be carefull guysQuote:
Quick reminder, don't invite Polish or Israelis to sct, the countries are IP banned and we wont be unbanning them. Word of warning, if you invite one we will ban the account and give u a warning for it also.
/ScT Cartoon Staff
anyone know why?
Better invite a Mexican :)
The doors are slowly closing everywhere. Trackers are doing too much disabling via IP range. Be real careful people. (Obviously they have their reasons and i won't question them, just stating my imo).
Yeah, they are renound to cheat and are no longer welcome in bittorrent communities for that reason, many sites have taken this approach.
i hope TL does the same too
i invited an isreali to a site a week ago , and he cheated the second day :dry:
As far as I know TL have banned Israeli IPs have they not?
yepQuote:

Ya It`s True I have Message Say this Warning ...
But All Countries Have Good People And Bad Ones So They All Will cut out ..Bad

You can't blame Israelis for cheating. The infrastructure in Israel is very poor, Plus ISPs that limit ports, and the way over priced high speed connections, make it impossible to maintain a ratio of even 1, without cheating.
u should create a new post for the banned countries and where they are banned, to avoid inviting or trading with?
There's a lot of talk about who is doing the cheating. There are discrepancies about whether or not it's the Israelis themselves or their ISP's that are doing the cheating. People can't blame the Israelis for getting manhandled by their ISPs. I wouldn't prejudge and blame the Israelis especially with all this information about Goldlines faking data and such.
Somebody take them to court for racial discrimination. :eyebrows:
bad news
how so? for the rest of the users and staff, its the best news.Quote:

if you're telling us that the only possibilty for israelis to maintain a proper ratio in bittorrent trackers is to cheat, you're not doing your fellow countrymen a favour.
last time i checked israel wasn't a third world country. it has one of the highest household broadband penetration rates in the world, building on even higher internet penetration.
so do not tell anyone that israelis have to cheat! that's pure nonsense and you know that very well.
rather than finding lame excuses you should try to do something about the cheating mentality that many israelis have.
before a whole bunch of people from israel call me a racist or whatever - i didn't make the statistics that prove those facts.
Nobody has to cheat. Even when I was on a 56k modem I kept a good ratio at Elite Torrents. Used it a hell of a lot too. :smilie4:

And, well, I don't care about ScT banning PL users even if I'm Pole, because I don't have an account there, and I don't need it anyway... Let's just hope, that other trackers won't ban PL users (SCC does, but they unbaned PL ip's after some time)... Or, hey! Maybe PolishTracker will do that too? :pinch:
for BCG its Brazil that are the worst culprits, then Israel.
and saying that Israel only cheat because your internet is crap is rubbish.
We used to have an Israeli Uploader, and he was cheating on his own uploads, as was his entire invite tree.
but saying all that, we dont ban any countries on BCG, but the cheaters and the dupe accounts is why we are staying closed for now.
That would be really bad news and I hope the staff of SCT won't get to that.Quote:

There are always other alternatives, it's you the one who chooses if you take the easy way or the hard way.
how could u keep good ratio at sct for example by 56k modem when most of sct users useing seedboxs with at least 8 mb ? if u will download pc game and its size 5 GB from there then belive me if u will even seed it for months u wont get ur ratio 1.1 i say never !Quote:

to ban a whole country ips its just unfair
and i gusse its not about (only )cheaters its about donors too sct was just fine before ban all those countrys
It would take him almost 9 days to download it maxing out his connection. :lol:Quote:

At this rate it'll be public trackers for me ):
ban every country and keep the tracker to yourself :happy:Quote:

Saying that your ISP's capping your speed forces you to cheat is horse pucky, look at all the comcast users in the US being throttled, yet you do not hear a single one say oh I've got a slow internet connection so I have to cheat, its your mentality that you believe you have to cheat, and you just look an ass for saying it.
