Well they shadowban the accounts which share copyrighted content for which they receive copyright claims.
replyIt's a centralized service, they just configure you account to be invisible in the search results of others.
And they don't check whether the file is really reachable. I've 'chmod 000' copyrighted files so they could not be downloaded (but still could be found in search), and Soulseek administrators were not happy with that ether.
I've been shadowbanned 4 times or so. They never unban, need new account.
Not doubting you but there are people with a quarter of a petabyte shared on slsk. I have a modest share of ~200GB, a good chunk of that from trigger happy record labels and never got banned. My client serves and average of 50-100 downloads a day no problem. So idk whats going wrong on your end.
replyBut it's free to make a new account. They know where their bread is buttered. Public file-sharing services have to make these fig-leaves about caring about copyright.
replycreating new account is like 3 seconds, you don't even need to register in any way, you just create random username and password you never need again
