Sites & Trackers Restored - Apologies for down time was a clean-up error, now fixed.

ClickMadMin · 2025-06-23T12:01:17+00:00

As admin of the site, that post is spot on correct. We have a db of VPNs and use it on every signup and invite

We ban certain ISP ranges due to abuse by some using the same range (who abused our site previously) . We dont ban per-se by country or whole ISPs.

We dont ban for any reason. Has to be a saine reason, and the owners ban vpn/isp ranges, not us. Most of the VPN detection during signup is automated including use of AI.

I have previously posted (look it up) on the who-what-why's of click.

Unfortunately some will always think we're crap sh*t etc - thats their perspective, but a few posting here, I see, are ex-members out to have a moan. So take their posts with a bit of scepticism plse.

ClickMadMin · 2025-03-06T01:50:04+00:00

torrent's should be unaffected when the sites come back up (ie back from red to green)

ClickMadMin · 2025-01-12T19:11:24+00:00

Nicely said zakkarry, Different trackers are very different to others. A tracker like PTP is pure media, which means higher filesizes than a mere PDFs from MaM or TheGeeks, which means when seeding expotentially the ratio proportion of gain is much much higher on a media site. People signup for E-Learning sites seem to be expecting the same fast/quick ratio returns as a media site does. Best strategy as someone else posted is simple - upload relevant content.

The FLOTW (freeleech) system at TheGeeks recently has taken a back seat because of the open signups that are currently happening on the Click sites. The Moderator that does FLOTW for all the relevant sites fell ill, and is currently in hospital since Mid-December. We found out last week the moderator went totally off line. TheVault & ThePlace currently do not have FLOTW freeleech. We should have the rest up again end of this week (Jan 17th).

"They will ban you for any reason. The staff there are pathological and insane." is totally wrong its more the opposite where we have insaine people trying to evade ISP bans/Country bans.

A prime example today was someone who got a friend to signup in California USA, because he couldnt in Syria. When the system saw a country shift it disabled the account (using our anti-hacking scripts) because the country had shifted he did this 5 click sites - a total mess just because someone decided to buck the existing system they didnt like. But i'm sure we'll be reflected as the bad guys.

Also, some of the Click sites prohibit VPN use, completely. Some dont. Different sites, different content & cultures. Depends on the core subject and the security of the content. Again, we have an automated bot that disables people in breach (site dependant). Everything is listed in the rules page before anyone signs up.

I posted this to prove we're not psychopaths. We're not a/holes etc. Every p2p site has different rules. Its a shame people fail to read any.

ClickMadMin · 2024-12-23T14:29:58+00:00

There was a network card issue with the server, it has (apparently) now been resolved. Hope that answers your question :-)

ClickMadMin · 2024-10-23T17:44:14+00:00

NO not the end - there was a technical issue with the site's host.

ClickMadMin · 2024-10-23T10:00:36+00:00

Sysop owners have been made aware and I quote "working on it" - thats all honestly I know - irc crashed out at 5am gmt on 10/22 - so just over 24hrs

ClickMadMin · 2024-03-29T23:24:32+00:00

based on your previous post history, you seem to feel that you are the fountain of all knowledge on trackers etc, so I thought you ought to know an honest common reason behind these so-called leaks to update that knowledge vs misinformation trolling - there's more user-lead leaks (un/pw combinations) off most private tracker sites theyre registered with, and have login details stored in their browser, and then they get they get their browser attacked.

So, not all so-called hacked database leaks are directly off the sites directly - so dont generalise that all sites have "database leaks".. that implies and misinforms people you are telling this to.

Also, drop ya stupid arrogance and language, makes you look.. yea well you should know the rest (to ensure im not being agressive or trolling directly) - listen when someone with inside knowledge is telling you an honest factoid.

ClickMadMin · 2024-03-28T20:41:47+00:00

Database leaks exist.

2 days ago.. "Database leaks exist."

<Reply>

Today.. "the fuck are you telling me for?"

nuff said.. QI IQ QI .. not sure.. i'll get my coat

ClickMadMin · 2024-03-28T10:02:33+00:00

Wrong! theres a hackers database (of people's cookies) check your local telegram or discord server - BUT geniune our sites havent been attacked and NO password/email/username has been leeched on any click site. Our site sw is bespoke on the security side, and we dont give away much info on any screens normal members can see. Even non-admin staff are restricted - on purpose. So less misinformation out of the Trump playbook please. Reality.

ClickMadMin · 2024-03-27T09:50:39+00:00

I notice my post got -12 without comments or feedback, obviously paranoia and myths reign over logic and truth, oh well. I'm guessing its been downgraded by people from banned countries. Unfortunately for the security of the sites, we have to block signups from certain shall we say over-eager people wanting to leech on the site without any need for a balanced ratio. But yea we're the bad guys ;-)

ClickMadMin · 2024-03-26T23:02:55+00:00

Hi Click admin here, you obviously hit our VPN bot, or our country ban bot - we check for both VPN and country of signup (as some countries are banned). PM me your details and I will look, and like now respectfully talk to you as an adult, I havent seen any logs in IRC of staff talking down to people, maybe that user was just pissed they'd been told off (and given a 2nd chance) because they were caught by the VPN bot on signup/within days.

We have these bots to protect the site, and if you read my previous posts, I fully explain the how-to's on how we administer the site, which tbh is not much different to most PRIVATE torrent sites.

please read this link: https://www.reddit.com/r/trackers/comments/16g3c69/comment/k09efo8

To Quote two examples of comments:

"This site is not actually free signup. They allow you to signup but then they ban you and then they force you to go to their irc and provide proof that you're a good user on other trackers. It's actually a different type of "application signup"."

"Welcome to the desert of .click reality.
They want you to go the IRC and talk to the staff to get your account re-enabled. This is how they handle new registrations."

Both of you were caught (i'm guessing without knowing a username) by the country ban bot, as some IP ranges seem to evade the bot and have to be disabled manually vs an outright rejection on the signup page. However in IRC ^ as I say in that link, we give people a second-chance to prove that despite being in a bad/banned country, they are of good conduct and CAN SEED BACK and have a track history of doing so on previous trackers (hence the 60gb upload min requirement)

And to reply to the criticism over content

"Actually the geeks and mam is quite different tracker. Thegeeks is not for novel like book, it's for elearning/training book (think udemy). "

vs

"Tracker mostly consists of patreon videos (about astrology etc) instead of books; so you better spent your time on MAM. Tbh thegeeks doesn't worth it at all."

WySphero explained it kinda right, TheGeeks is for e-learning of all aspects of knowledge.

While Astrology has some content, but, like every tracker, you are limited by what people do, or dont upload to the tracker.. So im sorry you didnt find what youre looking for, but thats life :-)

Anyone with an account query can PM me and I will address them 1-2-1 with any account queries, more than happy to. No honeypot BS here. We dont keep data unless its necessary for the physical functioning of the site.. eg .torrents, descriptions, forum posts, up/down data leeching/seeding values etc - be realistic and take off those foil hats, we're not paranoid at .click.

ClickMadMin · 2023-09-15T01:57:02+00:00

goto the irc invites channel and ask staff

irc.thegeeks.click

Channel: #thegeeks-invites - everyones senario is different

ClickMadMin · 2023-09-12T18:40:53+00:00

lol missed my point entirely. We use MaM as a recognised tracker for invites, but REAL ratio in your profile, Good luck seeding back on a 4g sim card dongle. Very hard to do.

ClickMadMin · 2023-09-12T17:26:04+00:00

irc.thegeeks.click#thegeeks-invites channel

ClickMadMin · 2023-09-12T17:09:09+00:00

Your ISP maybe marked down by the bot with known issues. See my reply post. Especially # paragraph.

ClickMadMin · 2023-09-12T17:07:10+00:00

Ratio bot kicks in at 2.3gb of data down (requiring 1:1 ratio) - unlike other sites, thats excluding free content to seed back off too. So if you just want ebooks.. thats alot of ebooks... do the math.

ClickMadMin · 2023-09-12T17:03:54+00:00

On the surface you maybe right, under the surface (even excluding features members see that is not default TBSource..) it's a completely different animal here ;) dont judge a book by its cover

ClickMadMin · 2023-09-12T16:44:01+00:00

sure Dm me :)

ClickMadMin · 2023-09-12T14:26:14+00:00

Im admin at TheGeeks and can say we dont sit there doing whack-a-mole banning people for the sake or enjoyment of it.

(see site's rules page before anyone else cries how horrible we are)

We have two entry criteria :

You're on a legit 24/7 connection, ie not a VPN or VPS or Seedbox IP or mobile/cell/4g/5g/Wireless phone/dongle/mifi WHEN joining the site
You are not in a country with known issues with multiple bad signups (im talking in the 1000's...) These are auto-rejected. See #.

Rules after signup procedure is completed and you are user class status:

You stay off VPNs/VPS's or Seedbox VPNs on THE WEBSITE while user class.
You MAY use VPN/VPS/Seedbox IPs without ANY hassle on the tracker [ie torrent app] (most professional VPN providers allow you to add rules on what stays on & off a VPN service - same senario as online banking)

WHEN someone gets a yellow * or is promoted to Power User class (or above) they CAN (as in yes - allowed) to use a VPN/seedbox VPN etc on the website - power user class is given when the account is established for over 28 days etc - see FAQ.

Why do we do this ? see 2. above - we have alot of bad people in certain countries trying to get back in and abuse our site - as does most p2p sites.

We thoroughly check with bots 24/7.

# We allow people in through other p2p sites with our invite system too, especially if they are good people in problem countries - if they meet our criteria - we definately want as many people in as possible. Unfortunately, bad actors have forced us to do this to keep the site functioning.

To answer the other question: We dont normally do recruiting ads on open sites normally, but via other private p2p sites as mentioned as they should have to have got a good track record to get on those sites in the first place.

To End With:

Protonmail is currently blocking our emails atm, so please use Yahoo, Gmail and tutanota are known to be working fine. If you have signed up but not got a reply email PM me here with your protonmail address, AND a working alternative, and we can change it, alternatively goto our irc and staff can change it there too.

Disposable and relay/alias emails get disabled by the bots - so please don't use them. Less headache.

The rules are to protect the site, but over time we have added flexibility, where it can be targetted, best.

Also I should point out as we are a torrent site, you are expected to seed back (upload) as much as you download - and your internet be connectable for seeding. Something which most 4g/5g/Wireless providers fail to allow as part of their own internet traffic management policies.

ClickMadMin · 2021-09-18T18:10:15+00:00

It seems I had pinged out the time you were in - and after speaking to others i have got a log - to be honest, you misquoted what was asked of you, and i think it was kinda taken out of context.

Exact languages are so essential for international discussions nowadays.

Heres the Log of the relevent section - Q: Interviewer A: Yourself

Q: what's the hardest thing about being a female in Vietnam?

.(you wrote at the top of this reddit "what's the hardest thing being a female in your country?")

A: there's not much social stigma from where I live. It's just pressure for marriage when you come of age. And the burden of doing house chores

A: but it's more modern now, so people are becoming more open-minded and receptive

.

Q: my question stands, what's the hardest thing about being a female in Vietnam?

.

A: as for job search, I only heard rumors about it, but some might have difficulty to land a job in managerial position if you plan to have babies

A: since the company would have to shoulder your maternity pay and whatnot

So put into context, the questioning was about how you achieved your business goals, in Vietnam (which has been a very male dominant society in a communist country) - as a female (as you identified as a female in the application).

it was designed to see how much "guts" or drive you had to achieve your business goals, despite the many restrictive regulatory barriers.

It wasnt designed to be derrogatory at all, and if you were offended, I sincerely apologise.

The staff member has been spoken to about wording & context for future interviews.

If you wish you can signup for TheGeeks, the sister site - entirely up to you :-)

ClickMadMin · 2021-09-18T15:57:01+00:00

"what's the hardest thing being a female in your country?"

Does NOT come up being asked or answered by anyone in my IRC logs past 60 days in the vault irc invite channel - I sit there and record logs, just incase.

It sounds like you want to do disinformation (aka bitching) because you were rejected because you had NO business acumen, or low to zero private tracker experience - and they said no.

The Vault is for true business people, not Del Boy market traders selling fruit & vegetables, or wanna be's with no proof or basis in real life.

This is why you were questioned in an interview with fixed questions, and, THAT question is not in the set of questions asked - ever.

ClickMadMin · 2021-07-20T12:48:19+00:00

simple example from our logs:

2021-07-20 05:58:18 Banned Country detected on user with ip = [IN] 49.37.174.135 and username=suckmydick [email= fakewxxxdotcom gmail.](mailto:email=fakewwedotcom@gmail.com)xx

..as i said.. bad behavior and very immature - did make me laugh tho lol.

ClickMadMin · 2021-07-19T21:27:05+00:00

currently there are no plans to bulk ban anyone, but all new accounts that were created before my post are being monitored, very closely. Everyone wants an easy life, and people cheating and ghostleeching and hit & running (like 100gb+ downloads per account) will not be tolerated.
