Hey there, I tried many torrent sites but all of them either don’t accept registration or some other bogus reason I don’t understand ..

For example I heard about Glodls torrents as a common place to upload torrents.. However when I tried to register in their forum , later I received an email stating  “ Unfortunately the account you registered on Glotorrents community did not meet the membership requirements “

What are the membership requirements for Glotorrents community?

I am not able to  find out what are the membership requirements in their website or anywhere on the internet.. this is so annoying and frustrating because I feel that every one can upload their torrents easily but this crap only happens to me..

I am having difficulty uploading a torrent because I don’t know any torrent website that would accept my registration and I tried a bunch, so it not just Glodls…

Just checking. Anyone can create an account, but uoad privileges there require an application. They have some basic requirements like upload speed, ability to leave things seeded after upload, etc.

I don't know any details because I don't have an account there. I just read whatever is available in the FAQ.

They don’t tell you what to submit to them.. they don’t even tell you an application exists.. I just want to seed a torrent publicly.. WHY IS THIS SO HARD?!

Take a deep breath...

If they let everyone upload, the place would likely go to shit really fast. Poor quality uploads, unseeded uploads, uploads that nobody can download because the seeder doesn't have a decent internet connection, viruses, illegal images, you name it.

So of course there's a process. It's up to you to figure it out, so figure it out. The website that I found isn't loading for me right now, but the last time I was looking at it, it was very easy to find the post explaining how it all works, and I don't even have an account there.
