Browsing the forum as it is at the moment is just... Not worth it. It's too annoying. Each 30 seconds connection is lost, then you're randomly kicked out and have to login again but each time this happen there's an unnecessary captcha to make things even more annoying.

I really want to browse the forum, there's lots of interesting stuff but I guess people won't have this bs for much longer. Just close it already until it's fixed or at least revert it back to the old one. If it's so hard to fix make another one, I'm sure there are lots of people here who would gladly help with that, myself included.

@lololulu19 You cannot freeleech a recently uploaded torrent to prevent bottlenecking the upload speed for the original seeder and the first leechers. Freeleeching creates a demand that could end up killing the torrent because no one can download it or just give up because of the absurdly low speeds.

@Ratselblitz Anything you have downloaded will show up in your details & stats: https://www.gaytorrent.ru/userdetails.php

In the bottom of the screen there'll be a list with all completed torrents. It'll only show torrent's that you've downloaded fully.

Meaning if you selected only a few files from a given torrent, it'll not ever compute as completed and would count as leeching for as long as it's active in the torrent client, so in your case these torrents would just disappear.

@john32123666 To me this looks like the site's got to a certain level of popularity that makes it really hard to moderate. Meaning lots of members who are completely unaware of the ratio system, others who notice it and start to mass upload junk files, re-encodings, "enhanced" versions, random software, etc...

I feel like the site needs some quality of life changes if it really wants to keep things under control. Personally, there are a few things I'd consider:

1 - New members who joined via invitation codes should have their account linked to the inviters, every time they reach gracetime or suffer any penality, some penality is applied to them as well. This will make people think twice before inviting random people and instead make them invite people they trust.

2 - New members who have uploaded torrents and received low ratings should get a warning about the content quality, followed by having their upload permission revoked in case of second offense.

3- New members should be unable to delete their own torrents before 24 hours after it's listed, instead such content should be flagged to be reviewed by the moderation. This is to prevent torrents being deleted just to be uploaded again in a very disheveled way of "bumping".

@yepyep7891 any word from any language is susceptible to semantic change. The meaning of words is not something fixed and unchangeable, the speakers are the ones in charge of this semantic evolution. The reason why specific words suffer specific changes are not always traceable, so it's somewhat debatable most of the times, but once that change happens, it cannot be artificially reversed. You cannot prevent people from using specific words, let alone allow words only with a specific significance.

The perception people have on the meaning of words is cultural, it can vary geographically, among different social classes, age, religion, and so on. You can perceive "boy" strictly as a male child, that doesn't mean that's the only nor the truest meaning of that word. Not only in english but in most languages "boy" or "menino" from portuguese, or "chico" from spanish, they refer to any young male. While "child" has a strict age span, "young" does not.

I shouldn't even have to be saying any of it, you just need to get out of your room and listen to people as they use the word boy to people much older than 18 years. You might don't like it, but there's nothing intrinsically wrong with it. And the most important, you can rest assured that 100% of the times you see the word boy in here, it will NOT be a child.

@coolukdude-0 Running a website like this with thousands of members, trackers, a forum, etc.. It's very expensive. They can afford the costs with member donations. And even though it's expensive to maintain, it's free to access and enjoy.

The ammount of people complaining, let alone the reasons they have to stay or leave the site, are not going to get things fixed faster, it only feels entitled.

Not only this is the biggest gay torrent website, it's been here for many years, people come in a much faster pace than they leave.

Not related or useful at all, I just want to say it. Who came up with this genious idea that a duplicate is not a duplicate if it's dead? It's literally the same file, it could be "revived" at any given moment and, by being such an old post (both duplicate and original) it would likely go unnoticed forever. It is a duplicate, if the rule says it's not then the rule is wrong and must be changed.

Agreed. Same case as the so called rape fantasy where the OP is either aware of the illegal nature of the material or is just taking something that's legal and consensual, and just uploading it under a fetishized title. And don't even try the kinkshaming card on me... There are very few things you can't just say "it's just fantasy, it's no harm" and one of them is non-consensual pornography.

I think people relly too much on the fact that this is a closed community to believe the law from the outter world wouldn't make it's way into them.

yet again with his copyright bullshit

@frostycab the uploader's identity is anonymous to all users, only mods can see their names and uploads. Regarding to quick DMCA take downs, there are bots that constantly scrape recent uploads and looks for pictures and keywords and automatically issue notices via email. Those emails contain the link to the alleged copyrighted torrent as well as a link to its official release channel, when possible. That's all it takes for a notice to be issued. Some copyrighted content are no longer available through official channels, so they can no longer be purchased or rented, but they're still protected by DMCA.

You don't need to be the copyright owner to issue take down requests, you can act on their behalf through service contract OR have the distribution rights to the specified content.

GayTorrent actively requires all DMCA requests to be signed by the copyright owner and law firms must provide a copy or scan of their agreements signed by the copyright owner.

They closed registrations quite recently, I doubt they'll be reopening any time soon tbh

@Varrtan007 quick question, did you find this picture somewhere on the internet or is it a screenshot you took yourself from a video?

@ludenner Twitter and Telegram. There's not much you can do to promote porn tbh... You just have to upload your content and expect it to be good enough for people to start spreading it to others and other platforms. Just make sure to have some kind of watermark pointing to where to find your content, can't be to discreet or it might get blurred out from too many reencodings or just straight out removed by someone.

@ludenner If it's not you in the torrents, then it is subject to DMCA enforcement. Not being a professional doesn't mean you're not in the right to have your content protected from piracy. You can act on your own behalf or have a company do that for you instead.

For instance, when you join a platform as a partner, such as PornHub Community, Onlyfans, Cam4 and so on, they are entitled to act on your behalf regarding to DMCA enforcement, and they have various companies specialized in the matter doing it on their behalf.

You might find amateur and even professional videos on platforms such as pornhub, xvideos, xhamster, etc. Try downloading such videos and upload them in here... You'll see that some of it will get deleted real quick. Those sites have different agreements with various of those distributors that allow them to have copyrighted material legally by paying royalties based on viewership.

Long story short, there's nothing YOU can do. What GayTorrent can do (and it does) is require that filed DMCA complaints prove a torrent is copyrighted and that they are in fact entitled to act on the copyright owner's behalf.

And a friendly reminder: If you have so many of your torrents deleted due to DMCA you will be restricted from uploading anything for 3 months, be careful.

My guess is Dmitri

Intriguing story, I'll be subscribing for a followup

correction, not all torrents. Only torrents using https.

Currently all my torrents that have the mentioned tracker address are facing certificate errors.

I'll go with the dude who said he's ugly. He looks exactly like any broke white american guy, which explains why it's so important for his career to have people rumoring about his dick.

@rick71142 Those are Raz-B's, different rapper, different ethnicity and the pics are almost 10 years old
