Are any of these services trusted? Would a private tracker lock your account as soon as they figure out you bought your way in?
And can anybody vouch for or against [redacted]?
Edit: pretty sure the site I asked about is a scammer so I removed it so nobody goes there. I had completely misspelled the tracker name when contacting them and they didn’t correct me.
I appreciate you. To me it seems silly to advocate for piracy and also place some moral line when it comes to buying access to a tracker. In some cases you just want quick access without the whole rigmarole of waiting for an opensignup or having to take a test/application.
It would be cool if I could simply pay the tracker directly to get access. Once I’m there they’ll see I keep a great ratio anyway. Maybe the seedbox angle could achieve that.
Private trackers are appealing to a lot of people because of the quality. Quality uploads, quality seeders. People who buy access haven’t shown that they possess knowledge regarding how to participate in a private tracker.
They are more likely to hit-and-run, have a bad ratio, or break other rules. They don’t have a track record to show that they probably don’t work for a record company/studio, etc. They are a burden to the volunteer staff for these reasons.
If you’re a good seeder as you’ve claimed, then working your way up shouldn’t be difficult. It just takes time and some dedication.
