Holla we did it again ! :D
How do you people survive in BT :lol:
You are quite right Yoann64. We mostly get banned because of the racism existing in some of the european countries.
Bad move by GFT. :mellow:
who cares ? is that the only tracker there is ? it has nothing good.true story
they want to be leet or something. some time ago they said that they don't want to be like sct,scc etc.
With this they show their incompetence and their lack of ideas.
Welcome to the internet >:D<
country is full of scammers.
Bad move by GFT. :mellow: [2]
afterthought: They are a small locked-down site afaik. Don't see a valid obvious reason why they have to go and ban any entire country. ScT's justification is probably that they are huge and tons of people are always coming and going, or maybe there is no good reason either. SCC is probably because they've been open sign up/ were not invite sparing and banning a country from open-sign ups is pretty understandable if it means preventing a whole lot of people from creating tons and tons of dupe accounts. What GFT's userbase? ~2000? Yeah call me crazy, this is not a necessary move or precaution.
It kind of contradicts the fact that they are careful about who they bring into the site. That they still have to ban an entire country, and even with strict rules and sparing invites they still fail at keeping out the hordes of cheating Romanians :lol: (assuming this is the reason)
yeah, global measures can't be good.. at least they didn't throw out existing normal users. and can't blame them frankly that they want to save some of their valuable time from dealing with bad users towards something more effective... locked down tracker? they're _almost_ on open signup since today after hitting 100% donations :) /not mentioning their invite offers at other sites/
ps if someone wants for the gft to unban new .ro registrations, why don't you offer them your ultimate skills and time for keeping bad users from the tracker? :)
well what do i know
I don't think that they are banned ip classes .... the message is clear : ''If you are caught inviiting a romanian user, their account will be banned and your account will be warned.'' so to ban an acc. you have to create one first. And there a lot of romanians on tracker so what where they thinking when haved made that news i dont't know
Peer pressure
great move by gft :noes: :frusty: :slap:
If they believe that they were causing problems on the site then I think it should be done. If a country's users are any kind of inconvience to the staff they should be banned instantly. They don't need to be babysitting the people that join.
I'm sure it was for good reason, tough luck if there are a few good users from Romania.
I don't wanna sound selfish or anything like that, but I am glad that the United States of America is not banned on any private tracker. I mean, as far as I know, it's not banned on any private tracker.
Would die quickly? Why? You really think that a tracker with only .eu users for example wouldn't survive?!
PS: There are as many people who hate Romania as there are who hate USA...
Hating coutries is fun.
I'm always curious. I always want to know how many .ro problems happened, and what happened. lol :P what are the .ro's doing that is pissing off admins?
Trading and ratio cheating seems to happen for more often for romanians, but the extent to whether this deserves a global ban is unknown to me.
Funny news
I suppose it's not as bad because they didn't disable the current Romanian accounts but I am a firm believer that although it is a lot of work to chase after a lot of bad users who happen to be Romanian it is a lazy way out at the expense of a few good users but good users nonetheless.
Still, it's not like they don't have a valid reason to ban Romania. A lot of sleazy users come from there that constitute a large part of the tracker misuse. I've seen it.
The Romanians have enough good .ro trackers... they surely don't care about this...
Not sure if I should take this discussion here or start a new one, but why is it so that so many trackers ban romania? I've seen so many people on other forums get banned becuase of ratio cheating, trading and selling invites etc.. Most of them are in fact Romanians. Why are this country full of scammers?
Actually, on the site that i'm an administrator (quite a big romanian tracker if you ask me), i've seen more fakers and cheaters from countries like: Sweden, India, Turkey, Brazil, Italy than i saw fakers and cheaters from Romania. And we do not ban those countries... we disable the accounts and then ban the ip of the user (or in a worse case the ip class (hacking attempts etc.)).
You should also learn that fakers can be easily spotted by the staff of a tracker only by using the staff search utility included in a tracker source.
By this i tried to show you all that banning an entire country is a stupid thing to do and it is a way of solving things in an easy, brainless way.
We originally banned Romania because practically 90% of the fraudulant donations (donations made with stolen credit cards) and invite selling was from Romanians. There was something like 3 legitimate Romanians, and we whitelisted them. We later lifted the block quietly just to see if the behavior stopped, and it didn't, but it was no longer the Romanians leading the fraud, so the block was permanently removed.
It doesn't matter that Romania has millions upon millions of legit, friendly people on real high speed internet connections. What matters is that the number of bad people from Romania using those sites far outweighs the number of good people.
hence ban.
As been stated, we havnt banned the .ro users that have been good, its just with all our new .ro users, we seem to have banned more for cheating, than legitimate .ro
agreed, enjoy those sites.
agreed, not that i have anything more effective to do ;) (i tend to break the site rather than being more effective)
Before isn't it Israel which was the "World Cheating Champions" ?
Israel, Poland, Egypt, and Romania...always the same countries when people talk about traders/sellers/cheaters/scammers. But i'm not sure that there is more traders/sellers/cheaters/scammers in Israel, Poland, etc...than in Sweden, USA or some other countries.
Maybe the fact that a heck of a lot of romanians are bttards who cheat trade sell etc. is the reason for the ban.
we did it again :D
why i'm not surprised ... jeeez:cry:
