What are the criteria for being trusted? You seem to be a lot less choosy than nyaa.se was. That's good because that just turned into a far too biased system.
I look at a few things when giving out trusted status.
- If you have uploaded a significant amount of well seeded and downloaded torrents to AniDex (>100).
- If you have been a member of AniDex for at least 2 weeks.
- These torrents should be correctly categorised and tagged (as appropriate).
- No one has reported you for uploading "bad" torrents (troll/mislabeled content etc).
Of course this is a completely objective system, therefore none of the bias exists, lol.
So far I have only been applying these to users who upload torrents which can't be classified into the Authorised system because they aren't in Groups (basically JAV and hentai uploaders)
I'll start having a look at other users soon.
