Midway, it was hijacked by a rambling and inaccurate diatribe about takedowns.
I thought this was a topic that is highly discouraged for discussion. Which begs the question, why is this person allowed to continue posting in this manner?
And, as a "bump" of sorts, it was suggested several posts back that the thread had run its course. Does someone have the key for this lock?
-
For the record, @lololulu19 sent me a PM saying
what legal issues/actions? I have seen ZERO legal issues/actions
To which I responded,
I've never seen a leopard. That doesn't mean they don't exist.
I don't think I'm the one being inane.
