People selling invites and ban avoidance is why they do this. I was sketched out when I first had to do this like 7 years ago and I can tell you I don't regret it for a minute. RED has an invites forum that will get you invites to some of the best trackers out there.
In my experience, almost all of the private trackers worth joining require you to connect to the site with your home IP. But, you can use your torrent client through a VPN. So the other users don't see your home address.
I understand the caution. But, if it scares you away from joining you will be missing out.
