Hello, just saw the TorrentFreak article about temporary close of registrations : https://torrentfreak.com/pirate-bay-clos...od-190606/.
I have 2 suggestions why don't you limit number of uploaded torrents for new users to max 10-15 torrents for example.
And for those users already registered who are not verified to ask a new mail confirmation/ or password reset as protection .

That's exactly what we've done. TPB has always had floods of malware torrents but recently, the numbers have been staggering, so the crew asked Winston (the TPB Admin) to implement a limit to the number of torrents a new user can upload. He closed registrations, and we can only hope he's working on some magic to fix this so we can stop the huge floods of crap once and for all.

TPB doesn't have verified status. Anyone with an account is free to upload to the site, no status required, and I don't see that policy ever changing.

Same here. It'll be good to see newly registered uploaders sharing good content again, and as soon as regs do open, we'll let people here know about it.

Hi,
One month registration close but spam is still same.
Please suggest to Winston (the TPB Admin) some ideas:
A password reset for all existing account with email recover ,will solve the problem with this faker. He got hundred of account stolen from users but he does not own the emails to recover them.
Also you can limit for all users to upload maximum 20 torrents per day for example...(except Trusted /VIP users).
You can set captcha too.

I understand they closed registrations because of too much flood of malware torrents. But I don't understand why new torrents uploaded by new unknown users are available immediately after uploading and the mods remove them after some time (hours). I'm sure many unexperienced users download their torrents during that time.
Perhaps it would be better to have new torrents in some waiting state for approval and publish them after checking the content. The uploaders realize that their fakes will not be published any more and most of them will stop doing it. The flood of fakes can be easily recognized within seconds and removed without ever being published to the world.

Stopping the recordings was not equal to stopping spam .... spam is the same. The same person uploads 20-30 accounts every day with 30 pages per account.

These accounts were registered before registrations have been closed? The waiting state would not solve the problem? Also captcha can be used, but own captcha without being dependent on 3rd parties like google.
