bitmetv staff is the worst
even more then oink :|
fu*ck'em
yeah, i never understood why oinkers always get the "worst staff" oscar on fst, they are angels compared to bitmetv bunch.
Never had any run ins w/ oink staff but i must say the Bitmetv bunch were good to me.. I was invited by a cheater, still have an account. I inivted someone from FST "cheater", talked w/ am admin there..Still got my account...I guess talking in a calm rational way helps a lot and not acting like a dumabass.......
phren, I guess such things are random on bitmetv , or you were very lucky. I'm pretty sure that if the things you've mentioned are heard by a wrong mod, you will say bye bye to your bitmetv account , and even a payment for reinstation won't be offered in this case , though it is offered on a regular basis for enabling poor ratio accounts . Again I'm wondering where does the money go, considering their poor and luggy server .
mievmo since when israel have 10Mb connection???
for what I know 8Mb is the most, could it be I didn't hear anything about it?
or is it a private srever you'he got there?
here is my speed record, made in israeli university though

The decision to ban most ranges from Israeli ISP's wasn't an easy one but in the end it had to be done and bitmetv doesn't regret it. Over 90% of the cheats that were caught were from israel (at that time) and as its a manual process it was taking way too much of the staffs time. Users from israel who proved they were innocent i.e. could have others vouch for them on other trackers or had a good standing in the community were let thru the ban - most got a static IP while a few who weren't able to were asked to come into irc everytime their IP changed (every couple of weeks) and the range ban was adjusted.
Once this had been done to trusted members the opportunity was given to others if they could get a static IP. This didn't work out too well coz most of these others started cheating again (100+) - bitmetv then started asking for a small donation hoping that this would keep the real cheaters out and only those who took their account seriously would consider it. This only lasted a couple of days as bitmetv was accused for trying to make money out of the whole israel incident.
As for the "poor and luggy server" comment - jus read thru the announcement forum and you'll see that new servers have been bought and bitmetv has changed hosts. There were a couple of teething problems initially with the server and the new host. Currently the site lags a bit from time to time as more improvements are made to the code as well as from the occasional DDOS.
It had reached 100+ israel cheats a day. We put up with it for 6 months. So thats 100 x 30 days x 6 months that makes 18 000 cheaters We had no choice and the MAIN reason was not that it was israel. It was that that all the ip's were dynamic, so they would sign up AGAIN the next day and do it all again. We do have quite a few .il users still :) Those users took the trouble and time to get a static ip :) so we could allow them through ;) and as for this Thats the biggest load of crap I have ever heard. WE DO NOT unban for money.
fatma, they and you are a liar. Ask anyone around about my honesty. ANY site you like and I bet they will vouch for me. But I know what I said. Someone else saying it is purely rumour.
I'm right behind u seppypom.
Edit:
I forgot to mention: I'm Israeli.
Erm, you would be a lot more convincing if your own mod hadn't admitted it just before your first post ...
As for reputation, I don't know about you personally (although this thread certainly isn't casting you in a good light considering the above), but let's be honest, Bitmetv staff does not have the best reputation. Take userdetails.php?id=7107 at ScT, a 10TB uploader (banned at bitmetv for supposedly trading invites) was pissed off enough to make "Bitmetv Lies" a prominent part of his profile. Somehow, I seriously doubt he would need to trade to get invited places.Quote:

What Mareko said what not what bitmetv did. It was what a couple of mods said to see how keen they actually were to get in. I should note no money changed hands and it was a purely an excercise to make people go away and to stop asking for us to unban .il. It was a bit of a mistake on their part and the 2 staff that said it .. said it for 2 days well over a year ago. So I still stand by what I said and that we DO NOT uban ip's for money and have NEVER done and I have NEVER EVER said I will.
i don't get it really
bitmetv staff has the right to block anyone they don't want it in
they block isreal and egypt and some countries so be it
we as users why making all this fuss about it?!
it just a tracker there are many more welcoming us
I've never said that my wet dream is bitmetv wants all israelis , egyptians, eskimos etc. back . Vice versa , I always say that I will be a member of those sites that want me there , and will never be an active member of those that apply any kind of ban on the population I belong to .
But I am always glad to give my view , to discuss and to making fun of this "let's ban everyone" (and not only) policy .
Peace everyone, join other wonderful and friendly TV trackers (there are a couple of them that don't sell your bandwith :D)
ppl should really stop bitching about it. its BitmeTV right to ban anyone they see fit. seeing as Israel has a major cheating problem i don't condemn their choice to ban out Israel. Before TiT was shutdown he also had major problem with "them" in cheating. i banned at least 5 a day bez of that. that is allot off effort and work devoted to one particular country i see no problem banning Israel when we opens our door again
It is a free service that they provide. Then you say it's pay to leech but no body FORCES you to donate...Yet the large majority cheat/trade for again a FREE service...It seems to be common theme in a few forums...There are good users in that country and sadly they get screwed....I choose to donate on sites that I like because I want to not because I am forced to. Being a business owner I know that my time is worth money and I see a lot of time an effort but into the site..Just move on, find another TV site and get over it...Seems like there a better things to complain about........
Oh, I was about to stop trolling, and then I saw you , my little friend :D
AFAIK you are from Norway . zomg, from all the users I've invited to oink, 2 cheated : one is from norway (btw, he is now a VIP at norbits) , and the second one is from the uk . The only israeli I invited was banned for a poor ratio . But I still can't believe how did it happen that my norwegian invitee cheated . What a shame for a nordic country with blazing upload speeds . I think he only wanted to "fix" a little bit his ratio, since it is hard to make a good one there .
BTW, as far as I remember , you are an 31337 member of bitme . Have you ever thought about downloading any of their english grammar torrents ? I'm sure it will help you .
As for bitmetv : I have never had a need in this tracker and its content . I only watch tv eps like x-files and lost , but I'm not that dumb to get them on bitmetv . Other trackers either offer them for free, or I have good chances to seed them back (or both of them) .
As for donations , p2l etc . Why is it a problem to discuss it ? Even on ScT there was a huge thread about that .
I'll tell you a little story about a man , who donated to bitmetv when he joined (for upload amount, yeah). I guess bitmetv loved his donation . And then , after he became a PU there , he invited someone . And then , this someone became a leech, and got banned . Lets make a little pause in the story, and recall oink and its "dreadful" staff . What happens on oink when you invite a leech ? Nothing, he gets banned, and you move on , like nothing happened . It is even good sometimes to invite leeches, since they help other members to make a ratio on trackers where too hard to seed . What happened to our man on bitmetv ? The download amount of the leech he ivited was added to his download amount , and now he has some problems with his ratio . I guess bitmetv loved his first donation, and here is the simple solution to his pain : donate again, buy the upload amount, and the problem is gone . Again, no one forces you to "donate" :D
HIIII, my name is fatma, and I'm from the interwebz :D
I'm a peer from Israel, nothing more .
ORLY ? Then Israel pwns Norway, I have 64 KB/s upload speed at home, and it's really cheap . I bet that IL cheaters that you catch are 12-20 year old stupid brainless kiddos that don't even know that there is a connection with upload speed greater then 16 KB/s and it's cheap :D May god forgive them for their stupidity :D
nothing is cheap in norway
Not all isreali members are bad, but since hundreds of thousands of them have already made a bad name for the rest of the good isreali members, its easier for a site to ban the country and never worry about it again, rather then picking off dozens of cheating and trading isreali members each day. If i ran a tracker, i would probably ban Isreal without hesitation.
Do you think it's that hard to avoid the IP ban ? or even find a proxy which bitmetv has no chance to detect ? IMO , the IP ban is NOT effective on a bit experienced cheater . And if and when bitmetv find him, they don't even know that he is from israel , egypt or timbuktu . But the ip ban is much more effective on honest users .
I guess he didn't read the part of the rules that says if you invite a leech, you get his download. It's a private site, if you don't like it, don't join. It's a shame .il has such a bad reputation - it's not BitMeTv that's to be blamed for the .il ban, it's the .il users who cheated that caused it. And you are right, they catch the ones that can't get around it; that is the honest ones so the ones that cheat screw the ones that don't.
I am still wondering why no-one has scroll back to read my post where I said how we hadn't banned all of israel and I know quite a few israel members on bitmetv.
Kinda makes this whole thread pointless don't you think?
Here's one happy representative.Quote:
