I see
these rules, but the numbers you mentioned don't jive. Is there another set of rules you're referring to?
Either way, it's clear that posting links to the torrents violates the rules. And I suppose I can understand why people who didn't bother to investigate could find it shady or out of the ordinary. However, I don't understand why you think the site violates users' privacy. And I'm still hoping user input will be solicited on the matter.
Or maybe something like this could be considered:
Links are allowed in game thread OP only and go to a special redirect page with a warning about your suspicions regarding privacy. It could even be a second redirect page in addition to the standard one, provided there was a way to disable it.
I understand that nothing is gonna happen until admin weighs in, I just hope the input offered here is taken into consideration when that happens.
