I havent been banned from any country, Turkey is banned right, but as far as i know, i was in the exclusive list(the ones they actually contribute smt to the site i guess) Also i dont cheat trade or whatever you think of bad qualities in torrenting, though i traded in the past, still it was just out of eagerness to join trackers and i had quite buffer and a lot of seeding time(7 24) also am active on certain tracker forums.
edit: Also certain trackers dont ban your whole country, yeah they do formally, but if u were a good member there, they probably include you in their own exclusive or whatever that list is called.

Re: Elektronik had BANNED Egypt

Re: Elektronik had BANNED Egypt
The problems arrive from the fact that we can't really ban only the bad users cause of the dynamic IP.
Most of them jump from B-classes to another. I don't want to exagerate but over 75% of the Egyptian users are disabled for either cheating or trading.
Patriot foreve, i'll ignore for now cause i'm afraid you don't know what you're talking about(easy/hard-ways etc).

Time to crawl out of his ass yet?
I think they were just fed up with finding cheaters/traders/sellers who turned out to be Egyptian. Banning the entire country may not be fair to the good users from Egypt, but it's one way of putting an end to all that time wasted on worthless lowlifes.
A good thing to do now, would be to perhaps make a temp irc chan to allow the good users of Egypt to request their accounts be re-enabled. This way it's almost like working backwards from the signup progress - nobody gets in without having proven themselves beforehand.
But meh, end of the day, their site, their rules :)

I am not a member, I have no expectations. I was banned by stoi, so tell me what would be my reason to do whatever you are saying? If just telling the truth isnt permitted, say it outloud, otherwise save your wise opinions to yourself please

Nah you (as in BCG) just ban people that dare question your methods.
Funny, since I already said the account just dies from inactivity. Maybe it was so one of staff could come up with some other stupid accusation that I would be prevented from answering, because I was banned?
I certainly wasn't from inactivity, unless your inactivity rules suddenly became much lower period.
All I can say is Vuze users beware.

Re: Elektronik had BANNED Egypt
how bad is Egyptian torrenters? I'd like to know what Lebe thinks since the last time when Waffles banned .Ro IPs he said it's an extreme response (I think he doesn't like to ban the whole country then?) so I guess Egypt must have done something really bad.
I'm always on elektronik's side still!

Not a clue what you are talking about.
ah you are Blue_skies.
you said you didnt want the account anymore, when i made the account it was only for testing purpuses, you even told me you would never use it, so stop spreading bullshit.
yes i did say that Vuze is a horrible client, and if it was just up to me i would ban it, i hate the thing, and no its not just because of a personal preferrance, 95% of cheaters that we get, use Vuze (with a mod which i will not name here), to cheat.
I know of a couple of tracker`s that have banned it, so its not just my opinion,
I also explained, that instead of getting on your high horse to us, for not allowing a new client version as quick as you would like, you should get onto the other trackers, for banning a perfectly good version (the previous one) so fast.
Btw, i did not even know you were banned till i read your above post, Cirno banned you.

Re: Elektronik had BANNED Egypt
The worst.
They have their own WTAW thread version, not about rarity but about how easy is to cheat in trackers. Just so you know :)

I don't care at all that I can't use the account. I just don't get why it was so important to ban the account. I already said I would let the account die. Guess he needed to leave a warning to others that dare speak their mind. Pretty much a forum to discuss as long as you agree.
BTW wasn't pointing fingers at you, hence the (as in BCG) since I suspected you didn't do it, but at the site, everyone was praising through the roof.
And I accepted fine the actual answer to my question, about the tracker restart. Just a shame it took all the useless answers before that to get there.
Edit: also please tell me exactly where I said I didn't want the account. I said I would not run two clients for a site I don't use much. And that I had around three weeks before being deleted for tracker inactivity. I actually said I used the account a bit even though I never expected to do so, when you made me the account.
oh you better quote it here, since I can't access BCG.
I say again Banned as a warning to others.

Re: Elektronik had BANNED Egypt
We let members speak their mind, we even have a tracker suggestion forum for members to hmm come up with better ways we can do things.
yes we do pick them apart 1 piece at a time, but thats the way it should be.
I believe it was more your attitude through it all, (Vuze is great, i refuse to use anything else, your hard luck) type of attitude, than your actual complaint that we did not allow it yet.
this was your opening thread
Quote:
Since there is obviously no answer coming in relevant thread.
How long does it take to add a perfectly good client update to the allowed clients on site. A month, a year.. or is it just purposely done to annoy the living **** out of Vuze users?
that is why my reply was a bit, hmm blunt to say the least.

Re: Elektronik had BANNED Egypt
I took me a week on unanswered questions about it, not just from me, to get to that point.
It was the only option left, because writing anything in a normal "pleasant" fashion was just left unanswered.
You still haven't quoted exactly where I said I didn't want the account.

Re: Elektronik had BANNED Egypt
BlackKnight, i said it's an extreme measure then cause i thought they did it just to go with the trend(SCT previously banned RO, SCC was first).
And believe me, Romanian users are way easier to ban than Egyptians.

That's a good idea, and was how I got my softmp3 account back after the mass banning :)

to me i think you guys are doing the samethings that some trackers did to romania by banning the whole country in various other trackers
personally i don't approve banning a whole country for any reason because i am sure that in any place there is the good and the bad and there are alot of good people in each country who have been sharing,uploading and seeding their torrents to help other members in that place
what some trackers do now is banning the whole country ,what do you think i should do when i see that ,why would i care to share or support the tracker if a tracker may ban my whole country in the future?
have you guys thought about the good members in your tracker,have you done anything to protect them and exclude them from such measures?
i am totally supporting you in banning and getting rid of bad apples in the tracker but banning whole countries isn't really a solution

1)I wish some people could apply same logic to traders as well.
2)Absolutely right, it is also applicable to inactivity, if i can be banned from a tracker just because of 2 months of inactivity(told the staff about my condition) that i really put effort too, then what is the point in supporting them? wont probably make that mistake again.
3)agreed on this one too

that's the same thing that some other trackers gave while banning romania,poland,brazil,israel,portugal and other countries in other various trackers
if there are alot of bad apples then it doesn't mean that all trhe apples in the basket are bad
