I asked a question about which site has a show I like. Later I noticed it's in the rules not to do so. I don't see how that rule benefits anyone on this planet. Please explain yourselves...

What rule did you break? You cannot request torrents, or torrent links, but can request the name or URL of the homepage of a website that indexes the torrent.
I think what you were asking for (a url to a site) would be okay but my guess is that the person who trashed your thread thought it was a request for to a link...
I'll move it back though as long as it doesn't break any rules.

In the BitTorrent section it says:
"Do not ask for torrentwebsites where you can download certain files."
This makes NO sense what so ever, and when I asked anyway, some guy PMed me saying you're not allowed to.
edit: thanks!!
This is getting confused...guess we have to read the instructions all over again...
someone should put out a torrent of the rules.tor
lol :lol:Quote:

If u post a link for a pay product like a torrent site its not allowed. But people don't download anything else than movies or other stuff that sells. I don't know why u ain't braking the rules if u ask for such things, nobody deletes such posts.
Or can i post a link to a torrent site but i can't post a link thats on torrent site lol ?
I have no clue what that means.:huh:Quote:

It's quite simple.
You can request or post a link to a particular torrent site, but only a general link. It's ok to discuss how a site operates but not it's content (except in a general sense like "it's got lots of divx movies").
You can't request or post what torrent sites have which files, because that's asking for/advertising copyright material.
Remember that some sites don't want to be openly discussed on the net, so if you directly refer to such sites your post will be edited or deleted.
We will if we spot them, but we can't be expected to check every thread.Quote:

You'll find quite a few references to these sites in our Bittorrentforum.Quote:

i think that it is the rules
If you phrase it like that then it is ok, because you aren't specifically asking for copyrighted content.Quote:
