New User FAQ

To addrеss somе recսrring things wе've been seeing, we'll post some FAQ's һere from time to time. Obviously, if you haven't noticed, we're going through some growing pains, so we thank you for your patience as the small number of us work through load issues, respond to questions, or just have the occasional mild panic attack and step away for a few hours!

Auto-reported torrents - we have a very trimmed-down set of fields and flags for each torrent; sometimes the auto-parser (which we continually attempt to improve) misses things, and we just want staff to verify. A report isn't a punishment; it's just a way of identifying something to be double-checked. This should have no effect on announces / tracker behavior, but if it does, please let us know.
Shout mirroring to IRC has been (possibly temporarily) moved to #ant-shout. Knock into it the same way you get into #ant. We're exploring two-way functionality in the future.
There is a LOT of activity going on in shout / forums / irc. We try to monitor and we're super-grateful to current members helping each other out. KZ (our dev) is primarily watching the Suggestions & Bugs forums. If you have a question that doesn't get answered in the Shoutbox or IRC, feel free to ask in an appropriate forum, like Help.
