Yes, I understand this too. However, most people ask where to get the Torrent files and when someone posts an answer the thread then is facilitating illegal activities and becomes illegal and is deletedsladehk said:You have to understand that forums have to abide by a set of rules which includes the disencouragement of the use of illegitimate software/files. As a result, threads which encourage or have links/ways of obtaining illicit material are usually deleted. As long as you stick to helping the person use BitTorrent and not the downloading of illicit material, it should not be deleted.
