Thanks.
There are filters in place to try to exclude these posts, but they didn't catch it this time. I've added more filters, but how effective they are remains to be seen.
It's unfortunate, but automated filters are rarely 100% effective.

I think people are mis-attributing the problem to Anidex. I very much dislike their lack of moderation, but Nyaa has had CSAM posted several times, even after registrations were closed, so it's not a problem unique to Anidex.
Having said that, I'm very much in favour of dropping Anidex if a better alternative exists*.

It may surprise some, but there actually are numerous filters in place, which has had varying degrees of success in the past. Unfortunately, the people posting this stuff are often trying to evade filters to some degree (using misspelt words, posting many variations to see what passes through etc), which is easy for a human to identify, but not so much for a bot.
Nonetheless, I've added more guards in place to hopefully deal with it better next time. Unfortunately, nothing is 100% effective, and as much as I detest it, it's a risk that running AT bears.

Highly appreciate the suggestions though!

* I'm actually a bit on the fence with dropping Anidex, even without an alternative. This isn't because of the recent incident, but more of it's managed in general.

CSAM distribution is a serious offence. any reports regarding this matter will be dealt asap. So no surprise there.

no Anidex no worry but no AnimeTosho big worry

To me the weird thing was the registrar going along with this.  If he scrolled back a page he would see this was a blob of gunk with nothing before it.  I don't think anyone would have expected such a reaction.

Makes me wonder if maybe it was deliberate - someone gets a third party to flood AniDex with CSAM such that AniDex categorizes it as English-translated anime (so AnimeTosho picks it up), then they immediately contact AnimeTosho's registrar in order to report it and get the site taken down.

Stranger things have happened, after all.

Oh yes I see the post now, yesterday 11:08. Well that's kind of weird the registrar pulled the plug not even 24h of it occurring, and why they were watching the site so quickly -- or how quickly someone reported it. Curious as to why AniDex wasn't taken down, probably different registrars and no one watching. I agree with removing AniDex.

since admin is willing to deal with it, I'm not going to worry about it.

yes, admin confirmed that earlier in feedback

Was it confirmed that the Anidex event was what caused the site to go down? If it is then obviously I'd agree.

Better than having one torrent destination for piracy police.

Their mission is to be a dumping ground for slop

--I can't find any who aren't just mirroring from Nyaa.  No one has been naming anyone who is just anidex.

I wonder what anidex thinks their mission is anymore, except porn?

Not sure, all I know people still uses anidex. All I said maybe it's time to abandon anidex entirely to avoid this kind of problem in the future. Nyaa has closed their registration for this exact reason.

Name one that can reliably beat the video sources with their filtered encodes, or an active REAL fansub group.

some uploaders still use anidex, so yeah, a lot.

what is there to miss in anidex?

That's at least something, that they did push it faster when they could have laid back and wait till it happens automatically. The sad thing is the takedown in the first place. It's not like you willingly upload it, but are willing to delete it, usually fast. And all just because a bit slowdown ....
I wasnt online that time, but read even the naming was quite clear? May block that too? Of course some content detection would be best, but I am not aware something exists (cheeply)? Else its hard to detect, rather trackers need to check on hashes of known leaks and such so legit accounts cant be missused. But you wont ever be 100% safe anyway.

I hate to say this but I'd rather miss anidex torrents than lose AnimeTosho again

I suggested this but admin declined because there is 1 (one) guy making semi-good releases there

I think it might be worth it to stop mirroring Anidex or at least have a blacklist that'd skip obvious porn uploads. As far as I know, Anidex has been abandoned by the owner and its mods and it's basically running on auto-pilot with hacked accounts constantly spam uploading illegal material. In my opinion, Anidex has become useless and it is not worth the extra trouble to keep mirroring from it, especially because of the nature of materials uploaded by the hacked accounts

Glad you Back my dearest .You Rock as always

No apologies necessary admin! It was those assholes uploading stuff they shouldnt have causing everyone grief.
So happy AT is back in all its glory. Thank you for providing us with this invaluable service!
