Maybe cos he typed the words, and not you or me.
Re: ScT banning Polish IP's too
Actually TL didn't ban all israeli IPs.
Unfotunately, I can understand the trackers' position, I personally, don't know a SINGLE person in real life who hasn't cheated (why I don't invite people). Cheating has become a plague, and the only way I can see for a site to get rid of cheating is closing invites and ban them slowly.
These IP bans are not the solution as they also prevent honest members from joining.

Oh, really?
How come that with my lousy internet connection from Israel, I manage to seed enough to maintain a good ratio even without cheating?
It's just the idiotic Israeli mentality, I so deeply hate, that the worst thing is to be a sucker, and do something, even if you don't have to.
People like you are the reason we get IP bans. If you had the will you could've seeded enough, by just limiting a 10 kb/s on your client, without bothering your internet surfing and still seed over 6GB per week, that is assuming you don't raise the cap at nights. If you download more than that per week, it's your problem that you decided to download more than a game + several movies per week.

I never said I know everyone, but if I know around 20 people who use private trackers in my country, and every single one of them cheats, I guess it does tell something about my country...
Re: ScT banning Polish IP's too
Trust a cheater from a country whose IP's have been banned to say he doesn't know an honest person.:blink:
Up until recently I nievely thought that cheating was in the minority.:angry: But looking recently I guess not.
Oh well more invites available for us HONEST guys. :w00t::w00t::w00t:

As much as I hate to admit it, it was the truth:(, and maybe some statistics from tracker admins can back it up. And I have NEVER cheated, so please don't tell me I'm a cheater...

There is no justification for cheating. If you don't have a nice connection and can't seed back (more like don't want to seed back, since slow connections only means more time seeding.. it's doable) then either buy a seedbox, or stick with public sites, or even better, get newsgroups (then you don't have to worry about your slow connection and resort to cheat).
I'm not in favor of banning entire countries for some bad apples, but I'm not staff, and it's obvious this problem is consuming too much time and effort to staffers and in the balance this was a better solution than individual banning.... I guess.

Re: ScT banning Polish IP's too
This thread has gone too far. ScT is entitled to enforce any rule they wish. It's their site, their wishes. If you don't like their rules, leave 'em. I may not agree with the rule, but it's not up to me to decide.
This thread is now locked.. Rules are there, so just abide by them and don't invite Israelis/Polish people in if they don't want them. Simple.
