wrong section buddy
i think thats the reasonQuote:
http://images.what.cd/pic/disclosure_down.pngInsane mass disablings, invites open again posted on 01/14/08 05:52AM by WhatMan We've run some insane disabling scripts the past few days, and disabled a bunch of other people manually. This has pushed the number of users down to almost 40,000, and, as a result, we've opened invitations again. Feel free to invite people, but remember that we disabled the bad users so that you can invite the good ones - in other words, make damn sure that your invitees are going to be valuable users - otherwise, your invites are at risk.
If you meet more than one of the following criteria, your account is at risk of being disabled.
Inactivity - non-power users/donors who haven't logged in for 6 weeks are getting disabled. People with bad ratios (ie. peons) that haven't logged in for two weeks are getting disabled. People who have created accounts but haven't ever logged in are getting disabled.
Dupe accounts - we disable both accounts in these circumstances. Extensive measures are taken to ensure that we don't catch roommates or relatives with the same IP addresses.
Bad ratio - Keep your ratio above 0.4, or you could very well be getting hit with the banstick any day now.
Hit and runs - Seed the torrents you download. Ratio farming off rosetta stone and hit+running everything else makes you a terrible user, in our books.
Being a moron - Trolling in the forums or IRC is extremely hazardous to your account.
Donating makes you exempt from the inactivity rule, but it does not make you immune from the dupe account, bad ratio, or H+R rules.
These criteria are subject to arbitrary change. Be a good user, and you can keep your account. If you aren't a good user, you'd better turn that around pretty quickly.
Sorry to post in the wrong section. Unfortunately i can´t get it to the right place, and anyway maybe this should be read by anyone applying for a what.cd invite, to be aware of what may happen.
And thanks to krunkstatic for answering.
Now I wonder how they discovered that, since i used another username and email account.
May i get the same result if i get another invite through this forum?. Anybody else went through the same?
Again any answer will be appreciated.
Edit: just read that you posted, John. Thank you. Unfortunately none of those was my case, since my account was disabled very few hours (maybe no more than 2) after activated. Had no time even to be inactive!!!!!
Btw... those scripts mentioned above... what is it about??
What.cd is pro at finding out people who get their invites over forums. Just saying.Quote:

Shit. And how to avoid that? Does it mean everyone who gets an account through this forum will get it disabled? If not, what have i done wrong?Quote:

They just disabled my account for inviting 2 people from here, with no chance of being enabled again from their irc
Too bad. How do you think they tracked you? I don't think this is usual, or else nobody would give invites around here.
Maybe a mod can move this to the general BT forum as it's not requesting an invite??
..but yes I've also gotten disabled for being invited from here. I would suggest no one use this route. You've either got to know someone personally or use their iRC channel. it's in their rules and that's that. :|
You got disabled because i got disabled (im the one who invited you) and got disabled because of that .:(
Really sorry, man. If i ever get into what.cd and can give it back to you, don't doubt i will.Quote:
