These are standard rules for private trackers, they are essentially little kingdoms that compete who has the most insanely idiotic requirements. Any sane person should avoid them at any cost, they are antithetical to what sharing actually should be.

    They're usually a lot more trustworthy, better community contributions, and better ratios to help others, hence the seeding requirement. It's a sort of accountability to sharing. There are also those who abuse the rules..

    A few smaller sites are a bit goofy, I'll agree, but at least 2 bigger ones are non issues.

    If you think that requiring interviews over voice chat with multiple random people that ask dumb questions like where do you live and what you do for living and laugh at your accent, sorry that's not goofy that's bordering on abuse and not accountability. In addition to not having anything to do with filesharing. Private trackers are making filesharing worse, there is nothing that makes them more trustworthy.

    Which tracker was this? I've been on private trackers for years and never once had to go on a voice chat, definitely not with MAM.
