Flairs for anonymous uploaders
#1
Can anonymous uploaders have flairs? When an uploader gets trusted/VIP Status, do all anonymous torrents uploaded by the user get the same status?

No and no.

See: https://thepiratebay.org/search/dreamcatcher/0/5/200
"Dreamcatcher.2003.1080p.BluRay.x264-HD4U" anonymous uploader has a flair in the search results.

You're right. That's a bug, the flair should not show in the search results.

To clarify.

Flairs are a flag set by staff on member accounts.

Anonymous is a flag set by members on individual torrents.

When a torrent is flagged as anonymous, the uploader name and any flair they may have should be suppressed wherever the username/flair is displayed.

i.e. there are no "anonymous uploaders" only "anonymous torrents". And the "anonymous" torrents aren't actually anonymous--staff can always see who uploaded what.

Can we assume that the torrent uploader has a trusted flair when it appears in the search results?

Until it is fixed, and unless it's an even worse bug than I think it is, it looks like it.
