Should BT sites block entire Regions?

If the trackers can't help themselves through other means of identifying cheaters, then banning country-wide IP-ranges is certainly the safest option for the tracker and all the remaining members. Some tracker staff should always consider the needs of many above the needs of a few, that's unfortunately not very fair or popular for a certain group of people.

yes, because i've seen statistics.

there are countries with a cheater/leecher rate of over 85% on a tracker.

there are several reasons for this, but it's a fact.

statistics might be wrong, think of yourself - how would you feel if your entire country was banned?

it is wrong, there are smart system to prevent cheating, not a massive punishment!

pretend you are tracker staff.

-you get 100 users from country xyz every month
-85% cheat or leech their ass off

now you have to ban 85 single users. it's a timewasting process.

ban the whole country and you save time and work. for the benefit of the good users.

of course it's hard for the 25 good users of this country, but what are you gonna do?

[pECi]

yeah i agree with polarbear...but sometimes banning an entire country doesn't work...u have to disable their accounts too coz their can enter from a box or a proxy
