Bad move by GFT. [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 (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

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.
