Agreed, but considered the fact many of those .ro speed tests have been made to servers on the same country?
It's not anymore like 4-5 years ago when 100 Mbps was available only with peers from Romania, and with the rest of the world the connection was 10 Mbps.
These days, the most basic connection has 50 Mbps with the rest of the world, and 100 Mbps with romanian peers. And you pay 10 euro / 13 dollars for it.
And arround 16 euro / 20 dollars for the full 100 Mbps worldwide
Like i said, never was the internet speed a reason to ban Romania, like some trackers said like: we banned .ro users because they have shitty peering with the rest of the world, and 100 Mbps with them. Since the first private trackers, arround 2004 if i am not wrong, romanians had one of the best internet speeds from the world.
But, where they not exced, are donations to trackers. And who could blame them... And when you have those internet speeds, you don't have to pay for gb upload for example.
Re: How come the United States of America is not banned from any private tracker?
If they have those types of speed why do most (i am not saying all) cheat? (thats why we ban ro from signing up, its got nothing to do with their internet connections being garbage or not).
PS: its got sod all to do with donations like i said in my previous post, we get lots of donations from members from Brazil, but we still ban them from signing up, because the vast majority cheat/trade/sell.
and this isnt the reason we dont ban USA and i have just looked at this, but this is an eye opener
Visitors by Country for Blackcats-games.net
United States 25.1%
Mexico 11.0%
India 7.7%
Russia 6.4%
China 6.0%
United Kingdom 4.8%
Canada 4.5%
Sweden 3.7%
Germany 2.8%
Chile 2.3%
If we banned the USA we would loose most of the members so about 11,000 members would just go poof!!!
Re: How come the United States of America is not banned from any private tracker?
Even if those members from USA do something wrong like cheat/sell/trade nothing will happen why? because all trackers need 'em and need donations that coming from 'em, nothing special we talking about needs then immunity :).
Re: How come the United States of America is not banned from any private tracker?
before we banned countries romania included but first it was Brazil, we would open up, lets say we got in 3,000 new members (we were getting in 6,000-8,000 a day at our peak) 75% would be from Brazil, and most of those would not be very good users (trade/sell/cheat/lots of dupes). the amount of complaints i have had from the staff over the years and pleading for me to ban them is silly, thats how bad it was, even a staff member that lived in Brazil pleaded with me to ban the country from signing up, thats how bad it was.
Now lets say we ban everyone but the USA and UK, 75% USA would get in 25% UK would get in, but we may get 50-100 members all told from those countries (out of 3000 total), cheating/trading/selling/dupes etc etc.
No one is saying that the USA/UK doesnt have bad members, of course they do, its just the % is a hell of a lot less than some other countries (Brazil/Romania/Egypt/Israel) to name 4.
and like i said we probably get more donations % wise off members from Brazil than we do from the USA.

Re: How come the United States of America is not banned from any private tracker?
Here's a theory.
Let us assume first of all, as I am too lazy to look for supporting numbers to reference, (but still I think a safe assumption), that the vast majority of commercially available media is produced in America.
It is no secret that US media companies cater to American interests, in so far as that is the economic demographic that hollywood and murdoch media aim their products to. So, we can also assume that the vast majority of the easily reproduced media will be of American interest.
Let us now frame that with the fact that the US has a, per capita, much wider ability to afford/access the internet. Combined with the fact that the US has the longest history with integrating their internet into their life, and we start to see a pattern.
Attachment 64889 (from: http://www.internetworldstats.com/stats.htm )
Now if we throw in some more localized factors like the growing gap between the lower class and the upper class in America, the lower income majority having grown discontent with paying on a price structure that is aimed at a rapidly dying middle class, we get a majority who would rather get their media for free than pay those ridiculous prices that can mean alot of difference in quality of living.
So, the eventual outcome of granting all these factors leads me to postulate that, while Romania has orsum speeds and stuff, the amount of traffic coming from there still pales in comparison to the amount of traffic coming from the USA, and in my opinion, as well as demonstrated by the stats stoi posted, leads me to decide that the VAST majority of torrenters are american, which brings us to the self-destructiveness of banning the US from most trackers, not including foreign language, and foreign content trackers.

I've seen this general subject, that of banning countries from trackers, discussed on a variety of BT-related forums and private trackers; and the primary reason given by tracker staff has always been the exorbitantly high percentage of bad users to good ones from the banned country. The problems caused by these bad users are what drive the staff to take drastic actions such as a blanket ban on a country.
All these other speculative theories, especially the ones from people upset with the recent or past bans, are just that: speculation. They sound more like venting or poorly concealed gibes than reasons based on facts.
And to answer the OP: We seed our shit and follow the rules, that's why.

Just like the Geneva Convention.

You are a fucktard and obviously haven't read the whole thread...Or you are simply a hater. Either way you are an asshat, imo.
Being that I am American I take stupid ass comments like that personally.

Remembering one of your recent threads I would say it takes one to know one. But being that I am a romanian like the person whose comment you quoted above, I don't take stupid ass comments like that personally.
