    Just ask Cabalo. His supposed global banned was what, a few sites at the most?

    Yeah, since alot of tracker staff are very young and a few of them aren't very mature, global bans have been abused enough to become pretty much a joke to me. These staffers started to bring personal matters and conflicts into the picture, so I don't blame the trackers that don't listen to these attempts and base their judgements on how the member behaves on their given tracker. I wouldn't call that selfish behavior, as "I'm Hot" seems to be implying.

    I would think one with some common sense would investigate such claims first anyways, and make judgment from there.

    I was not TrueSounds, some sites just rule what they own as they want and there's nothing wrong with that. And no one starts a global ban because of a personal issue, I have never heard about a single one that started from nothing or from a personal issue to be honest.

    That's not true. There have been plenty of global bans started because of petty personal conflicts, I'm surprised you'd try and say that isn't the case.

    I think when it comes to global bans sites just look at the offense and the source of the information and make a judgment call. Some sites think that every rule breaker deserves to be hounded off the net and others think the global ban should be reserved for the worst of the worst, sellers/hackers/big fish traders, while still others don't give a shit about it at all.

    I agree with Sear, invite sellers have to be punished somehow or there are no consequences and they will still be on other sites selling invites if not banned from all. Still people get power hungry or vindictive over a mistake,a post or two and that is when it can get out of control. It should be a case by case situation. If the person has been breaking rules then they should get banned from that site but if they are following the rules on all their other sites. Should they be banned from all trackers? Not talking about invite sellers or those that cheat the stats.The people that are new to BT and mess up once by giving away a invite or trading,arguing with a staff member at another tracker, whatever reason. What is fair?

    Well my views and thoughts on global bans
    1. As far as I am concerned there is no such thing, even for the English speaking trackers, which I guess is the biggest percentage of trackers (compared to any other language). I come across trackers regulary that have been open for over a year that I have never heard of so no one will know all trackers and the news that some one is globally banned is only likely to reach a small few. So a full global ban of English speaking trackers will never happen.

    2. People who try to global ban people for minor or personal reasons should be the ones that are subjected to the ban, Tracker owners and staff should be responsible (they never all will be tho) enough to realise this.

    3. Global type bans should be restricted to major things like constant traders who just want to collect top trackers and more importantly invite sellers. There are other security risks that are bad that members of sites can do that may also fall into this catagory.

    There are 10 kinds of people who know binary. Those who do, and those who don't.

    I'm serious, never seen any. Maybe because most of the time I'm not the one who cares about this issues.
