Trackers connected to each other v2
I've had to link to the following posts many times, both in public and in private, so I thought I'd create this thread to offer a unified reference.

3. trackers that are not part of the cabal and are in bad terms with them due to drama...
4. private, semi-private and public sites that don't fit in any of the above and don't share information...
I suppose your "mediocre 3rd world tracker" falls into either group 3 or 4, but we can't know if you don't name it.

and does any of the az(avistaz.cinemaz,animaz/ant/phd) trackers have cabal connection? if not cheating there will be ease ;)

I'm not familiar with those, but please keep in mind that "cabal status" does not correlate to cheating difficulty. It only affects the
consequences for getting caught cheating.
It does not correlate to quality either. I find all cabal trackers besides RED overrated, and consider IPT to be top-notch despite the drama.

If you want to avoid global bans, you can keep your identity and details on every account completely different and isolated as per
https://www.sb-innovation.de/showthread.php?t=19023, but that precludes using more than one tracker at the same time (from the same IPs) or applying on recruitment threads. I would add "or you could simply not break any tracker rules", but I've seen my fair share of innocent people getting banned for mere nickname matches.
For practicality and convenience, I propose the following ranking system as per the quotes above.
- Tier 1: the cabal (RED, BTN, PTP and HDBits). Guaranteed to share information about bans.
- Tier 2: trackers that aren't part of the cabal but are in good terms with them. Likely to share. Examples: GGn, Bibliotik, RevTT, KG.
- Tier 2.5: an intermediate status between 2 and 3. Not in the cabal and in neutral terms with it. Unlikely to share. Examples: OPS, TL.
- Tier 3: trackers that aren't part of the cabal and are in bad terms with it. Not known to share. Examples: the IPT family, HD-Torrents.
- Tier 4: unaffiliated and/or independent trackers. Not known to share. Examples: MAM, OppaiTime, almost anything with a non-English speaking audience, anything semi-public or public.
Feel free to post your experience here. Keep in mind that not all staff check their little database often, and fallout from information sharing is known to extend for up to one month after the initial ban(s).
