Its amazing really how hard it is to have issues with staff on any torrent tracker if you stick to their rather simple rules.

Same that seems such a hard concept for some people to grasp.

Hate to break your bubble, but there are people who follow all the rules on what.cd and still get banned, the staff are notorious for being awful in every aspect of the job. I can sit here and list people who were warned/banned for no reason most of which were audiophiles but what good would that do?
You can keep believing the bullshit the staff came here to preach.

I'd rather believe my own experience if that's ok - I've never broken a rule on what.cd, nor has anyone I know personally who is on there, and I've never been banned, nor have they. More to the point, in terms of the issue the OP raised in this thread (which was what i was commenting on), I can't myself find one bit of fault in their actions - he broke what they consider to be an important rule, was then rather rude about it, and lastly came on here acting (imo) like somehow they owed him something because he'd ripped a few cds. Personally I don't think they did, and find the attitude and explanations their staff have posted in this thread perfectly reasonable, I'd rather make my mind up based on that than any perceived "notoriety" which I've never seen any actual evidence of.

Really, to be very very honest... This whole topic is senseless.
I agree with centuryfog that staff there is not very friendly. But hey, you can join other music trackers and be happy. Life goes on.. Deal with it and move on !!
No need for ideology. Torrent is illegal.

to everyone who posts and says oh stop whining and crying, this is a forum is it not? isnt this a place to share ideas? no one asked you read, and furthermore no one asked you to post so if you dont like what i have to say then gtfo.

I guess then by your logic of "this being a forum" people then have the right to express they dissatisfaction with your complaining.

still i dont understand this disconnect with some of you. yeah i lied to an admin but how does that make any of you better than me?

Another guess but maybe because they never lied to administration?

Sounds about right

I can't believe you have the audacity to compare your petty situation to the debate of piracy versus legal sales. Your situation would be like being sued by the RIAA for piracy, going right back to downloading, being sued again, and some passers by telling you to quit while you're behind before some other agencies (the other bittorent sites) sue you too. Then you tell them "lol I'm not gonna stop, they're never gonna catch me again!".

The ridiculousness of the above analogy should hint towards the fact that you shouldn't be using it

As for the people "agreeing" with you, it's either trader scum like yourself, or other people gathering to whine about how the mean staff banned them. At the end of the day, who do you want to associate yourself with?

So yes, perhaps they can't stop you from changing your IP, however by giving it out to the other tracker staff on their site, they can get you banned and banned again. Or you can just call it quits, and try Waffles. What's it going to be?

Let me leave you with some of your own, amazing advice:

I felt this thread warranted a comment from me.

At the end of the day, who do you want to associate yourself with?

People a mite less stuck-up than yourself, sir.

I have to say reading this thread further I am dumbstruck. You guys are being real a55holes to the staff that are visiting us.

We should indeed bow down before the mighty staff. No need to be respectful towards anyone else, though. There are no perks to be gained from being nice to people in general. Feel free, Detale, to insult whichever person you'd like respect from; I'm sure that ought to go your way.

You mean the traits you've demonstrated as you flamed staffers and told them to your face you're going to evade their ban?

You've demonstrated that you're a liar, trader, ban evader, and an inviter of cheaters. What would other sites want with you?

Every torrenting site, generally. Surely people who torrent lie, trade, evade bans and invite cheaters, as far as society is concerned. You're in no position to talk about someone else's character. None whatsoever. But alright. I'm happy you're a feel-good rule-abiding denizen of an illegal community. Just don't perch yourself too high when you speak of traits, as you do sound rather silly to anyone not so deep-set into your self-righteous torrenter's mentality.

Truly, someone who lies to unreasonable, patronizing staff of illicit sites (in the hopes of finding some crack through their sour, bureaucratic demeanor), or trades invites with strangers instead of getting invited for free by folks as unfamiliar, or evades bans for - get this - stealing from people who steal from other people, or worse yet, invites other people who do the stealing in question (through no particular fault of the inviter), is pure scum.

Perhaps this is such common wisdom to you nowadays that you never pause enough to think of it.

I also find the idea of taking offense at someone telling you how they intend to evade your ban preposterous. If anything, it's a nice compliment; it has to be a really good site if they feel that way. You should be flattered instead. Unless, of course, you don't really regard it as your site, and you merely enforce the rules.

And this "banned for life" outlook is really twisted. If stealing music is your idea of a bit of rebellion towards nonsensical laws, I don't see the point in setting up mini-societies with far more mind-numbing arbitrary bureaucratic guidelines than average life. Sure, it's not so hard to stick by them, and I do myself, yet at least that doesn't mean you need to bring up how "scum" aren't entitled to second chances in something as minor as site membership whenever they break one of the more flagrantly (albeit invisibly perhaps to you) far-fetched ones.

Really, "you're not entitled to anything" is one of those brutally dim-witted memes that float around whenever you forget there's an actual human being behind the other screen. They might be whiners from where you stand, but from where I stand you're not really very impressive yourself in your rough-and-tumble macho internet torrenting surroundings.

Relax, if you will.
