Previous Thread >Not sure what private trackers are all about? The mission of /ptg/ is to promote the highest possible standards of tracker service by providing members with opportunities for professional development, by recognizing technical competence through examinations and by advancing the interests of its members.
Remember the following: >Staff read & post in these generals. >This is a thread for educational purposes only. Don't offer or ask for invites. >Staff may pretend to be normal users asking for invites and when you invite them, they ban you for inviting strangers.

Make every FLAC upload require a picture proof with timestamps that you own the cd and ripped it yourself.
Angel Jones
Genital pics alongside the CD will likely be the future requirement in determining possession of the album.
Alexander Brooks
Why don't we require lineage for encodes? How am I supposed to know if this is actually a bluray or not?

RIP EAC 2000-2017 EAC spent its whole life ripping - now RIP EAC.
This was going to be a blog post but EAC deserves at least an announcement…
The EAC verification method is outdated and compromised. Malicious users can append valid checksums to tampered logfiles. Unfortunately, this technique is already being exploiting across other trackers. We sincerely hope our members have enough sense to not attempt to modify log files as it will result in a permanent ban. We hope our users have accumulated enough buffer through the freeleeches and uploads without having to resort to the method described above. We do not believe our users would waste their time attempting to modify logs to gain buffer. We believe our community is just as dedicated to quality control as our staff.
The typical scenario of how this technique is used: a 0.99 is spoofed to look like a 1.0 with an appropriately generated checksum passing the logchecker as 100% verified. This does not mean they are transcodes, it simply means we can no longer verify the authenticity of any EAC Log (XLD is fine for now) but we trust you to make NWCD a treasure of correct metadata especially with our new release lineage feature.
EAC is still an option at this time for uploading as we trust our userbase to not forge logs.
All unverified torrents are currently NOT trumpable and we will let the community know when the trumping will begin. We are implementing our solution in the next FLAC FIRST milestone - more on this to come soon. The verification system has run through all the old logs and is instantly verifying all new uploads.

so how do NWCD invites work? Recruiter -> Referral -> Interview?
Ayden Green
So what I have to do is download a ton of music torrents over the course of a month to gain their trust? I have to keep doing this up the food chain so I can get invited to the game tracker site? I suppose this really throws off those copyright assholes.
William White
First you need to get into RED ('study' for the interview - it's not hard, most of it is easy to understand, and the site explains everything perfectly well, so it'll maybe take an hour or two to study then another hour to answer the interview) To get your GGn invite from there, the only requirements are: Requirements - Been here at least 2 weeks, has uploaded at least 5 torrents and 25 GB, ratio above 1.05. Which is extremely easy for anyone who knows what they're doing but as a new user it might take you more time
Ian Parker
It's more about uploading. I don't know how much you know about torrents from public sites, but you want to always be seeding torrents that are commonly downloaded. On the music site, it's kind of tough to work your way up right now. The other route user mentioned, MaM to TC to GGn, requires more time but less effort.

I guess I did good to focus some of my effort into NWCD.
Noah Johnson
Good alternatives to BTN and PTP?
Ryder Richardson
Based NWCD.

You were right, I feel bamboozled
Tyler Bennett

going higher up than both - HDB same for movies, worse for TV - AHD going lower down: for movies - TehC, x264 for TV - MTV, TvT/freshon, TtN
also lower, and more general trackers - pixelhd, ipt, scc, bB, etc.
Daniel Gonzalez
HDB or did you mean lesser alternatives
David Robinson
The more I read about this, the more autistic the staff members seem. You can't say anything confrontational to any of them and they get to know you completely because interviews take that long right? That means you can only have one account your whole life unless you're really good at lying.
Brandon Roberts
Nobody knows you on a personal level. Staff know your IP, email address, and whether or not you are technically capable or not of being on a tracker through the interview. It's not a personal interview. You only need one account anyway - accounts are easy to maintain and the only chance of getting banned is through sheer autism like invite trading or ratio cheating
Ayden Lewis
>Autistic staff Most places, yeah. Especially RED. >Can't say anything confrontational Pretty much >They get to know you No, you answer yes/no A/B >One account your whole life Yeah but you have to go out of your way to lose it
Jordan Thompson
Sounds like neogaf registration buy harsher.
Daniel Rivera
Starting with Red has a very good chance of putting you off of trying to get into trackers.
Benjamin Baker
if eac is so shit, why don't we move to one of the other rippers that can't be fucked with?

Zed's best attempt trying to put the fear of god into users with FUD. As long as someone is not an idiot when editing logs, the edited log would be indistinguishable from a legit log.

is kyle demonotaku
why is ptg still talking about him, didnt he just shit talk PTH on reddit or something?
Chase Turner
He's been a meme on ptg for like 4 months now.
Dylan Bailey
/ptg/ is super tsundere for demonotaku
Brandon Scott
/ptg/ is stagnant and can't move on, what else is new? TARS is still in the wiki for g*d's sake
Noah Morales
it's a really boring time for private trackers, I miss some good drama
Aaron Nelson
NWCD's only mistake was being too slow in getting the engine running after WCD's demise. RED's staff haven't got a clue how to run a tracker. Can someone copy and paste all of RED's torrents to NWCD?
Cooper Perez
What happens here? I don't see IDs, what happens with samefagging and so forth? You guys make money out of the tracker business?
Camden Sanders
>NWCD still not recruiting anywhere Nothing but empty promises
Aaron Fisher
to be fair, what.cd going down was a tracker drama gold mine. We're just going through a little withdrawal.
Carter Powell
If I wasn't on what and am only PU on RED, is there any way into notwhat? I've heard they have interviews, can I take that?
Just join their IRC user... They have a link to it on their page, that's how I got in.
Connor Roberts
NWCD doesnt do invites or direct recruitment. it's a referral system, not an interview like red or apollo (much much faster)
Isaac Perry
Are you? That post is exactly what I mean by empty promises, they announced that 19 days ago yet there isn't an official recruitment thread anywhere. I know they invite on their IRC.
Joseph Lee
NWCD is fucking based
If you're not on it right now you better fucking get your business together
