Thought I was being nice by holding a giveaway contest for a WhatCD invite. The guy gave me 2 proofs as well as a speedtest(like that shit really matters).
I go to log on today, and BAM my account is disabled.
I guess you live and learn the hard way, but that will be the last time I do that again.
try to talk with staff and explain it to them
well everyone is learning on their mistakes next time be more careful who will u invite
and btw go to their IRC and talk with them ;)
This why people should not give invites out to the public, invite who u know!!
well i hope you learn frm your misstake and good luck getting it back.
Welcome to the club.:(
Not more giveaways for me, never. If I see somebody wants an invite to a site and I have it, and if I know the guy, and after checking as deep as I can his background, only then IŽll give him/her an invite, and if the site allows it, IŽll be with an eye on him/her.
Same thing happened to me, disabled my account because i gave away invites here, which is against their rules apparently.
Looks like it's Bah-Bye account. It seems as this is their policy, which I had no clue about.
I guess Waffles it is:dry:
i really dont think that u have been disabled just because u invited some guy,what he could do in that short time?? also when u have give that invite that u think its was the reasone for your disabled acc??Quote:

Forumas, one day is more than enough... the guy I invited to BitMeTV was cought cheating in the very first day. And as I know his connection speed, no doubt about it.Quote:

i rarely give away invites to who i dont know, last time my invitee got disabled in 18 secs, so im more cautious now...
agree.Quote:

i, unfortunately, also invited a cheater into BitMe before. he did manage to upload, rather cheat, 80GB/day using 512kbps connection that he showed me in his speedtest.:( but i was totally new to all this private tracker thing then so even though i may never have my BitMe invites back, at least i've learned something.
Everyones had these experiences, inviting trader, cheater whatever. Thats why im never going to do public giveaways again. I invited a guy into TD and within a day, cheated to 60tb upload... lucky for me my account did not suffer.
Sorry to hear that bud. I'm pretty sure someone will hook you up with another invite when they are open again.:)
Im the owner of a tracker, and i gave someone an account on here. and in 2 days he cheated, as if we wouldnt have spotted him.
But if someone can do that to the owner of the tracker that got him in on good pretence, then i wouldnt trust anyone for an invite that i had to give on any site im afraid. because you never know what they will do.
damn stoi thats really poor judgment on your part then.... tricking the owner? damn that kids got skills:rolleyes:Quote:

Thats why not because we invite traders or cheatrs .
well that is all guessing,also there are many reasones why he been disabled,and of course as u said it could be by cheating..Quote:

And when i ask them why they told me that i offering my inv in public fourms and i cant said im dont :D
And i respict that because they was very helpfull and listen to me dont kicking me out like other trackers MOD before i even talk .:angry:
"We would like to take this opportunity to remind you, our dear users, that selling invites, trading invites, and giving invites away to random strangers is not tolerated, and any users found doing so will have their invites revoked, along with their entire invite trees. This is for the good of the entire community."
That it quoted from the news posting today (1/15). Maybe it was a bit harsh to start coming down on giveaway people without a little warning?
I'm just interested in the site gaining more productive peers to help make the site better :) I think they are making some good decisions about the expansion and the rules of the tracker. Too bad with all of the strict sites, there is some unneeded casualties along the way.
Is there is any hope to get our accounts back (Its first time we know that rull) .:yup:Quote:

If you don't believe me check out squirr3l's thread here at FST about getting banned on what.
hmmm seems fishy, did u ever find out why u were disabled?? I would love to know because it doesnt seem like what.cd would ban people over a giveaway unless it was an undercover admin here at FST. An admin from what.cd not an admin here.
Let us know
Harsh...You can see why though I hope.Quote:

all the rule says is you will have your invites revoked, not that you will get disabled for doing it.
so it may have been something else on top of giving away the invite, but im not a member over there so can only speculate.
next time be carefull in choosing who your giving an invite..good luck in getting back your account..
sorry man :( next time be careful..

Were you asking me? :unsure: I am just a regular user at the site. My guess, is there any chance they will have leniency and give any account back? Probably not, theres no incentive for them to do so, they are already filled back up with eager new members.
Partaking in the invite forums here is a good way to be banned on many sites... Sorry, but that is the truth.
How did they found out? You have the same username on whatcd as here?
Well you would think that with what happened to its predecessor people would be smarter than to invite unknown users
:/
ratio proofs can be forged. ratios can be cheated, if done furtively, on most sites. even if they weren't, there is no guarantee that the invitee will cherish their account. they may extort the site and its lenient rules.
i don't understand why you guys have the propensity to invite people you don't know anyway... i can think of some incentive, but i'd rather not say it, because everyone knows it and it really doesn't need to be said.
@dv8type: yeah, there is always that risk, but if people didn't take that risk, the site would not really grow. however, i for one appreciate and cherish torrenting-security over file-diversity.
i don't think i'm the only one who is starting to see the trend of torrent sites from a few large ones to many smaller ones; from a couple collectives of strangers, to many circles of friends. i think it is very possible for filesharing to be crushed into that state in the near future. unless that is if encryption improves and a new protocol is created :). ah the aspiration.
I got some of my most-loved trackers by the kindness of virtual strangers. Sometimes I like to pay it forward.Quote:

good luck
i guess i must have been lucky not to get disabled then :]
if i had seen the thread i would have probably said, "what.cd does not allow invite giveaway and cd staffers monitor FST giveaway regularly" but now it's late...still maybe ring the bell for someone.Quote:
