Have you ever been banned UNFAIRLY from a tracker?

[That1Guy]

I got disabled at some site with the acromyn RTS when I was a noob. It wasnt runningthescene it was some other site although I cant even recall the name. If I remember correctly the site started you with a negative buffer (2 gigs down, 0 up i think). I downloaded something, then a week or two later I went back and was ip banned . Didnt bother me at all to be honest.

Other than that, I guess I have been "lucky" enough to stay clear of being banned. It really isnt that difficult. Just dont break the rules or act like a fool. If you cant refrain from acting up, just keep to yourself and download/seed.

Im sure a few ppl have been disabled unjustly. But not nearly as many that claim to be victims here.

the poll options are not clear. If someone was only ever banned for cause, they would qualify for option 2) No i have not (been UNFAIRLY banned) and option 3) banned for my own fault. Further, option 4 doesn't specify whether it refers to reinstatement after a fair or an unfair banning.

I thought it would be clear, but this is only my second poll.

Here is how I break the options down:

Yes, I have been banned unfairly.

No, I have never been banned unfairly.

I have been banned, but I was at fault. I moved on.

I was banned, but was able to work things out with staff and get reinstated. No admission of guilt necessary (either way), IMO. If you still harbor resentment after being reinstated, then they probably should not have been so generous.

Hope this clears things up (as to my perceptions of the poll) a bit.

And, just like those fill-in the dot multiple choice tests at school, pick the one that BEST fits your situation.

i was banned at sct a few times for redistributing "their" packs. what i mean by that is they would upload a pack that was made by some other group and throw on "-sct" at the end and then think that they own it. if a capper for a specific site uploads something he encoded and he asks for it to not go on another site i will respect that and not touch it but stealing a pack from somewhere and throwing -sct on the end doesnt mean you own it. i told them this and they disabled me twice over the course of a year but i had plenty of friends who agreed with me and didnt mind inviting me back. i liked sct for certain reasons and wish they were still here but the site going down did give me some sort of evil satisfaction. i wont say if it was unfair or not, some agree that they had retarded rules when it came to other peoples packs that they put their name on and some people think that they paid for access so it is theirs. to that though i would say that i got invited to sct from people who paid for invites so my access to them was paid for and i should get to do what they did. basically that rule of theirs was insanely hypocritical and they didnt like it when i pointed that out to them.

Yes, I have been banned unfairly.

Hang on, P2PDog and Grow4Dough...yeah, I just checked the title of this thread and I was correct. It is not, "Has P2PDog and Grow4Dough ever gotten a hurt butt?". Nope.

The correct title is, "Have you ever been unfairly banned from a tracker?".

Again, we are not looking for individual stories, just community experiences. The individual is not important this time, rather the community. Talk of TrackerX, or Y, is unimportant.

There are plenty of other places to complain about hurt butts and abuses of power. Heck, start your own thread...

FWIW, I wasn't butthurt over either account. I was simply giving explanations along with my vote. It's your poll, if you don't want discussion, that's fine with me.

[fox92]

Yes, I have been unfairly banned before.

Nothing personal, P2pDog. Please feel free to talk about the poll or trackers in general. I don't see any value in this becoming a free-for-all chance to bad-mouth trackers. There have been many, many threads that have already done that.

And I do apologize if my wording upset you. I am trying to keep this thread fro snowballing into that sort of thing.

If this does become a complaint forum, I will have it deleted. I get annoyed when I see people bad-mouthing sites and their staff in other threads, I won't create a forum for it.

Thanks...

EDIT: Soz MBM mate... have removed my reply, in line with the topic of the thread... it probably wasn't relevant
