the closest we have to that is the Scammers and Cheaters sticky in the invite section but its been locked
whats the benefits of that????
all the "sct suck's" threads get put all in one thread
same goes to bitmetv, so maybe a combined thread for "been banned and bitchin" for all trackers.
lol there are threads like this in pretty much every tracker i know of showing users who got tossed outQuote:

I'm with sexbench here.. It's pointless.. These threads die out after a day or to anyways...
What gets me is there are about 100 dupe threads weekly. You just need to go to page 2 or 3 of the BitTorrent section and you'll start seeing the same threads repeated over and over and over and over again.Quote:

I agree there are a lot of these threads where members come whining about being banned for this and that unfair reason.
In the first place you have to think ... what it BT ... for some it's there life ... yes, that's pathetic, but for a lot of members here some trackers are 'their dream'. That already says a lot about the member in question.
Second ... I can understand that some decent members that have a lasting BT history get a little frustrated when they are banned for some reason that looks unfair to them.
I don't think it is that bad people start these threads cause it gives the community-reps that 'reside'here at FST the chance to tell their side of the story. That way future members of the trackers in question know what to do and what not to do.
It's easy to say for some that one should stop whining and go on when [sarcasm]you see your ultimate goal in your patethic life or socalled 'dream' shattered to pieces[/sarcasm].
But the last thread I read here at FST about being banned was quite informative and doesn't bother me at all. Off course the first thing one should do is go to IRC and try to talk about it with the staff member in question or maybe send a PM here to the community rep. At least that's how I would act if I was banned for no reason.
:fst:
To be honest, the last thread was actually quite constructive, minus the odd "tough luck" posts. Informative posts and all.. About time people understood the idea of a discussion board.
I always see those threads coming up all the time. All you see at the end is the same reason, Lol.
why would someone ban you, benchface?Quote:

unnecessary
I don't think is necessary to be sticky
I appreciate the joke PB. But the truth is when people say things like
all it does is make them sound foolish. Lets be real here. We all know that these trackers don't want you to trade their invites/accts so it does sometimes boggle my mind when people cry about it after they got caught and banned. Now there are a few threads where people have legit gripes and were wrongly banned but those are few and far betweenQuote:

All such inquiries are best handled by the staff on the tracker, and all have an IRC channel for just such problems, yet time and time again they say they don't know how to use IRC, this I find hard to believe its not some mystical science.
I agree that this is a discussion board but like benchez the last thing I would discuss on this board was being banned from a tracker. I have had problems in the past which I have resolved by talking to staff.
I think the reason for bmtv threads cropping up so much is this tracker is far more aggressive than others in banning traders, ScT too takes a very dim view, but this is the policy of the tracker and the staff of that tracker.
The simple and inescapable fact of joining a private tracker is that being a member means you have to abide by the rules, yet so many say 'I know I traded but......' ,yet there is no but or and in the rules.
I agree that some are genuine requests for help, but this is a very tiny minority compared to those who do not follow a few simple rules.
people are merely seeking a way to vent their frustration/anger/disappointment etc. when they get booted out of a certain tracker. i really do believe theres a lack of awareness about trading and tracker rules in general (how many of you read the rules page??) which leads to more and more n00bs getting banned. while getting banned the first time is a learning experience, doing it again for the same reasons is plain stupid. people need to go someplace and cry about it when this happens, and this is the easiest place to do so. PB you need a sticky thread? we have an entire section for it and guess what its called :P many people find expressing their hatred really cool. if they spent the time they use for whining to actually read and understand tracker rules and ethics, they wouldnt ever get banned from 99% trackers.
at least someone understood that i wasn't dead serious. ;)Quote:
