You were pm'ed and contacted several times about the keyword. If you didn't see it then it's totally your own fault unfortunately!

Then whose else fault could it have been if not mine????
Thanks for stating the obvious
my account also disbled...
is there any way to regain it...????
not atm
If the PMs were as reliable as BCG confirmation emails, then it may not be the user's fault at all :shifty:Quote:

LoL
Stoi ftw!!!
i have never once deleted any pm's from bcg since i like to keep all old pm's on sites i use and i dont have any pm's about this in my box so they may have tried to send a mass pm but it certainly didnt make it to everyone. not a big deal to me since i got it re-enabled already but im sure there are a lot of good users who just skip over announcements. hope they have a solution for this other then just saying "too bad".
I like to think that I am one of those good users being an upstanding member of several elite trackers (sct whore, ftn hero, etc). I cannot say definitively whether I did or did not get such a pm but I am sure that I certainly don't recall anything of such, I mean how hard could it have been to generate a keyword?
Anyway if I am infact at fault then I am willing to pay the penalty so I guess time to get let the chips fall where they may.
EDIT: what I find strange though is that I am disabled by all of my torrents are still seeding and I have no intention of stopping them until there are no more leechers even though I may never get the benefit of the upload credit being gained.
I'm sure there are a lot of honest, good, users who did get disabled for this. But you got nobody to blame for this but your selves. Checking the home page of whatever tracking your visiting is not hard, and it only takes up a few seconds of your time. 23k users getting disabled for this is just pathetic. Stoi gave more than enough time for every member of the site to click on one link, and generate a word.
Agree to a pointQuote:

Ok, after finally getting IRC working on the linux distro I am using, I decided to hop unto bcg irc knowing well in hand that I may come across a hostile mod.
Let us just say it wasn't pretty but I guess he must have been bambarded all day
seanbee - I got pretty much the same treatment. Unfortunate, but it seems that bcg is heading down the lame path.
~sigh, but if anyone used BCG for nintendo/wii/nds torrents, drop me a PM an i'll invite you to NT - a much better site for nintendo stuff and a site that won't disable you for being an active member, keeping up a good rap and accidently missing a few announcements.
To be perfectly honest you seemed like the rude one seanbee. I'm taking no sides but the mod looked like they were just playing and you were being plain rude.
Yea...10 Pages of Complaints....
You know what I say...Fuck 'em...
If you want an invite, to bitgamer, similar to blackcats, except they won't stab you in the back, then all I ask is a PM of your e-mail address.....
----------------------
Was this announcement a forced msg or was it posted in the 'news' or 'forum' area? I log onto bcg at least once a week and have never seen anything about a key word...and yes, I was disabled as a result.
Anything that can get you banned deserves nothing less than a forced message at log on so all users are sure to see it. If it was declared in a forced msg, my bad..but I don't know how the hell I could miss it.
I don't do IRC so I guess I'll pm stoi..I'm sure he's gonna love getting 1,000,000 pms about this..lol. :ermm:
Edit: I hear there was a reminder posted at the top of each page..so, like I said..my bad. :shutup:
Well, After I was waiting around the IRC waiting room for a while. A nice mod comes up and helped the more patient people getting their accounts re-enabled.
So, all it requires is just to be nice and patient. He'll get around to you eventually. There are nice mods around there.
And just to state the obvious. Don't PM them. Anyone would be annoyed if they get 20+ PMs at the same time. It doesn't help you get your account reactivated any faster.
I'm back in and very happy. Time to celebrate :)

no way you couldn't have noticed unless you don't use the site...
I wonder where stoi is ...
Hes been missing for a while...
Man I hope there is someway I can get my account re-activated. How many people were actually successful at this I wonder??
Big ass red text at the top of every page until you dismissed it, also on the front page, a whole thread here etc etc.
No one to blame but you for losing your accounts.
ha
go to the bcg irc be nice and patient
i.e kiss some ass but don't leave lipstick marks?
Do you wait in the #waitingroom?
If your disabled go to #disabled and wait for an admin to PM you...
they wont re-enable any account i guess
They will and they have already re-enabled some
There are some fellow Hungarian users who got disabled, and desperate enough. Is it the proper thread for them to ask for reactivation of their respective accounts? Me not a gamer, just try to help them...
I am on the disabled channel on their irc, but no news. :(
The best anyone can do at the moment is visit the IRC I'm afraid :ermm:Quote:

What's the best way to reenable my account?
How do I join the irc chanel?
It's been a long time since I haven't used any irc client, so any help would be nice.
Thanks
Everyone had been enabled for 1 WEEK, you have to generate your keyword in that period of time or else you get deleted, not disabled!
To generate your keyword, go login, and then click on your name in the top to go to your user details page, and there is a red link that says Generate My Key Word, it's impossible to miss. This is the last chance for everyone!
Sorry for the annoying bold guys, we just don't want this ever happening again...
one week from now you will still have tons of people coming on complaining about how they were given no notice and want their accounts back... asking how they can get into the IRC etc etc etc
i really thought BCG was gonna stand their ground and hold firm but you guys have appeared to bend to the noobs....
so after 1 week they will just come to IRC to get re-enabled?? probably.
Unfortunately Raban is correct. You just know in a week another thread like this one is going to be created. But this does go to show how nice the BC staff can be.
Nope, in one week the ones who didn't generate a keyword will be deleted from the database, not disabled, and there's zero hope for anyone deleted...
