Do they still prohibit registrations from Israel?
I mean, it's actually a policy that should be changed as bandwidth in Israel has gone up a fair bit.. Most people have a decent upstream they could keep a non-cheating ratio with.
So, do they?

It would appear that the Israelis have had a notorious reputation as cheaters, at least for as long as I can remember. Even a decade ago on ED2K, a couple of Israeli eMule 'leech' mods made their presence well known. I'm sure it's probably just a minority, but anytime there are a notably high percentage of rule-breakers coming from a single country (especially a small one) you should expect a country-wide ban.
As for forgiveness, I wouldn't count on it, but that's just my opinion.
tralalala, what is Israel ???
Do you mean Palestine? Yeah... There is no word such as Israel... Everyone knows there is a country "Palestine", not Israel. LoL
Better call yourself from Palestine. Palestine is a poor country and maybe their citizens are cheating to raise their ratio that's why Palestine is on ban list. Just like Romania and Egypt. They are called super cheater.
That's such a funny joke, maybe you should look for someone who says he's former Sayeret and tell him that funny joke. I bet we'll all be laughing.Quote:

Thought it was the quiet revolution called BTN that mattered most in TV Tracker land.Pretty irrelevant if BitMeTV still are douchelords.
I can only hope there are smarter people in your country to compensate for significant drop in average IQ coz of you.Quote:

The term "Palestine" is believed to be derived from the Philistines, an Aegean people who, in the 12th Century B.C.E., settled along the Mediterranean coastal plain of what are now Israel and the Gaza Strip. In the second century C.E., after crushing the last Jewish revolt, the Romans first applied the name Palaestina to Judea (the southern portion of what is now called the West Bank) in an attempt to minimize Jewish identification with the land of Israel. The Arabic word "Filastin" is derived from this Latin name.
Palestinian Arab nationalism is largely a post-World War I phenomenon that did not become a significant political movement until after the 1967 Six-Day War and Israel's capture of the West Bank.
So, just for the sake of the argument, yes, I am in a place that used to be referred to as "Palestine", but it now has a more official name called "Israel". And believe it or not, we aren't actually a poor country at all. Very high-tech, liberal, modern, and not overwhelmed by crazy religious idiots that chop peoples hands off and stone women to death (and no, not even the extreme orthodox Jews do that any more).
For the time being, merwais, you are welcome to sprint yourself head first into the next wall you see, and hopefully smash your pinky toe into a table on the way.
Re. cheating issues - Yes, it obviously is a small portion of the users that cheated, but once again as I stated earlier, there have been significant changes in bandwidth lately, so I just wondered maybe the ban had been lifted.. Ah well, all hail Demonoid for whatever it can help me for...
I'd join you but they block Germany. Merwais probably knows why.Quote:

I still actually use eMule in extreme conditions when I can't find what I'm looking for anywhere else.. Until What.CD came around, I would still use Soulseek for my music needs, but that's more or less obsolete nowadays.
Shalom, they are still doing problems. but you can always use VPN :)
yomtov.
Somehow cheating to get on a site that bans people from certain countries because they tend to be cheaters seems sort of ironic to me.Quote:

It makes you wonder why they wouldn't ban half the countries they allow. Or off some idiotic whim with little to no research torrent sites are blocking "poor countries",
to meet there own definition.
The only feasible explanation is that there are a lot of cheaters from a certain country, "warranting" a IP Range ban.
*feasible in the sense..... that it hasn't been studied in-depth enough, to consider it a complete and udder "duck tape" method of avoiding cheaters... :rolleyes:
....How convenient....
But I'm from the U.S, so I'll just turn a blind eye to it all.
They don't take merwais into consideration when calculating average IQ (same with UN). Its their dirty little secret.Quote:

I lol'd at this line of bullshit. Thanks for the chuckles bud. News organizations might beg to differ with your statement.Quote:

Its not a question of the countries being poor or not.
To be honest... Israel is one of the richest countries in the world if I'm not correct.
When you have say 1000 users from Israel on your site and 95% of them are caught cheating it stand suffice.
Do I believe in banning countries no... I think making better detection to prevent people from cheating is more worthwhile than banning whole countries.
I do know of several users from Israel that were allowed to keep their accounts. I believe Dr. Lector from here still has his for instance.
So it has nothing to do with the countries being poor or rich. It has to strictly do with the users cheating.
Bitmetv sucks these days no wonder they had open signup recently...
content is poor relatively to BTN or even TVT.ro ,no leechers (traffic on hot torrents is small and on normal torrents is non existence so very hard to keep good ratio),not even one FL torrent, pre is slow,even the variety of the scene releases is poor so not to mention the non scene/web-dl.
Use BTN :)
funny to see how their strict and excessive policy finally led the site to its downfall.Quote:

Conclusion: dont need account here unless you want to keep a bookmark for nothing
