Thread: Competition Rules clarification

The rules sticky in the competition invites section states: All competitions must be held with no commercial gain to the holder.

Is it a commercial gain for me to get access to a file(s)?

Is a competition in search of / requesting a specific torrent seed allowed? Say I really want Soylent Green in DVD5 but I can't find it at any of my trackers. Can I say first person to upload a torrent to demonoid (or other semi-private) gets an invite to PTP?



Yes I could put it in a request thread on my favorite tracker...but why not make it the basis for giving away an invite? People could search their movie collections or torrent sites that they are a member of and I'm not. At least this way I'd know that the potential invitee knows how to upload a torrent and contribute to the community.

Just a thought, but wanted to ask since I haven't seen any other competitions along those lines.

Yeah could do that, no one has done it though yet to my knowledge. As long as you aren't benefitting from it financially it ought to be fine.
