Why someone keep complaining about Take Down issues ...

Because someone wants attention

Are you not aware of legal issues/action

No, he's not.

@MrMazda said in user title:

Auto upload is something we used to have ... 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.

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."

@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.

@nix54 said in CDC Warns of Dangerous Fungal Infection Spreading Through US at ‘Alarming Rate’:

Though who could disagree that "there is some fungus amongst us".

A while back I had jock friend name Gus (short for Agostino) who was a lot of fun, so one time I called him FunGus. He looked at me with a wry frown, and said, "would you like me to kick you with my athlete's foot?"

@Bdone Search YouTube for "Evilenko" and there are several hits for trailers and the full film in various languages. You can watch it there, or use an application like "Viddly YouTube Downloader" to download a good copy to your computer.

I also searched on "Evilenko soundtrack" and found some nice audio. If you watch the film, please let us know if you liked it.

I'm not pretty much active here anymore as my forum profile is still broken. Hence, credits would only go to a temporary one.

I remember reading about the Rotron/Rotron-0 thing...quite mysterious. But I hope you continue to add value to the Forum, even if you don't get "credit" for it (and I don't know if the system is still wired up that way). I'm sure that I speak for many when I say that your insight and politeness is very much appreciated.

Another worthless contribution.

You are more proficient at those than I am.

@blablarg18 Here's an interesting exercise: In the browser search box, type in "you" as a search term, and see how many times it gets highlighted in various messages. I use Firefox, and it gives me the following:

When a post is primarily about another person, and not about the issues, it's off-topic, and probably worthless.

I recommend to the Forum Administrator that this thread be locked, and perhaps deleted.

@blablarg18 said in covid vaxx don't stop covid, says NY Supreme Court:

there's another forum board for doing that.

I absolutely agree! That other board is filled with lies and misinformation.

@blablarg18 That other board is also the only place where it is permitted--even encouraged--to insult people. It doesn't belong here.

The argument ad hominem (literally, "to the man"), such as name-calling or insulting, is the weakest form of discourse. It is the ultimate refuge for those devoid of fact, reason, or intelligence.

@blablarg18 If you want to call people liars, spread conspiracy theories, or espouse "alternative facts," there's another forum board for doing that.

@cinemacapman said in covid vaxx don't stop covid, says NY Supreme Court:

no vaccine whether it's COVID or flu, etc., prevents you from catching it or getting sick. No vaccine actually kills a virus. It prevents you from becoming seriously ill, hospitilization, or dying. Your body's immune system eventually wears down the virus. You actually just naturally heal yourself. They've been saying this for a long time, and people still are stubborn about accepting what the COVID vaccine actually does. Yes, you can still catch and transmit the virus. The vaccine simply protects you and your health.

This is the medical fact, and that's what belongs in a Health and Fitness forum thread.

If you want to call people liars, spread conspiracy theories, or espouse "alternative facts," there's another forum board for doing that.

@stophe In both the US and France, people cruise on the right. In the UK, Australia, and Japan, they cruise on the left.

This doesn't stop feces from being posted, but at least you won't need to smell them.

@lololulu19 said in Be careful which categories you exclude:

half Chinese / half Jewish

Such an incoherent description.

I have a friend in Shanghai who is 100% Chinese and 100% Jewish. Does that mean he's two people?

There's a lot that can be (and has been) said, but @frostycab's admonition to avoid this stuff like the plague is very good advice.

Rather than write a long essay here (which is always my temptation), let me propose a few factoids:

• A website's certification that "all our models are 18+" isn't reliable. Websites are in the business of selling content, and these statements can be nothing more than marketing devices.

• mike18.com can be found on the internet archive "wayback machine," with listings starting in 2005 and ending last year. I don't have any information on why the website disappeared, but if "Mike" was 18 in 2005, he'd be 36 now, and not likely to be featured in that site's content.

• If one's computer is searched by law enforcement, and questionable material is found, it is not a defence to claim that one relied on a website's certification. While it is not possible to determine whether a model is 18 or 16 simply by looking at a photograph or video, police officers tend to be cautious and do an arrest if they have "probable cause" to believe that some material might feature under-age models.

• While the maxim of the law in first-world western countries is that a person is presumed innocent of criminal charge until found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law, in practice it doesn't work that way for child abuse, child pornography, or drink-driving. In those kinds of cases, even well-intentioned and well-informed jurors will presume guilt unless there is a proof of innocence. It isn't supposed to work that way, but this is what tends to happen.

• It is ultimately each person's responsibility to curate their own porn collection to eliminate the possibility of under-age material. There is material on this site--and many others--that I would not be comfortable keeping on my computer. That is not a criticism of this site--it's just a different perspective. Other torrent and tube sites have a variety of approaches to this topic. One torrent that I know site will only list material from Very Big Studios that have too much money at stake to risk using under-age models. I also recall a tube site hosting material, mostly home-made, that is often very questionable. I don't know where they're located or how they stay afloat.

• The bottom line, though, is not, "how do I stay out of jail?" Our concern should be "how do I not exploit young boys/men?" A 15-year-old who is paid a few dollars/pounds/euros to wank on camera might look like he is giving consent to the act, but he isn't able, at that age, to fully appreciate the consequences of his actions. He is being exploited for profit and/or gratification. Even though we might not be holding the camera or paying money to view that performance, we are still participating in the exploitation.

OK, I confess to having written a long essay despite my stated intention otherwise. But these are important issues that need our careful attention.
