My what.cd account just got disabled and i have no clue why.

[grimms]

I need someones help. Do not have a clue why my what.cd account has been disabled. I did nothing wrong according to my knowledge. I seed, upload, and follow all the rules on my account. If someone could go to their IRC on my behalf that would be great.

join #what.cd-disabled on irc.what.cd

They have forbidden me from access to their irc channel. I was just logged on about an hour ago. Thanks.

<&WhatMan> Hi, grimms.

<&WhatMan> Would you like to fancy a guess as to why you were disabled?
<&WhatMan> Come on, I bet you can guess.

<grimms> How do i do that? I'm a little new at mirc i'm sorry?
<@dblaze> in general, one gets invited
<@dblaze> grimms: you're there
<@dblaze> GetRich986: this isn't the place for that, our invite channel is closed. get

an invite from someone who is already a member. if you get it on a published board, we

will disable your account
<grimms> All i know is that i'm a great user, i seed, and follow rules, so i'm alittle

<&WhatMan> Alright, grimms, we can just have this discussion here, if you prefer.
<&WhatMan> Did you read the homepage today?
<@dblaze> mp3live please join #what.cd-disabled-interview now
<&WhatMan> *sigh*
<grimms> Yes about invites, i stopped doing public giveaways awhile ago due to the new

strict rules and even have encouraged people on forums that i'm known to be to stop

giving them away in public
<grimms> i'm a good user on all my accounts
<@dblaze> all?
<%NightOath> grimms: strict new rules?
<&WhatMan> *Ahem*
<&WhatMan> These rules have been here since day one.

<&WhatMan> dblaze: !tban mp3live 1m is pretty useful.
<@dblaze> does it kick too?
<%NightOath> Should do
<&WhatMan> No, just ban. I believe.
<&WhatMan> It's a one minute timed ban.
<@dblaze> ah
<@dblaze> I'll fix my shit soon
<&WhatMan> grimms: Looking at your FST profile, I see you're giving away invites to a

lot of other sites that don't like their invites being given out.
<@dblaze> it's just to keep to room clear for grimms, since he can't seem to join

another channel
<&WhatMan> In fact, it's pretty insane.
<&WhatMan> Rules:
<&WhatMan> No pm
<&WhatMan> No trader account takers or acc givers
<&WhatMan> 1 good ratio proof
<&WhatMan> 30 posts minimum
<&WhatMan> I do check post history
<&WhatMan> And really - those aren't exactly the most stellar rules I've ever read.
<grimms> Yea i have noticed tha lately and have toned down on my invite giving. But

since i lost a very good account this one. I won't be giving invites out to anybody

anymore. I do make sure their good users though i don't like traders or cheaters
<@dblaze> grimms: basicly, you're trying to fuck us
<grimms> Would love to have my account back but if that is not possible. I would just

like to thank you for your time

<&WhatMan> Hang on a sec, grimms. I'm going to check your account activity.
<@dblaze> well, lemme see what I can do...
<&WhatMan> Any particular reason why you stopped seeding all your torrents yesterday?
<grimms> I don't fuck anyone. I'm a good trusted user, but have noticed alot of

trackers not wanting their invites given in public so i toned down alot but now i won't

be giving any invites away. I really value my what.cd account.
<@dblaze> good of you to notice
<grimms> I'm been having some connection problems lately especially with utorrent 1.7.7

but i leave my torrents seeded my computer never goes off

<&WhatMan> Nevermind got it to work edit your host files take the earlier fix out and

put this url announce in all your torrents
<&WhatMan> http://tracker.what.cd:34000/6f5f528...43bfd/announce
<&WhatMan> </quote>
<&WhatMan> Do you realize what you did there?
<&WhatMan> You told everyone to use your passkey.
<@dblaze> ug
<grimms> Huh?
<&WhatMan> This isn't relevant, just amusing.
<@dblaze> yeah, exactly. huh? is right
<@LogicalUser> that passkey is what identifies you as YOU, to the tracker
<@LogicalUser> anyone using that announce URL's stats count to your account
<grimms> So what did i do wrong then? Now i'm confused. I changed my what.cd announce

while ago cause iw as trying to make a point and help someone out but then someone

pm'med saying i gave out a my passkey. So then i changed it. That was like 3 months ago
<&WhatMan> As I said, it isn't relevant. Just amusing.
<grimms> So even if you change your passkey someone can still use your old one? It was

a mistake i was trying to help someone out and accidently put my passkey but then

changed mines immediately after i got a pm from a member.
<&WhatMan> grimms: Here, want to strike a deal?
<&WhatMan> I'll re-enable your account, (with invites disabled, of course).

<grimms> Thats fine. I have no problem with that.
<&WhatMan> However, in return, you must delete/edit all your giveaway threads for any

tracker, vow never to give away another invite in public, and confess to the staff of

every tracker you've ever given invites away on.
<&WhatMan> (If you don't, we'll just give your info to them anyways, so it's much

better for you to come clean.)
<grimms> You can do what you want. Fst is a public forum for all to see. I help good

trusted users out. I'm not a trader or a scammer. I feel like your treating me as such.
<&WhatMan> The reason we have an invites system is so that we have a chain of trust.
<&WhatMan> When you invite anyone who can fake a ratio screenshot, you break that

chain.
<grimms> I'm a very trust worthy user. I'm aware of that but what i usually do is pm

them ont he tracker that they claim to be a member of and i also ask for a direct

rpofile link i'm very strict in my giveaway's
<grimms> i know about trust i come from the street literally
<grimms> ever heard of the no snitching campaign even though the virtual and office

world are different. I know about trust my friend
<@dblaze> Terror_ please join #what.cd-disabled-interview now
<&WhatMan> This doesn't change your situation. You have two choices. Choice one (come

clean) or choice two (blacklist). What'll it be?

<grimms> How do i copy and poaste this whole conversation i'll present to the world no

problem.
<grimms> I have nothing to hide


<&WhatMan> So, that's choice two then?
<&WhatMan> You have ten seconds to change your mind.

Then i got kicked out or disconnected. There you go folks. Now i will no longer be inviting anyone anywhere thanks to my what.cd account being disabled. I also was trying to explain to them when i accidently gave out my passkey months ago that it was due to trying to help someone with announces and creating torrents(Actually it was when they had the host file issue, I thought i was for helping a member create a torrent, sorry about that). I copy and pasted my passkey it was months ago, then i got a pm from a member saying i put my announce key on public display in a forum (this is when they had a dns issue from switching servers)and i deleted my passkey that day. Now there accusing me of being dishonest as well for doing public giveaway's everyone look at my giveaway post history i'm extremely strict and follow the rules. I just happened to overlook the rule on what.cd invites being given out but then stopped a month ago or so. But anyways my problem got solved and i lost a good account. Being helpful is not always a good thing. This is leasson to all you folks on here doing public giveaway's read the faq and rules

[1000possibleclaws]

wow these what.cd bans are getting ridiculous.. I'll try getting on that irc

[Cabalo]

could the cause be innactivity ?

[1000possibleclaws]

well he was just on a second ago changing his stylesheets, so i doubt that. anyways i've gotten onto irc.what.cd but your second command isnt working

[Nemrod]

Have you given some invite lately?

They are very strict about giving invites in boards like this. No matter the way you do or how demanding you are about requirements, give an invite in a public place is immediate ban.

We've been very happy to open invites again, but we're still seeing invites being given out publicly to people the inviter doesn't personally know. This breaks the chain of trust you get from inviting people you know or have thoroughly interviewed. Inviting people on public forums via trades or "giveaways" will result in your account and the account of your invitee being disabled. Please only invite people you trust to the site.

[broomhead]

yeah, they recently made an announcement talking about how serious they will be about receiving invites randomly from forums like this

[grimms]

How do i copy and paste the text from mirc? I'm talking to them now?

[stoi]

just highlight it, it auto copies it.

[grimms]

It doesn't let me scroll down when i highlight it

They banned me for doing public giveaway's to their tracker in the past and others. So now they threathened to let the other trackers know that i did giveaway's i don't give a shit i have nothing to hide. I just want to post the whole convo in here

never mind thanks stoi

[th0r]

another reason why waffles.fm is so much better than what.cd
