This happened a while ago but I want to ask this anyway :).
One day I just couldn't login to my BitmeTV account and it seams that I got banned from the site? I have no idea of what could have happened I mean, I didn't do anything wrong and I took care of the account :(.
Can someone help me or give me some tips cause I really want to get in there again.
Is it possible to talk to the staff on the IRC and sort it out ? :(.
irc://irc.bitmetv.org/bitmetv
what did it show when u tried to log in? if it was this account has been disabled you were banned, if it says username or password incorrect means it was deleted, inactvity maybe
403 ForbiddenQuote:

How could I get banned for doing nothing :(?
Can I reason with the staff u think?
i wouldnt think so but could try did you invite a cheater or cheat etc?
I gave the account to a friend who promised to take care of it for a while and then I got it back and I couln't even access the frontpage. :(.Quote:

yeah, the friend used your account doesn't matter it was another ip, as to not being able to access the front page, either your cookies are telling them who you logged in as last time and that why or they store your ips, it should stop in a while
Ok I'll do that and hopefully it will get all sorted out :).Quote:

i dont think you got banned when i got ban form any site it tell me that
this account has been disabled
Why shouldn't you get punished for letting a idiot use your account?Live and learn i guess.
403 error means you have fallen in an IP range block.
Your account has definetely not been banned.
All you have to do is restart your router untill it gets another IP out of their IP range block.
I could check your alias if you wish, to tell you if it's banned but I am sure it is not.
I am sure you live either in Israel or in Egypt.
I'm from scandinavia so it's weird but I'm gonna try getting a new ip.Quote:

Usually an IP ban is when a user is banned for cheating.
Giving your account for someone else to use is against the rules on lots of sites.
When accounts are disabled they can be for minor offences/inactivity. But this does not restrict you from signing up again.
But an IP ban is done in severe cases where they do NOT want you to sign up again.
I have banned IPs for cheating, abusing etc. prevents them from coming back, unless they get a new IP that is!
Αs I 've said 403 means IP range ban and not that they have banned your own account.
Another user in your region cheated before and they banned some IP range in order to prevent him from coming back.
Unforunately that affects you as well even if you haven't done anything illegal with your own account.
If you manage to get a new IP out of the IP range block you will be able to access your account again.
It happens to me a lot of times at the bitspyder tracker, where they have banned half of the IPs of the world...
Jeeze - is it that hard to join their irc channel and just ask?
It's your account - you are responsible. Giving your account to someone else is also against their rules.
):):):):):)
let me know what happens im interested :P
Hahah ok sounds like the staff are ex-KGB :).
FFS why IP range ban :P... Sounds like a lot of trouble to get in but I've been doing some seeding this week but I'll try the coming week to get me a new ip :).
And enough about the responsibility posts ok :D.
