I see lots of people here recommened RED/OPS/MAM as an entry into the tracker world. That seems to be the standard recommendation (Although that has somewhat changed now with ATH->BHD->PTP being possible but even then MAM->ATH is a route)

Regardless theres a huge amount of talk on this subreddit about ‘invite routes’ or about how to get to X tracker, and what requirements you’ll need. In other words, using tracker A as a means to an end to get into tracker B, with no intention of actually being a member of tracker A.

Like joining MAM and seeding for 6 months random books you never read or care about, you barely even know the names. You get your rank up and get into ATH, the tracker you actually want because you want movies

Is this frowned upon? Will you get banned on MAM for saying ‘I just want to rank up here to get invite forums tbh’? Likewise, RED/OPS? I primarily came to the tracker scene for movies and TV, not books/audiobooks/music, although I might grab some its maybe 1% of my intended use

I can keep it a secret, but its just feels a bit funny, I suppose it is frowned upon despite it being 90% of the discussion on this sub lol
