Sorry to hear that but I am not on staff on TBy so I don't have and answer to your question.Why you block all Israelis? not all of us are cheaters, you know, that's horribleNice of you guys to be letting in fresh blood into the site I hope all the new members apprecitate it and take advantage of the FL to get there ratios up.
But hey I wish you the best of luck in getting an account since its sad that a few bad apples could make the whole tree rotten and because of this a possible good member has to suffer.

I Think it's wrong blocking ip:s just because they come from a country where there are many cheaters, traders and so on. I mean there are good people therefrom too
Seize the Day
Shame on anyone for blocking an entire country.
The reason for the block wasn't just that there were several cheaters.
It was a combination of several things, the main one being account hijacking/hacking.
There was at one point 100's of accounts being hijacked per day.
Now whilst banning an entire nation was regrettable, as staff our first concern will always be to our current active members (not those who don't yet have an account) and we will do everything we can to ensure that their accounts are safe from being hijacked.
Cheaters we can handle easily with cheat detection scripts, but when your having to sort through 100's of stolen accounts and return them to their rightfull owners it leaves no other time to spend improving the site.
And as regrettable as it was to block certain isreali ranges (and not all are blocked) i can honestly say that i personally have not had a single hacked account to deal with in the past 10 months.
Everything can and will be reviewed, but if we feel the threat to our current users remains then we won't change anything.
It's not the first tracker that bans Israel, you know? Maybe you should think about that and you'll find out that the country is FULL OF CHEATERS/HIJACKERS/ETC., not saying there aren't good people in there but still..

What a nonsense...
100 accounts hijacked per day and after you blocked Israeli ip's *poof*, no more hijacked accounts for 10 months?
Let me guess that you need hacking skills to hijack an account (how else? guess passwords? and I don't think you can "scam" in order to hijack an account) so you really think that hackers or w/e won't be able to get into torrentbytes because your simple ip range block?
Come on...
