I'm not 100% on this but it'd likely be browser fingerprintingI don't disagree with any of this, I'm just suggesting something that could potentially get you around the rules if nothing else is an option. With regards to 1., no data other than that the user has visited rpdl.net should be sent right? It's not the worst thing. Again this is not ideal, just an attempt at a middle-ground.

I'd guess google captcha does more but honestly, I can't say for sure.
It's possible, but first we'd need to actually track when passkeys are used. Ha.Perhaps passkeys generated with this method could be scrubbed after 48 hours of not being used? Passkeys tied to accounts could also be scrubbed, after a longer period probably, and regenerated if the user logs back into their account at a later date. This would help keep the db a bit more clean.
Not sure if even with this it would be feasible to generate this many passkeys though.
I do appreciate the brainstorming by the way, but honestly if I was pressed for an answer right now, I'd rather not offer the torrents here than offer them with a captcha where it'll just annoy people.
Even if Admins do decide on a "no" again now, i can always ask again towards the end of 2022 and maybe they'll be more open to it when they see we're stable and not going anywhere. It's been a few months already, another 6-7 won't make a difference.
Big thing for us is we'll just have a clear answer so we can plan ahead.
