[bourne]

[Rikikii]

[bourne]

@cinephilia: thx for the link, but i don't know nothing about audio transcoding and stuffs like this :(, so i think that i will not pass this test. Is not so easy to pass this test if u don't know nothing about the subject.

read up on it. Not knowing about audio transcoding will you a bad member at music sites as you will upload transcodes, get your uploading rights removed, and annoy the majority of the users in doing so.

Good luck:

How to join What.CD
1. Getting an invite:

Potential users should never ever look for invites from a third party, namely invite sites. ONLY get invites from members of what.cd or from passing the interview. While this may not stop what happened recently to fellow members, it may prevent you from experiencing the joy of getting in only to be banned almost immediately.


2. The interview:

To join What.CD you have to keep a good upload/download ratio or you will get banned pretty quickly. So only try to join What.CD if you are serious about keeping a good upload/download ratio and just not going to join just to download as much as possible and not upload anything.
To join follow these steps:
First you need to download an IRC client if you haven't already got one. I recommend mIRC an easy to use free IRC client, which is downloadable here www.mirc.com (http://www.mirc.com/).
When installed and ready to go. You need to join the What.CD IRC server which is irc.what-network.net (irc://irc.what-network.net) Port 6667. Once you have connected you got to join the channel #what.cd-invites
DO NOT GO TO ANOTHER CHANNEL AND ASK FOR AN INVITE, YOU WILL BE BANNED FROM THE CHANNEL OR IGNORED
When in the channel read the instructions that are given. Type !queue into the channel and you will be added to the waiting list to be interviewed for an invite. Please be patient waiting in the queue can take up to 4 hours or even longer. This is where you got to be one of them people that really want an invite as you could get an invited to the interview at anytime so you really need to stay at your computer watching to screen.
When you get invited to an interview room you will be asked a few question about yourself, how much you know about music e.g. do you know what a FLAC file is? And you might need to provide and image of your upload/download ratio of other private Bittorrent sites. So before you go to an interview room be sure to have a speedtest.net result ready.
Don't be nervous when answering the questions.
If they accept you and are willing to give you an invite they will ask for your email address and then they will send you an invite. So just go to you inbox and you will see an invite. From there on it is easy street as you just got to sign up and you're in.
Please be aware that they might not give you an invite for many reasons. So don't be too disappointed if you don't get an invite. You can try again, but the interviewers might get tired of you if you show no signs of improvement.
Good luck.
And remember to keep up a good upload/download ratio

1) Using a proxy/BNC/whatever to hide your IP is NOT allowed. If found you will be banned and not be given a second chance.
2) Read the channel topic and post a www.speedtest.net (http://www.speedtest.net/) result. Do NOT fake this one, you will be caught, banned and not given a second chance.
3) Be polite and patient. People asking how long they have to wait repeatedly is not exactly encouraging, neither is ungrateful users. As there is a LOT of users flowing through the channel every day the tolerance is not exactly high.
4) Study up! Don't come to the interview unprepared, you will NOT pass the interview, read the guides mentioned in this thread, it is not hard.
5) Don't cheat! If we find out you're copy/pasting answers or similar you will get banned and not given a second chance.
6) Try again. If you fail the interview yet have shown some proof of knowledge you may try again no sooner than 48 hours from the end of the interview, but for the love of god, DO study. Don't just try again without reading up on the question you failed, you will not be given more chances if you're unwilling to read/improve.
7) If you DO pass the interview, make sure you read all the rules and especially the ratio requirements before you do anything at all. You're only allowed 1 account per user per lifetime, so take good care of it.
Unfortunately some users just can't follow the rules, so we've had to ban several IP-Ranges because of abuse (traders, cheaters, sellers etc.). If your IP is banned there is no way in for you via the invite-channel.

@ben: i'm not an uploader, i don't have music sources to be an uploader on a dedicated site, so i think that this will not be a problem. Any way is not a must to be an uploader, what is a must is to respect the rules and this will not be a problem. ;)

[pone44]

Then you will have a difficult time there. :yes:

[bourne]

@pone44: i still hope that i can receive an invite from here :)

[killercam101]

How do we know you're a responsible user?..what.cd is very harsh to users who invite bad members...show us something..boobs...a foot..screenshots of other trackers you're in....

[ben99]

just a heads up, what.cd staff actively ban users who give out invites and the users they invited in giveaways at sites like here.

[pone44]

I do not think you will have this request filled but Good luck in the future. Plus you show No proofs from other sites, that does not help your request?




just a heads up, what.cd staff actively ban users who give out invites and the users they invited in giveaways at sites like here.

Also True.

Try irc study what cine told you and learn how to Up.

[bourne]

@killercam101: i have very good proofs on very good trackers and i will show this proofs to the person that want to help me.

@ben99 and pone44: i'm just wondering how both of you receive access on what.cd?

[ben99]

@killercam101: i have very good proofs on very good trackers and i will show this proofs to the person that want to help me.

@ben99 and pone44: i'm just wondering how both of us receive access on what.cd?

do you mean both of you?

I got in from being a bitmetv vip.

[bourne]

@ben99: yah, both of you. my mistake. just corrected. being a bitmetv vip? and u receive it from?

[obiwan11]

for what? for free? you can try at their IRC and interview for one...

[bourne]

@obiwan11: what do u mean with: for what? for free?

[Cabalo]

14 posts in 1,5 year, of those 9 at this thread.
have you ever considered giving something to this community BEFORE asking something back ?

[bourne]

of course i considered that and i will do this.
by the way i didn't asking for something back cause i didn't give nothing and i don't want to give something for invites (don't understand me wrong, simple, i'm not a trader) in exchange i will help other good members of this community. ;)

the first proof of this will be a little GW for e-learning stuff ;)

[ben99]

@ben99: yah, both of you. my mistake. just corrected. being a bitmetv vip? and u receive it from?

bitmetv has a invite section for vips. What is one of those sites that offers unlimited invites to VIPS and Elites.

[pone44]

IRC is your best option. You really have no post history @ Fst.

Hope to see more posts from you in the future. 16 post a year, that is hardly 1 a month?

I doubt you will get one here with no history. :no:

[Cabalo]

of course i considered that and i will do this.

well, you had 1,5 year to remember about that.

anyway, hope to see you become active around here. this is a special place.

special can mean anything :)

[bourne]

@pone44: still hope for invite. U know, the hope die last.
@cabalo: yes, i have my personal reasons for this and i don't want to talk here about my private life. any way, i will try to be much more active. And, it's true, this is a special place. ;)

[Funkin']

Not knowing about audio transcoding will you a bad member

All he wants to do is get in and download some music. He has no plans on uploading as he said. So really doesn't need to know about transcodes or encoding to download. I'm sure he'll learn all about that when he gets in.

We were all like he was at one point. I didn't know a damn thing about lossless, various bitrates, reading spectrals, or encoding and transcodes when I joined into OiNK. But I learned it all when I became a member. Stop acting so fucking elite.

bourne, it looks like your request might not get filled. Your two options it looks like is to either study for an hour or so on encoding, transcoding, mp3 and lossless formats, etc. Or...do what killercam asked and post some screenshots of your ratios at the trackers you belong to. Maybe you'll have a better chance when people know you know how to keep a ratio. Who knows...

[bourne]

@Funkin': thx for support ;)

for the rest of u i attach also a little proof, i hope that is enough for the moment.

[PoorFook]

I only give What.CD invites to people whom I know. Since invitees can fuck up my overall invitee ratio. Good luck finding a invite here since it's not allowed to give a What.CD invite.

[bourne]

thx @poorFook. Can i ask u how do u obtain the invite for what.cd?

[ben99]

@Funkin': thx for support ;)

is that last ss of sct? If so you can get a waffles invite. Show me your waffles ratioproof and maybe I'll be able to help you out. That said, I still think that you should read up on all that information that is required to pass the test.

@Funkin, if you are so convinced that he will make a good member why don't you invite him?

[redMonster]

The last ss is not of sct.

[bourne]

@ben99: is not sct. is HD-Bits :( and i don't have a waffles :( this is also a reason for asking what.cd ;)

PS: on ScT i have 5+ ratio :)

[pone44]

Did someone not write that you can get waff in the forums @ s*t? :unsure:


@ben99: is not sct. is HD-Bits :( and i don't have a waffles :( this is also a reason for asking what.cd ;)

PS: on ScT i have 5+ ratio :)

[bourne]

@pone44: on BTV if u are VIP. :(

[cinephilia]

did you read my post or what ? :dry:

http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/p-looking-whatcd-post3059123/postcount9

[pone44]

Not the other? Can someone confirm?

Why do you post some screens of the sites you have mentioned?

Wish you good Luck. Did you study the different music formats-ect, so you can fill out a application for what that cine gave you info on??

http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/p-looking-whatcd-post3059123/postcount9 -unless you do, you will have a hard time getting in.

Good job Funkin and Cine. :D

Again- s*t doesn't offer waff or ?

Read it somewhere here.?

[bourne]

@cinephilia: i read it and also today a read some music stuff, but i don't think that is enough :( i will try to learn more ;) but till then maybe i have luck here.
BTW thx for the support! ;)

@pone44: i don't have any post with ratio from sct. that proof is from HD-BITS

[cinephilia]

try the interview and copy paste the questions they ask you so you can easily pass the test next time ;)

[bourne]

@cinephile: thx but no thx. "5) Don't cheat! If we find out you're copy/pasting answers or similar you will get banned and not given a second chance." is one of the rule there (copy past from u'r post). This is a test? :) ;) or u mean the question, to learn after that?

[pone44]

If you really want it? You will have a better chance to receive a invite there with some more knowledge of music formats and reading studying what cine posted, then try the interview. :yes:

Might want to post screenshots when making a request and have a small amount of posts here.

Post some proofs of your current ratios-sites?

[bourne]

@pone44: 4 sure i will not cheat there. i'm not a cheater ;)

[ben99]

@ben99: is not sct. is HD-Bits :( and i don't have a waffles :( this is also a reason for asking what.cd ;)

PS: on ScT i have 5+ ratio :)

if you are on sct, there's an invite thread in the general section of the forums for waffles.

[pone44]

ben99-That is what i thought.

Why not try that bourne?

yeah the thread is closed but you should still be able to get an invite.

[Funkin']

@Funkin, if you are so convinced that he will make a good member why don't you invite him?

I would if I had some invites. I never have any problems taking a chance on inviting a new member(I don't care what tracker it is), if the person seems descent. Which bourne does. I swear, some people act like trackers are their life or some shit.

And ben, I hope I'm not coming off as an ass, because that's not my intent. I think you're a pretty good member, so I'm not flaming you. All I'm saying is that just because he doesn't know very much about music formats and the such, does not necessarily mean he'll be a bad member.

soon he should be a member at waffles anyway.

[pone44]

You are a Good person Funkin. :D
