Rare footage of OP deciding where to post:
@flozen The really odd thing is that half the time they need to be moved twice because they get moved to the wrong place. After all, there's a whole forum entitled Jokes & Funny Stuff, though in this case I agree that this post wouldn't fit there either.
@hikariluan-0 I saw that comment, and it was totally out of line. If you've got a problem with another comment then I suggest you report it to the mods rather than fire thinly-veiled accusations at other members. In fact, that exactly what I did, asking the mods to have a look at the thread and step in if they felt it necessary. Apparently they decided it was necessary,
@lololulu19 If you've taken a course in statistics then I suggest you ask for your money back.
Also, since an IQ of 100 is by definition the average IQ I think you may need to reassess your moron assertion, particularly as that particular label hasn't been used in reference to the IQ scale in decades. When it was still used it referred to an IQ of between 51 and 70. Now I'm actually quite keen to know what IQ you think someone needs to have in order to be considered functional in modern society.
Yep. My impression is that over the years files get moved around between so many different people on various sites that it's like a huge game of Chinese Whispers, and eventually you end up with files with names that bear nothing in common with their release titles.
Like I said, the idea is most definitely NOT to find a way around uploading duplicates. I'm becoming quite adept at recognising random uploads here that I've seen before and report them if I can verify that they're dupes. I just thing that if people can take a couple of minutes to research their uploads and name them properly before adding them to the site it would go some way to making things better for all users, even as the file propagates through other sites later on. Its so frustrating to see relatively new scenes uploaded with random titles when the real information is so easy to find.
@lololulu19 You do understand that taste is a thing, right? You're not suggesting that because you don't like those vids that they are no good, are you? Kudos to you though for watching each and every one of those all the way through so that you could definitively say there isn't a good one in the whole bunch.

@ this moment this 1 star troll is targetting str8 content and commenting non-sense w/o any reason ...
Hmm, a troll who hates seeing women on the site who also talks utter nonsense? Hang on a minute! I seem to remember there's someone matching that description who's quite active in the forums. If only I could remember their name.... LMAO
@lololulu19 No idea, but I do find myself wondering why we keep getting random shit posted to irrelevant sub-forums

if there is no USA copyright, then there is no copyright.
Wow....
(Sorry about the late response, but I had to nip down to the doctor. He told me I'd strained my eyes by rolling them too hard.

"How common is getting cheated by streamers?"
Very
"I don't want to nag him, but it is getting quite frustrating."
Duh
"It hurts me when I try to help someone, who rejects my help."
You're not "helping" anyone. Charity is helping people. Paying for a service is business.
"It is often painful to watch streamers."
Then don't.
Just in case you actually never heard the expression before, a fool and his money are soon parted. You've complained about this sort of thing numerous times in the past, yet you still partake. Either you're a fool, or you have the financial means that make it not really matter, or both. It's 2023, and the whole "I gave a stranger on the internet money and didn't get anything in return" shtick on the whole is getting a bit old. I don't understand how we can be at this point without everyone being a bit more aware and just owning their mistakes.
"Political bullshit reasons" and "woketard crap" seem like odd excuses for not knowing how to work da magic box wiv pikchures and werds on it.
Casey Tanner died about 2 weeks ago apparently after suffering with long-term health conditions culminating in pneumonia. https://str8upgayporn.com/rip-former-gay-porn-star-casey-tanner-has-died/
Kyle Ross was killed in a solo car accident over the weekend. https://twitter.com/HelixStudios/status/1651070505645137922
I'm sure both will be sorely missed by their fans. Condolences to their loved ones and their friends.
Another 10 uploads using the same pics appeared earlier today. 
@unclepain All request were banned quite a while ago now. Check the rules page for confirmation.
@OKCancel said in Using Thumbnail maker for large torrents:
so long as individual frames are not too small.
This x1000!!!! So many people create thumbnails that are tiny and/or have stupid orientations. When I've made them in the past I tend to prefer 6 tiles wide by 5 vertically, with an individual tile width of 300px. For a full length film you'll get a frame roughly every 5 minutes that large enough to see properly.
Also, please don't start copying some users here who simply upload a screengrab of their Windows folder. Yeah, it shows you the filenames and a small thumbnail for each one, but more often than not it's of no help whatsoever.
An an example, compare this: https://www.gaytor.rent/details.php?id=de2fba89f5e75b5331aab4170a5875fbc54131c11dcf7d9d

@lololulu19 Correct me if I'm wrong, but that was you complaining about there being straight content on the site recently, wasn't it?
@lololulu19 said in If I was the director...:
With the population of the planet growing out of control exponentially, they should now make it mandatory for guys to be taught everything there is about having sex with other guys, and be distributed prostate massaging vibrators such as the "Edge"
Who is "they" and what are you on about??? You know all those Karens you see on Youtube screaming about how "the gay agenda" and how all gays are trying to force everyone else to be gay? I hate to say it, but when I read some of the things you write, such as https://community.gaytorrent.ru/topic/61572/solution-for-college-loans-and-the-military?_=1679079678903 I can see where they're coming from.
Some people aren't gay. Get over it.
@jujulette Every time somebody uploads a file and changes its name to something cryptic it utterly fucks all of us. People end up downloading things again and again believing them to be new material when in reality it's usually just an altered title or filename. It hurts ratios, takes up valuable storage space, makes things impossible to catalogue and worst of all these files propagate across multiple trackers to the point where the "real" file gets lost in the sands of time.
I'm in the process of tidying up my library, and in the last 2 days alone I've recovered over 300Gb of space across multiple drives where I've been able to identify identical files with misleading names. Some of them I've had 5 or more copies of them, all downloaded from different sites over the years.
Yes, it's annoying when files get DMCA hits, but I'd rather see a few of those disappear than end up with terabytes of rubbish. As @tnar said, if nobody can find it then what's the point of it staying here?
@davis94 This is a subject that has reared it's head several times in the forum in the past, and I have to agree that there does seem to be a lack of information for uploaders in the rules and FAQ. Ihave left comments in the past asking for mods to provide links the section of the rules that warns users of this possibility but have never had a reply.
I'm not an uploader and as such haven't fallen found of this myself, but it seems genuinely unfair to receive multiple bans in this manner. If someone is banned for something they upload this year and then get a second ban for something from 5 years ago I think that's excessive. A second ban for new uploads would still be fair as it could be said the user hasn't learned their lesson. It's not unlike getting written up at work for a mistake, and then getting written up again for making the same mistake years ago when being trained.
The very fact that you got a second strike mere days after your first ban was up does seem suspiciously coincidental though. It's almost as if the person making the DMCA claim was deliberately waiting to issue the next strike, but that's the kind of paranoid thinking probably best left to the P&D forums.
Sadly I don't see things changing anytime soon. DMCA seems like a bit of tightrope to walk, and I rather suspect that the lack of truly open discussion and accessible information pertaining to it's enforcement on the site is intended to protect the site from legal troubles. If so then I'd have to reluctantly support the decision, but it still results in bans for unlucky users which detracts from the site as a whole. Either way you put a target on your back when you upload.
As for deleting your own torrents I don't know if that would be a good thing to allow or not. I could see it being abused. However, you might be able to get the helpdesk to delete them for you, especially if you can show that certain creators are targeting their content. I'd even go so far as to suggest that when you receive a ban notification it could include a list of your past uploads and ask you if you'd like any or all of them removed to avoid further problems.
@jokuihmemies I think that's Avery Monroe
@duncanlem AKAIK they don't, but when a DMCA notice is received the site operators are probably required to take some sort of action against the individual that uploaded the file. This can happen in the background without ever divulging the member's details to the copyright owner. Perhaps it's a deal struck with the industry that stop them from bringing all they have against the site as a whole, but speculation is just pointless.
Once again, I'd say that the reason things happen the way they do is probably because they have to happen that way. Asking questions here yields no meaningful answers, and I assume that is also because it has to be that way. I'd suggest that we all just accept it and not try to delve too deep into something that is presumably there to protect both the site and its members.
@lololulu19 said in Complaint about seedbonus points:
@ianfontinell-0 if you want to see a lot less idiotic posts, just block jaroon and zuluu
as for SBP, I will send you some
To save you the effort I'll just @jaroon and @zuluu so they at least get the chance to come and see the shit-talking. After all, I think it's only fair if you're going to start attacking people here for things said in the P&D forum, which is clearly what this is.
