Are there sites specifically blacklisted from GTRU?

Nothing illegal - it's just that I can't find certain content posted or it gets taken down almost immediately. Maybe there are some secret codes for studios or 1337 speak that I don't of (which I think was recently banned).

I'm pretty sure it boils down to DMCA copyright takedown requests. The site is searchable by non-members (via Google, etc.) so content owners can search for their property and demand that it be removed. Then it is.
It's not discussed by site administrators, to my understanding. They simply comply with the notice and life moves on. By not talking about it they are also not tacitly acknowledging that torrents for such items are sometimes found here.
