Rules

If you're not sure of anything, read the New Users' Guide and the rest of the FAQ before doing it. Ignorance is no excuse for getting yourself banned; I spent valuable time writing this that I could have been using to attend crazy cocaine-fueled internet celebrity parties, so we're not sympathetic to people who choose to ignore it.

• A good share ratio is required. If your ratio is below the minimum, your account may be disabled. See the FAQ to find out what the minimum is for you.
• There are restrictions in place on accounts for a reason. As such, making multiple accounts to get around these restrictions will result in all of your accounts being banned.
• A moderator's decision is final. Ignoring the word of a moderator without consulting staff will get you banned.
• Don't be an idiot. The moderators will decide whether or not you're being an idiot. If they tell you that you are, stop it.
• Don't PM staff members unless no other staff member can help you. Account problems go to the Helpdesk, and inquiries about the site should be posted in the forums. PMs in the wrong place will be ignored.

• No images larger than 800×600. Anything larger than this will be automatically resized and subject to removal.
• No double posting. Edit your last post if you have something else to add.
• Ensure all topics are made in the correct subforum; posting a topic in multiple forums is not an acceptable way of ensuring you picked the correct one. Repeatedly ignoring this rule will result in a warning.
• Read the FAQ before asking questions. Anything answered in the FAQ will be ignored.

• Avatars will be automatically resized to 150px wide.
• Avatars should be less than 300KB, unless it's worth the wait.
• Your signature should not be longer than the average length of your posts.
• Moderators may remove an avatar or signature at their discretion if they feel it is too large or otherwise unsuitable.

• Do not distribute the .torrent files you download; only registered site members are able to connect to the tracker anyway, and when you download a torrent file it embeds within it your personal site passkey, which could allow your account to be compromised.
• Conversely, any files you download here are yours to do with as you please. If you want to share something you got here somewhere else, make a new torrent for it (and don't forget to mention where you found it), but be nice and keep the filename and any NFO files intact.

Read ALL of this before posting ANY torrents. We know it's long, winding and somewhat ambiguous; if you think there's room for improvement then you'll be pleased to know we agree, and that there's a forum just for you.

If you have content which you are unsure of, check the Automatic Safe List; if your movie doesn't qualify, make a thread in the Customs & Excise forum. You do not need to check every upload with staff; since the rules are quite ambiguous, having a torrent deleted carries very little risk of receiving a warning unless you completely ignore the following section.

The moderators have the final word as to whether or not a movie is safe. All uploads are allowed or disallowed entirely at the discretion of the moderators; if something you want to upload is deemed unsafe, then you just found out what discretion means. In borderline cases, it's up to you to prove why your upload should be allowed, as the moderators shouldn't have to (and won't) give each request more than a cursory check. Make it easy for us, and we'll be much happier to let you do what you want.

Here's a few things we don't want on the tracker:

• Popular films (duh): It shouldn't even need to be mentioned, but: WE DO NOT WANT POPULAR FILMS HERE. Our definition of “popular” can be very easily seen if you look at our torrent listing or in the forums; it includes both blockbusters and 'cult classics' (such as Evil Dead, which is far too popular for this site). As a general guideline, if it's easy to find elsewhere, it's not suitable for CG.
• New releases: Anything that had its first theatrical release within the last 12 months is not allowed. This does not apply if the movie never had (and will never have) a theatrical release. As such, CAM and TS releases are not allowed, and SCR/DVDSCR releases must be clearly marked.
• TV Series: Straight-to-TV movies are allowed if they meet the other rules, but TV series and miniseries are unsafe. (If you have tv series to to upload, sign up at TV Vault our sister tracker designed especially for people like you!)
• Anime: Anime is absolutely banned, regardless of whether it fits the other rules. There are literally thousands of anime trackers; use one of those instead.
• Porn: Just because we allow movies with hardcore content doesn't mean we want stuff that exists solely for you to crack one out over. All porn will be deleted unless you clear it in Customs & Excise first.
• Real violence/Mondo/Mixtapes: Anything depicting scenes of real violence against humans or animals is unsafe. Mixtapes and mondo films are unsafe by default as many of them contain such scenes; get permission from staff before thinking about uploading one.
• Soundtracks: Original scores and soundtracks are allowed only if the film of the soundtrack meets the site rules; in the event a soundtrack of an unsafe film is really rare exceptions may be made, but you need to get permission from the staff before uploading.

• If the movie is a scene release, keep the original filename and include the .NFO file. Extract the files, don't upload it in rarred format.
• If you spot a movie you ripped which has been retagged and uploaded here, PM the uploader directly - quite frequently this is an honest mistake and the uploader will be more than happy to give you the appropriate credit. If a satisfactory resolution can't be reached, make a Helpdesk problem and a staff member will deal with it.
• As such, if you upload retagged or renamed files, your torrent may be subject to removal. Please do everything in your power to ensure your upload either retains the original tags and/or NFO, or never had any to begin with.

• Always seed your uploads until at least one person has snatched them (although that's not to say you can't seed for longer if you want).
• Do not upload movies in an archive (.rar, .zip, etc.).
• We have no minimum quality standard, but you may upload a better-quality copy of an existing upload (ask in the appropriate channels prior to uploading). At the most, there may be one DVDrip, one HD rip and one DVD-R of the same movie on the tracker at once.
• In the event that duplicates of the same movie are found on the tracker, staff will use screencaps and technical info to decide which to keep; if there is little difference, the best description wins. If one of the uploads has no caps or tech info, it loses by default.
• Do not reupload movies. If you have a movie that is on the site, only upgrades are welcome. If you have a copy that is already on the site, then seed. DO NOT REUPLOAD.
