So where does my life go from here?

Albo,

You still seem to have sympathies for occasional/"a few" trades. I still (and probably will always) stick to the analogy of a tracker being someone's house (the site owner(s) and staff). Trading (any) is a violation of that house. While I would not equate trading to feeling up someone's wife, I would probably place it somewhere around kicking their dog.

I would not tolerate anyone kicking my dog. Not even once. They just would not be welcome after that. If I decided to forgive them, they would be on very thin ice from that point on...

You deserve to get your account back because you can spell an use grammar. That is saying alot in the internet world.

Good point well presented.

As much as don't want to, I can't help but sympathize when I see a person admitting to his/her wrongdoings. If your account is so important to you, my best advice to you would be to not give up on it just yet. I've seen WhatMan around here on FST, and he seems to be a pretty decent fella. PM him and explain the situation, admit to your crimes fully and offer to do whatever it takes to get another chance. Mind you, I'm not suggesting you resort to begging, rather that you attempt to demonstrate to the What staff that you really do care about their site and understand your mistake. If you decide to go this route, make sure you're being polite and genuine, and hopefully that'll move them enough to warrant giving you another chance. Then again, I might just be talking from my arse, and your account could be lost forever. Worth a shot, imho, if you love the site as much as you claim to.

Anyway, best of luck to you. Hopefully you really did learn your lesson from this incident.

I agree that breaking a site's rules by trading is disrespectful to the tracker owner, especially if the user in question has violated more than once...Although I don't think it's disrespectuf enough to go around and global ban him or end that users BT career over a simple mistake.

I know it's a lot easier to give somebody the boot and shut the door, than to take time and talk to that user into becoming a good member in the future...
I feel that if i was to show comfort to a trader by talking to him, giving him a couple of invites, show him that trading is not the easy way out..that person will understand and take my advice and change paths in the future

We have to understand that most traders don't know many people in the BT community like we do and it's a little harder for them to get into the trackers that they want to get in, therefore taking the easy way out(trading) seems more convenient to them
Although I bet that if 90% of them knew how things worked, they wouldn't result to trading

What i'm saying is that ignorance leads to making the wrong moves, and punishing them will only lead to more confusion. I'd rather enlighten them

The ironic part of that statement is that What's Invites forum, along with the Invites threads for Elites/TMs are probably enough to get people into almost any tracker they desire, aside from their banned tracker invites list (the e-peen trackers+waffles). BitMe would've been obtainable if he'd put in the effort.

As I see it, he broke a cardinal rule of the tracker. In a community of 100K users, they couldn't care less about 1 person who chose to break tracker rules. My suggestion is learn from your mistakes, try and join Waffles, and move on.

i had just bought 10 albums i was going to upload for requests this weekend. lol oh well

yeah i get it. i realize trading is very bad now. ill figure something out.

Is it just me or is there somthing wrong with this phrase?

Torrenting is about getting stuff for free. And you go buy 10 albuns just to upload?

I would get it you DL from another source and then Upload on what.cd...

[Funkin']

^ So something is wrong because he actually went out and bought music to upload to a tracker? Nice attitude.

That's how these music trackers survive. By people ripping the cd's they own and upload them to the tracker(especially the lossless ones depend on this). Sure, some up other people's rips that they've found on other sites, but a lot do what centuryfog is doing.

I would get it you DL from another source and then Upload on what.cd...

Did you even think about that maybe the albums that these people requested are not to be found on other trackers/forums/newsgroups/etc? Not every album is on the internet.

I personally think that it's extremely cool that he went out and bought cd's just to fill people's requests. If this is true, then I'm sure he'll be a missed member.

There's still Waffles, Demonoid(when it comes back), Torrents.ru, plus countless warez forums/blogs and Soulseek. So don't kill yourself just yet.

Can you point me to some good warez sites and blogs? Im interested in music that is hard to find elsewhere

and I agree with your post up there 100%.. I think Cokeman was just saying that it's a little hard to believe that he went out and bought 10 albums.. especially the way the Op put it.."i was gonna upload 10 albums that i bought..but oh wellll" which sounds kind of like a lie to either get back at them for disabling his acc or to re-consider him...And I'm not saying that's the case, but it would cross some minds to believe so

I'd be interested in warez/blogs as well if they have V2/V0/Mp3vbr torrents. Any good ones with similar quality controls to that? I've found a few blogspots over the years but I've never really kept up with them because I didnt find they had reliable quality control, and I hate downloading something only to download it again elsewhere. I'm guessing there might be some great ones with scene uploads or something similar?
