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.

Russia is, too. And many others... That doesn't prove nothing. On your quote of Hrusciov I can smell hate speech.Because Romania is a leet and ex-communist country.
Trackers are private property and as such they are in position to do whatever they want to. On the other side, it is way too... Crudely.

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 doat 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 effectiveBad move by GFT.[2]

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.
