| Uploading rules - Torrents violating these rules may be deleted without notice |
| [*]All uploads must include a proper NFO. [*]Only scene releases. If it's not on NFOrce or grokMusiQ then forget it! [*]The stuff must not be older than seven (7) days. [*]All files must be in original format (usually 14.3 MB RARs). [*]Pre-release stuff should be labeled with an *ALPHA* or *BETA* tag. [*]Make sure not to include any serial numbers, CD keys or similar in the description (you do not need to edit the NFO!). [*]Make sure your torrents are well-seeded for at least 24 hours. [*]Do not include the release date in the torrent name. [*]Stay active! You risk being demoted if you have no active torrents. If you have something interesting that somehow violate these rules (e.g. not ISO format), ask a mod and we might make an exception. |
