i'd rather suggest to get flac or mp3@320 rips from torrents.ru or any of the numerous ddl boards & blogs available on the net and upload them on what.cd.
his warm welcome here was me immediately disabling his privileges. :rolleyes:Quote:

He clearly showed he isn't here to mess up or be a troublemaker, and none of his intentions show he wants to convert more users to the "darkside".
Actually, his contributions have been far more positive than many users around here, with minded opinions on many different subjects.
I'm not defending him, as he is grown up enough to defend himself, but the fact is we have no reason to ban him whatsoever.
If he wants to cheat, that's his problem. If he wants to be gay, that's his arse hole's problem.
Simple.
I was referring to the welcome he got from FST members, I think he was called a genius by one and others were so nice to him he started one of his posts by saying something like 'thanks for the nice words'. I really wasn't expecting that sort of reaction to him.Quote:

Like it or not, cheating is an aspect of BT, just like trading is. Whereas they are discussions up to debate on the topic of trading, there are topics that can be discussed about cheating as well. Just because cheating is frowned upon, does that mean it shouldn't be discussed? Should the topic of criminal justice not be discussed because crimes are frowned upon?
It never hurts to have a primary account from the people themselves. You simply can't have a complete picture or an unbiased conversation on trading if the only people who are allowed to reply are non-traders. What kind of a lopsided debate would that be? anon-sbi provides an another unique perspective that can easily contribute to a discussion - whether you approve of it or not.
As others have said, I haven't seen anything negative from anon, and he has proven to be a very active and helpful member here. Like idol mentioned, he has managed to contribute quite a bit here, and unless he purposely prances about promoting cheating in order to flame threads and cause chaos, I don't see any reason not to treat him as simply any other member on this board. I may not condone his tracker activity, but that's irrelevant - they're related to the trackers he is on and their respective staff - not with this board.
Find somewhere in my posts where I say that the subject of cheating shouldn't be discussed or that cheaters shouldn't take part in those discussions. It is the admiration for this guy that I find strange.
And saying that anyone affiliated with that type of behavior should be greeted with hostility isn't?
He's been posting productively and hasn't caused any trouble. I don't see any reason he wouldn't be greeted with "open arms". I don't judge him for it, this is a forum, not a tracker.
Yes this is a forum and its about filesharing and to my mind cheating on trackers is the antithesis of sharing so I can definitely see a big reason for him not to be greeted with "open arms".Quote:

How do you know I don't do my best to share legitimately regardless of cheating, which is the case? I may cheat, but that's mostly a last resort when torrents just don't seem to seed, not a way to have ratio requirements not apply and be able to leech for free.Quote:

Thanks fot the advices about What.CD building ratio, I may get some FLAC/V0/V2/320 rips from original sources soon.
