What.cd Account Disabled

Hi people,

having already read through a few of these threads I know that some of you aren't going to be at all pleased to see another one, especially as I signed up just to do this, but frankly there isn't much else I can do so apologies in advance.

Anyway, I managed to get a what account just a couple of days ago, I login today, hit up the freeleech and all's going well. A bit later when I go to have another browse around the site I find myself disabled and I assume it's for hitting up the freeleech very hard (which admittedly I have done).

However, in IRC I'm told that I am a cheater and will not be enabled and when I ask I'm also told that there is no way for me to argue this, so I just left immediately on reflection maybe not the best idea especially since I don't have a support e-mail address for them or anything.

Anyway a bit of googling brings up this forum as the one where others in my situation see to go so here I am. I hope that someone can at least give me more information on my alledged cheating, but ideally I'd rather have an actual discussion and my account back.

Or does anyone think I should just go back to the disabled channel and try to speak to someone else, or the same guy more? I do feel I might have walked out too soon, but if the guy already seems to have made up their mind, plus I've read that they can be "hard-arses" (although the interviewer I had was really nice).


Anyway, thanks for reading, I'd appreciate any advice anyone can give and apologies again to anyone who hates these threads.

Two in a row! :w00t:

The same I wrote here applies:

You even show up in jderu's screenshot.

Ha.
That's kind've amusing. Yeah I watched him get glined, a large part of the reason I left there so quickly since I'd just wiki'd it and I really don't fancy it.
Ah well, I guess I just have to be patient then, thanks for the quick reply though Anon-sbi.

Good luck with getting your account re-enabled. WhatMan solves most cases, and if you didn't cheat your ratio, you just might get your account re-enabled.

Thanks Slickerey, I've got my fingers crossed.

Being disabled at What.cd, Isn't the end of the world.
There's a lot of good music trackers out there, go look In the thread for open signups, I'm sure you'll find something tasty there.

Very true. Delete W.CD .torrent files from your client, change your IP, get an invite sent to a new email address and sign up with a different username.

So apart from telling him how to get back in before there's even a reply from their staff, you skip the steps that will actually prevent him from getting disabled again? :blink:

Thanks for trying to help (I think?) but that isn't really what I'm going for here. I mean first off, I'd like my account not a new one and since I would also quite like to be vindicated of being told that I'm a cheater I really don't think that cheating my way back in would be the right way to go about it.
If they decide to uphold their judgement then in a way that's fine, in that there will be F-all I can do about that, I'll be pissed but I'm also not then going to turn around and make them right.

So yeah, I'm going to just sit tight for a bit until someone sees this then if it doesn't get cleared up I guess I'll be taking LubTheStaringCat's advice and begin regularly trawling the open signups thread for trackers, though since What is 1.) fucking massive and 2.) generally stated to be the (current) king of music trackers I suspect it'll likely feel a little bit second place. Although on the other hand I really can't know that until I'm there :blink:.

Also I have the consolation that I wasn't there for any real amount of time and I had managed to get a lot of FLACy goodness onto my HDD already.

Also, I've been looking at Jderu's thread and I thought about posting loads of screens, but I don't really know how that helps and I didn't take any at the time so....
However, in the interests of completeness and due to something I saw there I'm going to state the only "weird" things I did yesterday whilst connected to What.
1.) Since my laptop spazzed out slightly the night before and had to be restarted, after which it appeared to be reporting some anomalous uploading (this is just according to a sidebar widget thingy, I have no idea if it qualifies as a good source) I downloaded an briefky ran a program called "wireshark" because some post in some thread on some forum (dunno, blame google) said it would inform me as to what programs are doing what, networky-wise. It did not. Or it may have done - it spewed fuck tons of numbers, quite a lot of which appeared to be colour coded. All of that means nothing to me so I stopped it.
2.) Now this is the main thing, as influenced by this post: http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/p-wha...33/postcount33, that has brought about all this. A lot of the torrents went red, and whilst they where still working I don't like that so when ever utorrent lets me I tell it to update them and also stop and start them a lot. It normally seems to work, at least most of the time thye go green straight after. I do this all the time and I've never had any trouble before though so if I've been doing something really fucking stupid please let me know.

Apart from that: clueless, I browsed the net, I DL'd from other places, I played some music, I explored what. Those are the only things I can think of, one very unusual (at least for me) and the other affecting the tracker.

PS I also changed the utorrent advanced settings to allow more half open Tcp/ip things, but I can't actually remember if that was before or after.

By all means, go to their IRC and plead your case. Just so you know, staff go by guilty until proven innocent - this is proven just by lurking in their IRC for 20 mins, or reading countless posts. In which case you now know what to do.

There are many alternative to W.CD. But none of them will ever be W.CD.
