On the subject of invite privileges, we’ve started to tighten the screws on some invite-related issues we’ve been experiencing on the site. Namely, those using invite-centric forums to trade and buy invites, as well as those performing giveaways (GAs) of PTP invites. As such, the invite rules have been updated to 2024 standards with regards to places you may not offer our invites, as well as some other bits added for clarity’s sake. Read the invite rules here.
To note a specific change: you may not invite “internet friends” you have only conversed with in the public eye (such as Discord servers, Telegram channels, Twitter, Reddit, and QQ groups). Doing so will get you and your invite tree banned.
If you have ever used an invite-centric site, given away/traded invites for PTP or any other reputable private trackers, or even bought an invite; now is your opportunity to come forward for the consideration of amnesty depending on how serious the offense is. Conversely, those who do not come forward now and who are caught later on will be judged much more harshly, which will likely lead to you permanently losing your account. To come forward, send a staff PM.
