Re: Elektronik had BANNED Egypt
Like Stoi and BCG
ScL won't be banning any IP Ranges.
Can't have an entire country defined by those bad apples.

Re: Elektronik had BANNED Egypt
While I'm against banning countries in principle, I can understand why Elektronik felt they had to do what they did. I know other trackers have considered doing the same.
The problem with Egyptian members as I see it, is that trading, cheating and sharing accounts is such a widespread phenomena amongst them, that most Egyptians see it as the norm. All of these activities are done/encouraged every day in Egyptian forums (won't name any names, but every Egyptian member probably knows which forums I'm referring to), without any supervision/control, and this is finally coming back to bite them in their arses..

Honestly The best torrenter friends of mine are Egyptians, and my experience with them suggests that they are no cheater, at least they pay for seedboxes, uploading staff to rapidshare, mostly good members on the sites they are in. If they werent, staff wouldnt allow them to transfer some of their upload to other users now would they? There might be some bad apples, i agree, but still i havent run into any cheater Egyptian. Check Ftn or any other high lvl trackers, and see how many Egyptians are there, Honestly If they were bad users who trade cheat and have a site which informs them about how to cheat on sites, then they wouldnt make it that far, at least not all the Egyptians i know of, All the Egyptians i know have ftn fsc or any other high lvl tracker, if those people were to be bad users, would they manage to stay there? wouldnt staff ban them from those places as well? You have a point that some might be bad apples, but just because there is a Turkish forum that kinda helps people cheat on ratios doesnt mean we know the site or we would use it. Some people actually have the spirit of sharing. I understand why Elektronik has to do what they would do, but they could simply help good Egyptian users. Just as it is suggested, they might offer help to good egyptian uisers via irc if users wanted to they might contact staff et cetera, yet it is their calls...
edit: Also you are right they share accounts sometimes, Something from my personal experience: A friend of mine called Mohammed shared a TT account with me, I of course denied it at first thinking that it might get the account disabled, yet he checked it with tt staff before he shared info, at least this is what he told me then i used the account, anyway the point is even if they do such things like sharing et cetera, they first check it with staff, at least the ones i run into, So tell me is this guy a bad user? He talks to staff before he acts, he confirms it then assures me that account wont get disabled, then i start using, seeding, buffering tha account. I dont think this qualifies as a bad user now does it? After all, it all depends on what is a good user or bad user really.

i also have a great friend from egypt, i couldn't agree more with you

Re: Elektronik had BANNED Egypt
of course there are good egyptians users, no one deny it...
but the fact is that most of them are cheaters/traders/sellers (on elektROnik at least) so there's no point in blaming staff decision.

An absolutely perfect example of the attitude which brings about IP bans, and this was in some way supposed to help the argument? You have only reinforced it, and proven what others are saying.

Re: Elektronik had BANNED Egypt
I don't believe in a blanket ban, but then, I am just a user. Tracker's staff would see the situation differently, and that I understand.

Re: Elektronik had BANNED Egypt
The being members of cheating/trading forums argument is vague germany too has its own thriving cheating forums and they are still on these trackers(no names)
mass punishment for the mistake of a few is never fair no matter what the argument..

It is NOT a few, ask the administrators of any site you care to name except those highly valued for rarity. This is not meant as a punishment, to think that is not to take the wider perspective, it is simply a decision by the staff of the tracker to reduce the workload produced by an unreasonable amount of cheating/trading from one countries IP ranges. Egypt is one of the countries that trackers have banned over time because of excessive cheating/trading, there are others. You forget it is their tracker and if the staff wish to reduce the workload by banning IP ranges causing excessive amounts of cheating or trading then they have every right to do so. We as members are only guests.

Re: Elektronik had BANNED Egypt
I totally agree with what Artemis said. If you think staffers want to ban a range, you're wrong. Most staffers want more members, and are forced to ban ranges when the situation becomes unbearable. Most staffers want to develop their sites, not to spend time, energy and stress themselves out due to certain selfish individuals.
If you're an Egyptian, and you think your country deserves better, don't come complaining to staffers who are being forced to take these measures. Instead, go back to your local forums, explain to others what they're doing wrong, educate them on what's acceptable and what's not in the file sharing community, help grow a generation of Egyptian file sharers who will think beyond sharing accounts/trading/cheating.

someone please tell me he is not a staff at ftn. Another experience time, I have both traders and non trader friends, anyway i asked my Egyptian friend whether it was possible or not to recruit my trader friend into a tracker that he might get him into. Yet it turns out, no matter how good or asset that trader can be, he didnt allow a trader to be in, if Egyptians trade and cheat, i assume they would kinda be sympathetic to traders and cheaters right? Yet they are not. Really weird

Re: Elektronik had BANNED Egypt

Everyone cant be bad.
Its like saying all Americans are stupid weed-smoking idiots, who like to argue. And banning them all for it. But course you wont, because they have great internet speeds.

So you're saying Americans are all, in fact, stupid weed-smoking idiots, who like to argue, yet they won't be banned because of their great internet speeds, I see. Great way of solidifying your argument about everyone not being bad, well done. Racist.
