Have you ever been banned UNFAIRLY from a tracker?

[megabyteme]

With the all-too-frequent complaints from individuals who "never did anything wrong, BUT found themselves banned" threads popping up, I got the idea for this poll.

Have you been banned UNFAIRLY from a tracker?

And let's stipulate the difference between BANNED and INACTIVE. This is about being falsely accused, or not.

PLEASE do not use this as a thread to badmouth any trackers or staff, this poll is simply a survey to indicate what percentage of the BT community believes to have been wronged at any time.

Please feel free to discuss the poll, but consider discussion of individual trackers and their staff as OFF TOPIC. I will ask that all flaming of trackers and staff be deleted from this thread.

Thanks!

Votes are confidential on this one. Feel free to be completely honest. :)

[The_Martinator]

I have not (yet).

The OP should kinda give the discussion a start, though, no?

[Cabalo]

Yes I have.
But as you ask to not badmouth sites, I will refrain from insulting some pals of yours.

[Burnsy]

Nope, never been banned from any tracker...

[megabyteme]

This is simply a way to survey the users of the BT community as to who feel they have been wrongfully kicked from a site. Many posters here get battered when they post topics that are specific to a particular incident and tracker, but this is meant to be a birds-eye view of the community.

I have a hard time believing (m)any of the posters who make such allegations. I have yet to be banned or even face conflict with staff anywhere. Am I in the minority? Are many of these claims credible?

I am truly curious about this and think there is some valuable data to be collected. We'll see...

Thanks again!

i've been banned from a shitty french tracker after saying to an admin that i registered to leech stuff, not to pal up with other members on the shoutbox :(

[1000possibleclaws]

Yup

did i break any rules? the answer is no. i've just been franck with him :idunno:

[kurdt]

the poll options are not clear. If someone was only ever banned for cause, they would qualify for option 2) No i have not (been UNFAIRLY banned) and option 3) banned for my own fault. Further, option 4 doesn't specify whether it refers to reinstatement after a fair or an unfair banning.

[That1Guy]

I got disabled at some site with the acromyn RTS when I was a noob. It wasnt runningthescene it was some other site although I cant even recall the name. If I remember correctly the site started you with a negative buffer (2 gigs down, 0 up i think). I downloaded something, then a week or two later I went back and was ip banned :lol:. Didnt bother me at all to be honest.

Other than that, I guess I have been "lucky" enough to stay clear of being banned. It really isnt that difficult. Just dont break the rules or act like a fool. If you cant refrain from acting up, just keep to yourself and download/seed.

Im sure a few ppl have been disabled unjustly. But not nearly as many that claim to be victims here.

I thought it would be clear, but this is only my second poll.

Here is how I break the options down:

Yes, I have been banned unfairly.

No, I have never been banned unfairly.

I have been banned, but I was at fault. I moved on.

I was banned, but was able to work things out with staff and get reinstated. No admission of guilt necessary (either way), IMO. If you still harbor resentment after being reinstated, then they probably should not have been so generous.

Hope this clears things up (as to my perceptions of the poll) a bit.

And, just like those fill-in the dot multiple choice tests at school, pick the one that BEST fits your situation.

[P2PDog]

Fair enuf... post deleted.

[grow4dough]

i was banned at sct a few times for redistributing "their" packs. what i mean by that is they would upload a pack that was made by some other group and throw on "-sct" at the end and then think that they own it. if a capper for a specific site uploads something he encoded and he asks for it to not go on another site i will respect that and not touch it but stealing a pack from somewhere and throwing -sct on the end doesnt mean you own it. i told them this and they disabled me twice over the course of a year but i had plenty of friends who agreed with me and didnt mind inviting me back. i liked sct for certain reasons and wish they were still here but the site going down did give me some sort of evil satisfaction. i wont say if it was unfair or not, some agree that they had retarded rules when it came to other peoples packs that they put their name on and some people think that they paid for access so it is theirs. to that though i would say that i got invited to sct from people who paid for invites so my access to them was paid for and i should get to do what they did. basically that rule of theirs was insanely hypocritical and they didnt like it when i pointed that out to them.

[Blackbeard]

Yes, I have been banned unfairly.

[megabyteme]

Hang on, P2PDog and Grow4Dough...yeah, I just checked the title of this thread and I was correct. It is not, "Has P2PDog and Grow4Dough ever gotten a hurt butt?". Nope.

The correct title is, "Have you ever been unfairly banned from a tracker?".

Again, we are not looking for individual stories, just community experiences. The individual is not important this time, rather the community. Talk of TrackerX, or Y, is unimportant.

There are plenty of other places to complain about hurt butts and abuses of power. Heck, start your own thread...

[P2PDog]

FWIW, I wasn't butthurt over either account. I was simply giving explanations along with my vote. It's your poll, if you don't want discussion, that's fine with me.

[fox92]

Yes, I have been unfairly banned before.

[megabyteme]

Nothing personal, P2pDog. Please feel free to talk about the poll or trackers in general. I don't see any value in this becoming a free-for-all chance to bad-mouth trackers. There have been many, many threads that have already done that.

And I do apologize if my wording upset you. I am trying to keep this thread fro snowballing into that sort of thing.

If this does become a complaint forum, I will have it deleted. I get annoyed when I see people bad-mouthing sites and their staff in other threads, I won't create a forum for it.

Thanks...

[Burnsy]

EDIT: Soz MBM mate... have removed my reply, in line with the topic of the thread... it probably wasn't relevant :)

[LubTheStaringCat]

Yes I have, but I didn't dwell on It, It's water under the bridge.
It was they're tracker they can do what they like there.

[Karel]

nope, im a good boy :D

[nucks2424]

yes, I got booted twice (over my 3 year BT life)but I am not good at IRC chatting (hate the format) and I never asked for my account back or to explain the situation.

I had an account at awesomehd and they had a forum to give away invites to other trackers. I gave away an invite to one site and the dude asked me if I needed an invite to a site (he listed 4-5 sites) One of the sites was one I wanted so I said sure send me one. He sent me the invite and then reported me to admin. Yes I broke there rules and I got my ip banned.

As I have previously stated in a long post I don't think there is anything wrong with trading invites for the purpose of both people getting into a site they want to use. I am against collecting sites and selling invites/accounts. I like to trade books, clothes, jokes, wives (only with my one friend who has a pornstar looking wife.... yeah it is in my dreams)

THere is nothing wrong with disagreeing over a site's rules. You can choose to break some of there rules but if u get caught.... take your medicine and move on.

When the cop waits at the bottom of a steep hill in the middle of nowhere to catch u speeding u get nabbed ( at least I have a couple of times). I disagreed with the officer about the validity of the ticket but I didn't yell or swear and i paid the ticket.

What i would like to see is people more accountable for there mistakes. Don't try to cheat,dupe, lie your way back into a tracker. Yes u may be able to do it but its slimy.

I imagine being an admin at one of these sites is tough. Must be kind of like being an insurance adjuster. You have so many people lying to u all the time that u lump the good ones in with the bad.

[ovisan]

Yeah, from cossanostra by theDevil as far as I remember, or some other cunt. Reason: someother cunt from fst who accused me in public. But I got over it.

I was banned, but was able to work things out with the staff and get reinstated.
Exept that one, I didn't got any ban

[megabyteme]

We have seen A LOT of threads created for purposes of bitching about individual sites/staff- this is not one of those.

Let's take this opportunity to look at the data coming in. So far, it seems that more people have, at one time, felt that they were banned unfairly.

Questions:

What system(s) can be put in place so that this happens less?

Supposedly, the US Justice System is designed so that "100 guilty men will be set free instead of one innocent man being found guilty". Does this idea apply to BT, why or why not?

Should there be some form of appeal forum available (not the open "poor me" style we have seen here)? How would/could this be implemented?


I would like to bring these ideas to the table as an example of what can be discussed once we start looking outside of the "I was..." perspective. Let's look at the BIG picture here. Let's think macro-...

I would also like to thank the BT staff who generously donate their time to make this community possible. You face a lot of "yes or no" decisions and have a fantastic rate of being correct! Far too often that is missed when things are seen on a micro- level as well.

[ovisan]

The question is: are you still a shitbag?
That makes you a liar. :happy:

Don't really get it but Merry Christhmas mate! I will be here to bitch you even more next year. Have a nice Christmas dinner.

[Spanky]

Banned from ScT too, for uploading a rom pack to another tracker, months after I had downloaded it from ScT. No big deal, but I was offered 3 invites from different friends to get back into ScT.

[Benjamin]

I've been banned twice, once was unfair, another time I invited like 3 cheaters and they disabled me, eventually got my account reinstated after apologizing. Only invited IRL friends after that point.

3 cheeters? Lord, I would be ashamed to shou my mug in there again!

I have to say tat I have also been banned at funfile for trying a cheating software... About 3 years ago and I still feel ashamed for what I ve done. There is another of my accounts banned for trying to give it in here while they were still on open signups :D. Those were my early days anyways, now i just wait for them to close their doors and go straight to ebay!

[ca_aok]

Nope. I was banned from RevTT for ratio issues, and two to three other sites for inactivity.

[nucks2424]

Mega,
I think u have a good concept but I don't think most trackers admin would let the final decision out of there hands. Maybe if the person has been an active member ( at least 50 posts) of this site in a positive manner then if they get banned for what they feel is unfair reasons they could forward there issue to a sticky thread in the general bittorent section titled

"Banned for unknown reason"

I don;t know how many people here who somewhat regularily post are banned. I have no idea if it would be one post a day or more ? less? . If it was a manageable amount (not 5 a day) then maybe an admin here if they felt that the person posting had a case could talk on there behalf to the admin at the site they were banned from.

At least with this the person would be judged on there behaviour over months at a time with numerous posts. Maybe this is a ton of work for admin who are volunteers and wouldn't want to be bothered. I don't know.

[MadIrish]

Nope, never so much as had a warning on any site in 4+ years.

Had a few randomly signed up for accounts disabled for inactivity, and seen a fair number of sites i used to use shut down, but never even come close to being banned anywhere, fairly or not. I guess with all these rampaging egotistical staff members out there I keep hearing about, who are just itching to ban people for no good reason, I must have been extraordinarily lucky.....

...... or maybe I just don't routinely break site rules?

1. there should be a way to be notified that you are being suspected of breaking the rules, and an opportunity to defend yourself before being banned

2. the bt system is more like the French guilty till proven innocent system, probably because there's not enough resources to investigate every violation thoroughly and the risk a rule breaker poses to the site can be high and the loss of a potential good member isn't considered that great of a loss to a sought after tracker.

3. there are com reps on this forum and others like it. some boards even have a tracker support section

[megabyteme]

My thanks to the last 3 posters. I appreciate you looking at this as a community issue.

I am certainly not advocating that sites and their staff should give up any of their rights. I am simply pondering whether or not there is something that can/should be done in the community.

There are a lot of people who use BT. Some of them chose to break rules. However, there are those (few) who do fall through the cracks. Some of these people take every opportunity (even if is expressly stated as unwelcome) to spew venom at that site. Injustice stings. A lot. I can tell you details of every traffic citation I have ever received that I feel was bogus. I won't do that though.

When we look at the individual cases, there really is not a whole lot of sympathy we can muster. However, something like this poll can shed some light on the possibility of errors in the system.

Take it for what it's worth, but I see some potential here. Or, people can just bitch, ineffectively...

[OlegL]

The poll asks quite a difficult question. I think that for certain situations, it's hard to define what's fair and what's unfair, so I won't vote for any option given in the poll.

[megabyteme]

It does ask for one's opinion, OlegL. If people feel they were unjustly treated, that's one thing. I see some value in knowing how large that population is. And, from what we are seeing, it is a SUBSTANTIAL part of the community.

I just don't want all of the individual stories to cloud that information. FAR more people want to complain about something than say everything is ok. There is no story when everything has gone well, it is a BIG story when thing go "wrong".

If you believe you were unfairly banned, you should vote. You also have the other options. Pick the one that fits best with your situation.

BTW, this is not saying that the community (trackers) has done a bad job. A member may have been on 100 trackers over the years, but only got banned once. That is a fantastic record, but the experience did happen AT LEAST THE ONE TIME. I am curious how many have had that particular experience. Maybe it will tell us something, maybe not.

[OlegL]

I honestly can't say if I was banned fairly or unfairly. I just don't know.

Correct me if I'm wrong but since you adhere to the " their site, their rules "philosophy( as opposed to my "always try to do the right thing" ) is it even technically ( taking your credo at face value) possible to be unfairly banned?I mean under those conditions "they" are always right aren't they?
"Well it's the 2nd Tuesday of the month and Ralph said the word pickle, guess I'll ban him"
Sorry if I'm being overly simplistic but that's more or less me - overly simple .

[respawn40]

I was banned from the third private tracker that I had ever joined. The first torrent that I downloaded from there was a ~20GB pack of Godzilla movies, figuring that it wouldn't matter if my ratio plummeted as long as I was still committed to seeding it. I hadn't understood the concept of buffering then. I learned how to use IRC, joined their channel, and staff there were kind enough to re-enable my account and give me a little bit of upload.

[mengaish]

no , ever never. coz i'm active in all my trackers. And i have few trackers,so i can seed them well.

[Cut-Copy-Paste]

Welll Nearly 2 months ago a Ban Wave strike me and was Banned at GFT , Bitme , BitmeTv and PTN.

Reason : Well I was a trader/scammer when i started torrenting 1.5 years ago( for reason i could not see any other way of getting into tracker then). but left it after 1 months as i got into 2-3 good trackers den.

So 2 months before all of 4 tracker accused me of trading. I tried 2 make den realize dat trading was my bad past. Got GFT and PTN back but as every one can guess bitme/tv staff are little ...........

[Swift]

I was banned fairly on all my trackers .

[ovisan]

^^ :D

I know for a fact yu are not banned everywhere mate

[Swift]

Typo mistake i don't mean all trackers i refer only to those i got banned.

[ovisan]

That makes more sense. Craciun Fericit!

[smcewa11]

Lots of bans, most temporary but one was annoying.

-Banned on Waffles for 'hammering the tracker'. Turns out that max_half.open to 100 when downloading 32 torrents at a time is a bad idea. Quick chat and was re-enabled.

-Banned on BCG as was in tree of trader (grandfather?). IRC convo, was told to find better inviter.

-Banned on HDBits when seedboxes were newish for 'stats cheating'. Convo and proof of seedbox, re-enabled.

-Banned on TheBox. Worst reason ever: using a shared seedbox. I had also asked on the forum if using a shared seedbox was ok and was told yes. Not re-enabled but I was annoyed as I had uploaded a few TB's on the shared seedbox before they banned me. I felt this was unfair.

That is a good point, Idol. It is also one of the reasons I created this thread. The fact is, I have never been banned. I have been disabled for inactivity, but that is something entirely different.

When I see one of the "I got banned without doing anything wrong..." threads, I roll my eyes. Then I wait for the spam to begin. After a while, it turns out they DID do something.

I have become a bit jaded on the individual stories. However, I do realize that no system is perfect. We have lots of people and LOTS of interactions. Mistakes do happen.

If there is a real problem in the community, then this sort of macro- view should shed some light on it. I am not saying I know how to solve "the problem", if it exists, but I do find it interesting that ~40% of the voters feel that they have, at least once, been banned unfairly.

[lol87]

I have been banned at TBy, reason: In their forum "need to seed section", I requested someone to seed since I downloaded a pack with a speed of 1-2 kb/s. Writing the download speed was the reason for them to ban me. I think it's a little over the top, maybe they could give me a warning instead of banning me. First I thought that they banned me for over-seeding ( ratio = ~3 ), later I realized it was for writing the speed.

x264 banned me, since they thought that I offer my account for trading.
The thing is that I wrote a list of trackers that I have ( for ratio proof ) written in my native language ( not English ) in a foreign filesharing forum. I wrote it clearly that I had an account for ratio proof not for trading. Since those lazy people from x264 didn't bother to use google translator, they justified all this by banning me.

PS: I never traded my account before. However, I have been disabled from some various torrent sites fairly since I didn't use my account.

[Hombre]

I was never baned from any tracker, bcuz I only DL and say nothing. most trackers forums are shit and only kids there (irc is even worst), so I steal my files and GTFO. i lost accs bcuz I was uninterested in the tracker. Only good exception from sites I have are TBy and revTT. Them forums are quite good.

[TrollinThunder]

I have been banned from several trackers for being an idiot. I was reinstated at one and joined others with new invites.

[OlegL]

This poll doesn't make much sense, to be honest. It's often impossible to say whether a person was banned fairly or unfairly even if you know what happened to that person. Things are often vague.

[megabyteme]

Life isn't always black and white, OlegL. If it were, then no one would ever have reason for dispute (outside of hurt pride). People do see things differently and life is vague. Look at some of the World issues- Do we have "Global Warming" or "Climate Change"? Has the US been pursuing a "War on Drugs" or a "War on the Casual User"? H1N1 (swine flu), should we get vaccinated, or not?

We may not have an infallible answer, but we do have feelings, leanings, biases, and even "best guesses". Sometimes, we even get it right. Going into conflicts considering the possibility that you may have been wrong will often make things MUCH easier to work out with another party. However, don't let people take advantage of that flexibility and circumspection. If you cave-in and then regret it, you will feel more resentment than you would have had later.

You also make a case why we don't need to give personal accounts of the incidents here. You can feel like you were mistreated without having to defend against/attack the other party. It is only your perception we are after this time.:)

[grow4dough]

Hang on, P2PDog and Grow4Dough...yeah, I just checked the title of this thread and I was correct. It is not, "Has P2PDog and Grow4Dough ever gotten a hurt butt?". Nope.

The correct title is, "Have you ever been unfairly banned from a tracker?".

Again, we are not looking for individual stories, just community experiences. The individual is not important this time, rather the community. Talk of TrackerX, or Y, is unimportant.

There are plenty of other places to complain about hurt butts and abuses of power. Heck, start your own thread...

the community is made up of individuals each with their own story that will paint a clearer overall picture. im sorry if common sense has eluded you and you do not understand that. also, i dont give a fuck what you want in this thread, i saw other people post their stories so i posted mine. have a great day, and please give me your opinion more, i care deeply about what you want.

[xa1ups]

Banned never, only disabled for inactivity after a long period without dsl. I don't understand how can someone get banned "unfairly" from a tracker? It has to be because he broke some kind of rule.

[lol87]

@Homble, you give me an epilepsy attack with all of your flashing gif animations.

[7th]

well, I never had any kind of problems with staff from the trackers I'm member of if that's what you're "also" asking... I've never being banned but disabled for inactivity since I tend to just leave accounts do be disabled when I won't use it anymore...

I don't know if this is the best "approach" though... maybe I should ask the staff to disable it? =/

[sez]

Once for a shared network IP conflict,threatened them got re-enabled <---jk :P but it ended well.

no i dont get banned i get disabled for inactivity on terrible trackers

I got banned from vipmusic once for inviting a previously banned user(didnt know he was). I thought that was a little harsh as they could've just taken away my invites/disabled invite privileges but a straight ban? Cmon!

[Glitterstep]

I got banned on bitme.org but got my account as the staff believed in what i said. My friend was shocked when he heard that bitme staff enabled my account again. :)

[awaited]

I was banned at ptn because once I was traveling to Canada and it was an instant ban due to my ip change. but after I went to their irc and explained that I was visiting there, and will be back on my original ip on x date(I had my laptop with me and was seeding the same torrents as before), the mod was really nice and enabled me. I came back to the original ip and everything is fine since then. Also, I have been disabled due to inactivity on a couple of trackers, I could've saved them but I decided to move along.:cool:

[7th]

bitme staff. :)
they're nice :)

[susiserken]

Never been banned on any tracker im a good boy :P

[OlegL]

This poll doesn't make much sense because there isn't any difference between a person who was banned from a tracker and a person who wasn't banned from a tracker.

How can we really answer the question asked in this poll if we don't even know why bittorrent trackers exist, what their purpose is, and what anyone of us is doing on bittorrent trackers?
