And it's definately meant as a place for recruting ppl. The groups feature mails in NFO's, but they are bothered so much that was partly why this mail was created.
Then I'd be going at this a very different route. The main issue is security here -> one email, being accessed by top sceners? You're asking for it eh...
First thing you have to drop is the whole "If you're a P2P user you're banned" ethos because frankly that just a double-standard, that could be putting potentially valuable users off [as they may have seen notices against it]. Ofcourse, leaking scene material and selling scene material would still be "offenses" so to speak, but maintaining an account on TorrentLeech because they have Cams/TSs/R5s is hardly a moral crime.
With this moral dam out of the way, you need to drop the email and have active recruitment -> sceners [who are also inevitable P2P users] scouring BT site's uploaders, forums, IRC looking for potential. TheBox.bz has around 40 cappers - you telling me a few of them aren't willing to step up the game and cap for whoever? As you're trying to tackle, the problem is the ease of communication, but again this is dependant on this [IMO insecure] email being spread through the grapevine so to speak - very unreliable. You need a "team" almost, from respective areas of the scene [tv, cd, xvid] who undoubtedly know the BT equivilant inside out [Im UK, and watch regular UK scene releases, and wouldn't know about TheBox.bz if I wasn't British]. Once said team has been established, then all they have to do is just start exploring -> who are the big names on the site, and why? Are they any use to the scene?
Yes it's more work than an email. But that's my theory [coming from someone with an INTJ personality here...]
