How do you prevent fraud? What keeps users from uploading copyrighted material or using the site as download-mirror?

NoFile on March 7, 2017 [–]

The only way to prevent this is through valid content removal requests sent in through the contact form.

As mentioned in a previous comment, since uploaders aren't rewarded for downloads this shouldn't become too big of an issue to handle.
