You post in FST from the pentagon? O:
<NES> lol
<NES> I download something from Napster
<NES> And the same guy I downloaded it from starts downloading it from me when I'm done
<NES> I message him and say "What are you doing? I just got that from you"
<NES> "getting my song back fucker"
I used to play a multiplayer online game and it's quite interesting, that most of the cheaters came from the same countries, that are also notorious in the torrent world.
How should I know? they say because there are cheaters here, because of account hijacks (wtf? if the accounts hijacks problem was that big, I don't believe a simple IP block would magically finish it)
to be honest, you can't really know why, and I don't think that's right to ban the whole country for this, there are many, really, a lot of users in Israel that are not cheaters\account hijackers or something like that...
But, well... what can I do about that? they don't give a shit

ok, 1 or 2 cheaters from the same country is fine we expect that, even 100-300 is collateral damage.
but when you open signups, and you get 5000 new members in less than 24 hours, and 4500 of those are from the same country, and then 4300 of them cheat. Its time to start banning IP Ranges and Countries im afraid.
like i said before though, we havnt banned any country, we are just never going to open again (thats not just for the cheaters though)
just imagine you have a vegetable store.
you get good fruits and vegetables from many countries.
there's one country that always sends you boxes of rotten tomatos.
so you change your dealer from that country, but again, boxes full of rotten tomatos.
now do you keep buying tomatos from that country and open every single box hoping to find a good tomato?
i don't think so.
