Are any of these services trusted? Would a private tracker lock your account as soon as they figure out you bought your way in?

And can anybody vouch for or against [redacted]?

Edit: pretty sure the site I asked about is a scammer so I removed it so nobody goes there. I had completely misspelled the tracker name when contacting them and they didn't correct me.

Private trackers are appealing to a lot of people because of the quality. Quality uploads, quality seeders. People who buy access haven't shown that they possess knowledge regarding how to participate in a private tracker.

They are more likely to hit-and-run, have a bad ratio, or break other rules. They don't have a track record to show that they probably don't work for a record company/studio, etc. They are a burden to the volunteer staff for these reasons.

If you're a good seeder as you've claimed, then working your way up shouldn't be difficult. It just takes time and some dedication.
