Open Registration

Open registration is when a tracker allows anyone to join the tracker. This is typically done when trackers are new/small and want to gain more members.

There is a time limit for open registration, for example, a tracker might have open registration for the week of its birthday. There is also sometimes a limit as to how many new users are allowed to join, so once all of those slots are filled up no more users will be allowed to register.

Open registrations are a good way for new users to get started with private trackers however because of this, open registration tends to bring in a lot of low quality members who don't know the rules and many tend to quickly get pruned for inactivity.
