yep. since the bt community is not cleaned automatically but rather inspected and cultivated by hand by a group of mods (and an amazingly small group of them at that), any scheme hoping to keep the torrent community pollution free would need to come up with some potocol allowing trusted gatekeeping that
at the same time is robust enough to thwart attacks. personally if i was a seeding participant i'd migrate my tracker site to WASTE
right now or even Freenet until something better develops.
