• Use the T-I Image Dump to host your screen captures. New reviews with screen captures hosted from other image hosts will be deleted.

• Reviews must include screenshots of the tracker. Be sure to cover all of your account information (usernames, up/down/ratio stats, emails, etc).

• If multiple reviews are submitted for the same tracker, the most detailed and comprehensive review will be selected and the rest will be closed. Avoid submitting another review within the same year if one already exists unless there has been a complete overhaul to the tracker or links to the screen captures are dead. Additional rules and minor changes should be quoted as a new post within the same review thread.

• If you would like to submit a review but would rather remain anonymous, you can either post the review and message a supermod+ to change the post owner to Anonymous or PM the review to a staff member to have him post it. If the review is acceptable, you will still receive the bonus credits.

• Only reviews should be posted in this section. General questions belong in the [Help] or [Bittorrent Discussion] forums.

• No spam! This includes comments like "great review" and "I can't wait to get an invite." Use the Like / Rep buttons if you want to express your appreciation.

• Only reply if you have something substantial to contribute. Short replies like "one of my favorites" or "great tracker" are not welcome and will result in an infraction and/or deletion of your post. Always provide a detailed explanation why you like or dislike a tracker.
