If piracy is moral and ethical and enables us to share knowledge, why do private trackers gatekeep this knowledge? It goes against the principles of piracy. Do they do it just to feel superior about bring in a sekrit club?

    Why and how does my account’s age matter? This is pretty much the equivalent of digging a person’s old tweets to find dirt about them.

      Yes, it is like that if the lack of tweets indicated that you might be hiding something. It sucks if you never participated before, but the idea is that they want to interact with reliable accounts and time and activity are used for that since that us pretty much all they have to work with.

      It does suck, but there really isn’t a good alternate.
