SceneSound - Country Ban

[MATEE100]

I wanted to enter the site today,and I got this message: "Sorry,your country (***) is not allowed,kthxbai. I got banned or what? What shall I do now? Thanks for any help.:ermm:

[Rikikii]

What shall I do now?

You should go out and play with friends.

Btw, which is that country?

[MATEE100]

Very funny.You should help first,and not mocking me.GTFO.

:D
Why?

[Veidenbaums]

Those country bans really sucks ><
Anyways, I'm sure you have friend who's from sweden and he's member there, ask him to join IRC (it's only for swedish chat?) and ask about this country ban thing. There's no support channel, maybe there is but there's no info about it on web site.

Seems that someone was faster than I :rolleyes:

[MATEE100]

Thanks Trustme and Veidenbaums! I wanted something like this! This country ban thing is really bad.And what,if an Israeli man want to listen that content what that site contains? I don't understand why it's important for the Staff.May it's better if they ban someone for cheating,etc. from enabled countries? Why can't a normal member from a banned country be a member? :sad1:

That list can't be 100% correct. I am living proof. :)

Isla de Muerte will never be banned anywhere. It's where every pirate retires one day.

But the country of the IP I use for connecting to that site is in that list, so it can't be fully correct. And to be honest, I'd be very surprised if it is, because that's simply too many major ones.

[MATEE100]

Then,where does he got this list from? Whatever.I will forget this site. :ermm:

[shipwreck]

Where are you from? Israel? Not that I support these kinds of bans, but they probably have banned a few countries that have a relatively high number of cheaters and traders. I don't think however that they have banned half of the world, like that list suggests.

Quote from Scenesound.

Hej!

Vi är nu uppe igen på en bättre och stabilare host. Det har också skett några förändringar i staff, ni kan se dessa här.

* RSS-flödet är uppdaterat och fixa. Det finns nu fler val innan ni genererar ett flöde.
* Donationssidan kommer att komma upp inom kort, mer information om detta när det närmar sig.
* Alla kan requesta och ladda upp.
* Några länder har bannats: .za .ch .ie .ar .mx .hu .tr .it .pl .il .ro .nz .sk .fo .sg .cn .ru .rs .de .gr .es .eg .br .pt

Sist, men absolut inte minst, registreringen är öppnad.

[shipwreck]

Hmmm. Then the ban doesn't seem to work properly. As I wrote earlier, the country of my IP is on that list.

A bit harsh to ban half of the world to be honest, I don't know what the point is either.

[Funkin']

I think those countries may be banned from the signup page now, since there are members from some of those countries still on the site.

Plus, I wouldn't be surprised if this site went totally nordic like softmp3 did. There are already members bringing this fact up in the forums. So I won't be getting too attached to this site at the moment.

[MATEE100]

I'm not from Israel,it was just an example.

[shipwreck]

But seriously, security can't be the reason for allowing Scandinavians only. They are obviously Scnadinavian themselves, they should be 'afraid' of Scandinavians rather, because it's Scandinavian anti-piracy groups (or authorities even) that can shut down their site, not foreigners. Doesn't make sense to me, but maybe I'm missing something.

[MATEE100]

They're just wasting their times with these rules :dry:

[Cabalo]

heh, don't bother trying to understand these scandinavian only trackers.
i've seen half of the world population is banned there, so why bother ?
it's a born failure.

[dr0w]

blame your cheating frinds :)

[shipwreck]

So only people from the rest of the world "cheat", Scandinavians don't? Think that's a bit naive, but whatever.

[cinephilia]

Btw, which is that country?


Where are you from?
don't bother asking, MATEE100 won't answer (he has something to hide) ;)

[shipwreck]

What could that be? You're not hiding in a cave somewhere near the Afghan-Pakistani border now MATEE100, are you?

[FACE_TO_FACE]

let this guys from scenesound.org alone.. when they don't want people from all this country's...


there are some better music trackers around, and they don't ban entire country's...


so... move on and forget :yup:

[Louie]

What could that be? You're not hiding in a cave somewhere near the Afghan-Pakistani border now MATEE100, are you?

Hungary:whistling


blame your cheating frinds:sick:

Just because we are from the same country doesent mean im friend with all the cheaters and i doubt there are so many cheaters especially on a few day openned tracker,plus I dont get it why didnt show that list before signup...anyway it works with proxy

[yayyyyyy]

So only people from the rest of the world "cheat", Scandinavians don't? Think that's a bit naive, but whatever.

yes, only ppl with slow connections (and as slow I refer also the .ro crappy international links ;) ) cheat :)

You know, this isn't 2001 anymore. There are fast connections available outside of Scandinavia, not to mention seedboxes.

[Louie]

You're still in the copper age,anyway i tought a tracker its about community where everybody help the person next to him and dont care about uber connections...

[shipwreck]

In addition to that, the internet is an international medium in principle, so it seems a bit odd, to say at the very least, to try to build artificial "borders".

[brightsid]

It is Their tracker,
and Their rules

[Louie]

It is Their tracker,
and Their rules

And we discuss them and their stupidity.:ermm:

[shipwreck]

Sure, that goes without saying. But since most of us here don't live in North Korea, we don't need to be afraid of uncle Kim, and can speak freely about our view on such "global" bans.

[patiesmiz]

The complete list of banned countries:


South Africa
Switzerland
Ireland
Germany
Spain
Portugal
Greece
Italy
Russian federation
Poland
Romania
Hungary
Slovakia
Turkey
Argentina
Mexico
Ecuador
Brazil
Israel
New Zealand
Singapore
China

and Rs and For, but dunno what thses acronyms mean

So it seems I would be banned there

[Louie]

:lol: so all german and spanish users are cheaters

[ovisan]

filemp3

Stop moaning about one single tracker

[MATEE100]

(he has something to hide)
No,I don't have nothing to hide,cine ;)
"You're not hiding in a cave somewhere near the Afghan-Pakistani border now MATEE100, are you?" :huh:

Hungary :yes:

[brightsid]

It's not about cheating. They decide from the beginning to go on only with Scandinavians. It's their right

[Louie]

It's not about cheating. They decide from the beginning to go on only with Scandinavians. It's their right

And reason would be?:wacko:

[MATEE100]

And if we made another site,we will keep out all of the Scandinavians :ermm:

[Cabalo]

It's not about cheating. They decide from the beginning to go on only with Scandinavians. It's their right

And reason would be?:wacko:
because none of them trade or cheat. :happy:
especially trade. :happy::happy:

[brightsid]

Probably the same as the old softmp3
http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/f-bittorrent-43/t-softmp3-turns-nordic--339040/?highlight=softmp3

[shipwreck]

That's not true though. Registrations were open to all users, not just Scandinavians, at least twice. And they actually emphasise that there are 6 different languages which the tracker supports.

But yes, it's their right to do whatever they want with the tracker. And it's our right to disagree with it, and not being able to see any sense in it.

Since when Mongolia and Zambia -plus a bunch of countries that are not banned- are nordic?

But not a big deal, just a few countries are banned, the rest of the world is quite bigger, so whenever ppl from Benin or Monaco -two examples- can upload torrents to the site they will have enough torrents to download :P

[Louie]

because none of them trade or cheat.
especially trade.

Yeah nordic users live in Heaven not Valhalla.


Since when Mongolia and Zambia -plus a bunch of countries that are not banned- are nordic?

They didnt botter to ban them because of the small number of internet users in those places,or at least ISP's.

And I suppose they didn't ban Canada and the USA for the same reason, unless al the Canadians and Americans are Scandinavians...

[Louie]

And I suppose they didn't ban Canada and the USA for the same reason

maybe donations:whistling

[shipwreck]

Well, the Vikings were the first to sail over to North America, so...

On the other hand, the forefathers of the natives came over Bering Strait, so they need to unban Russia ASAP.

[Lucifer9999]

I made the account 2 days ago, everything was fine, till tonight: "Sorry, your country (ro) is not allowed, kthxbai."
their decision, but they banned some countries randomly!!
i would have understood only 2 situations:
- turn nordic, allow only 4 5 nordic countries and ban all others.
- ban the countries which would have cause problems in the future!!
But they banned in a curious way! I would like to know the criterias for this thing!

[ovisan]

The funny thing is that you can choose German as a default language but Germany is on the banned list countries...

[Louie]

They ban the country not the language,maybe there are even nordics that want to speak in german.

[shipwreck]

DIE ARISCHE HERRENRASSE! JAWOHL!

Nah, I think they just banned Germany on accident. They probably confused it with East Germany, hell I would ban those commies!

[ovisan]

DIE ARISCHE HERRENRASSE! JAWOHL!


It wasn't me, it was Louie :happy:

What nordic country speaks German?... Switzerland and Belgium are not far north than Germany...

[shipwreck]

German is a relatively popular language in Scandinavia, many people can speak it. But it's not their native language, of course.

[Louie]

DIE ARISCHE HERRENRASSE! JAWOHL!

nazi pirate?


Nah, I think they just banned Germany on accident. They probably confused it with East Germany, hell I would ban those commies!

And how would you do it?trace all IP's from the east part of the country?


What nordic country speaks German?... Switzerland and Belgium are not far north than Germany...

I didnt say about native i say about the language they want to speak.

[shipwreck]

Your sarcasm detector is broken, brother Louie Louie Louie.

[FACE_TO_FACE]

u have also Austria and Switzerland for german language... :)

About this?well my brain its a little rusty at this moment thats all

They'll have to ban the german half of Swiss.

[shipwreck]

That, and the East German part. It was a sarcastic reply to your "the nordics may want to talk in German" remark - a few stereotypes came to mind. The East German part was pretty obvious though. No worries though, all good. :)

An internationalist like me can never be a Nazi.

[patiesmiz]

hahahaha

Austria, cos Switzerland is also banned.

Now I am wondering what will happen with all those nordic tourists who come massively to Spain to spend their holidays in the sun when they can't access 'their' tracker...
Or maybe we should just banned them from coming here to spend their long holidays, and problem sorted :P

[shipwreck]

Banning them completely would be a bit over the top though. I mean, you can still visit Scandinavia...I think. Banning IKEA would suffice. Especially that evil BILLY rack, that one is pure evil. Everbody I know who owns one is either a jerk, or cunning and vicious. Who names a rack BILLY anyway for God's sake?

Kill BILLY.

Mk...banning whole countries 'might' suck, but reading this entire thread about the banning of countries DOES suck. :stars:

Now trackers should be included in a tourism package.

Btw., this thread is exactly what global bans like that deserve.

Godwin's law reached after 6 pages.

congrats Louie! :hooray:

[shipwreck]

A real pity that they have implemented the 'global' ban, even if I'm personally not affected. This tracker is really emerging into a great one, the probability of it becoming a worthy successor to Softmp3 is high.

[Louie]

It works with proxy.

Isla del Muerte can be banned only by RIAA

[luckylittle]

.Cz (Czech Republic) is also banned

[mievmo]

SceneSound is sucks - Use eMule for music.

[MATEE100]

eMule :lol:

[Zaxx]

Isla del Muerte can be banned only by RIAA

erm...the riaa can ban who from what? :ermm:

[MATEE100]

And another banning wave on MusicVids :(

[Roooney]

:lol:

Sorry:)

[patiesmiz]

.Cz (Czech Republic) is also banned

It was not in the list

For music, soulseek ftw!! :)

[manu1991]

Soulseek is great for singles but it sucks when you are looking for collections/discographies

[MATEE100]

THE THREAD CAN BE CLOSED! I GOT BACK! :w00t:

[patiesmiz]

Soulseek is great for singles but it sucks when you are looking for collections/discographies

There are just a few sites that are good for collections/discographies since they are not allowed on most sites for music such as SceneSound, Scc, waffles or what. I have no prob with this, though, since I don't like collections/discos.

Anyways, soulseek has been and still is my main source for music in spite of I am on those trackers.

[cinephilia]

how come Egypt is not in the list? :O

[Louie]

how come Egypt is not in the list? :O

Doesent matter it works now.

[BethCooper]

Germany which you have talked so much about in this thread have never been banned from the site :O

That made me laugh so hard :P
I have a couple of those btw..

Same here (Spain), in spite of both countries were included in the list.

It can be closed now.It's working again.They picked out it to the HomePage (This banning rule) and they took it back.

[r_black]

Is the site down? I keep getting a connection refused error in chrome.

[Qlix]

Woah, mass-registrations going on over there now or what? lol xD

[Cabalo]

Is the site down? I keep getting a connection refused error in chrome.
if it's a 403 error, you IP is banned.

[Nobody_is_Here]

SceneSound is Offline actually...

[Rikikii]

It's now working fine for me.

[campodetenis]

Im still banned (mx)

[FACE_TO_FACE]

[MATEE100]

They decided it finally.
