If that lemmy user was found out to have invited someone they didn't know, from a random website like lemme, then they would be banned and everyone they've ever invited would as well.

Other than being invited by someone who is already on the site and you know personally the standard way is to do the interview process. The interview is mostly questions about music quality and music files and serve to make sure that you can read and apply that knowledge so that they don't have to moderate as much if you try to upload shitty rips of music on the site.

I agree. But, I believe it's more for ban avoidance and invite sellers than anything.

Make sure your users can read and actually internalize it. Should help with moderation lol

I've been on red for over 7 years now. It's one of the best resources for music on the internet. Calling members "nobodies" for defending a community we care about is pretty lame.

I understand being skeptical about requiring the use of home internet to connect to the site. But, it's kind of a requirement to keep people from avoiding bans, using accounts with stolen credentials, or selling invites (big problem).

People selling invites and ban avoidance is why they do this. I was sketched out when I first had to do this like 7 years ago and I can tell you I don't regret it for a minute. RED has an invites forum that will get you invites to some of the best trackers out there.

In my experience, almost all of the private trackers worth joining require you to connect to the site with your home IP. But, you can use your torrent client through a VPN. So the other users don't see your home address.

I understand the caution. But, if it scares you away from joining you will be missing out.

Not the really good ones tbh though. Show me a music tracker without this rule with even 1/3 of its content.

It's a slang term used as a verb usually. To mald is to be mad. He was calling them mad.

It didn't have denuvo :)

The whole point of using a seedbox is so that you don't have to use a VPN (well, and speed). You probably shouldn't use a seedbox with public trackers though. Some seedboxes will drop you from their service if they get a copyright request.

I click install. No setup really

Ah, I had the numbers backwards. Is L1 heavily in-use?

Plex for games. That's how I'm reading this. The advantage to me being that when I have a LAN party I can say "Grab Quake 3 from this URL" instead of "grab Quake 3 from this network folder". Not a huge thing. But it might help not over sharing.
