But nowadays, the BTN sysop seems quite upset with users on the site.
.
To add to Oleg's post, I got a copy of these recent announcements:
Spoiler: ShowI remember when BTN used to be fun and cool to work for, but now it's a chore.
I wish it wasn't like this, but it seems like wherever we turn, all we see are bad users. There’s a large amount of good users, and we're sorry you're being punished for the bad users’ actions.
Most of BTN Staff's work each day is focused around bad users. We rarely have time anymore to add new cool stuff, because we're busy trying to stop bad users being bad.
Things bad users do: Exploit our system, Trade and Sell invites, user cheating software, rate limit their client, general douche baggery.
When we started, our main focus was making BTN better, but now all we do is punish bad users.
I can't see why users can't be respectable and just use the system instead of cheating it; our systems are in place so EVERYONE at BTN can get a good user experience and fast download speeds as well as a heap of content.
I also can't stand how when we change something, we only ever see bitching from users in the forums; it leaves me not wanting to add new things. I haven’t coded anything for the main site in a few months since that when i do all i get is complaints that something has changed, even if it improves the site, the amount of bitching is overwhelming and leaves me cynical.
Maybe I’m asking too much for a community about sharing to not cheat our system and just share with others.
I've also been called childish numerous times this week, for doing things on BTN for the better. This doesn't make me happy either.
Message to cheaters: you know who you are, this is directed at you. Instead of spending so much time cheating our system and hurting others, go use another service like rapid share or UseNet. We don't want you here.
This is my rant, no other staff's opinions are reflected here, and it’s just my personal thoughts.
Creating and running BTN so far has been a joy, but now it just makes me angry.
Sincerely,
AzzA
Spoiler: ShowSome news...
A few days ago our intrepid leader made an emotional plea to the users of this site. While perhaps an unorthadox approach, a lot of it needed to be said. Users that blatently do the wrong thing are ruining BTN.
This site was created a little over 18 months ago with one goal in mind - to become the greatest source of television content on the internet.
Everyday we are working towards this goal, but the added distraction of dealing with users doing the wrong thing is tedious and not welcome.
The outpour of support regarding that announcement from you, the valued members, has been greatly reassuring and we are truly humbled. We have come to the conclusion that there needs to be a couple of significant changes around here.
Starting September 1, 2011 all invites to BTN will be closed. Only user classes of Master and above will have the ability to send invites.
This will give us a greater opportunity to regulate the userbase and get us back on track to achieve our number one goal.
This will not be a popular decision among many of you. As a result, until September 1, 2011 every member of BTN has received two additonal invites. Use them while you can, we have long-term closure of invites in mind.
Remember, only invite people that you know and trust. Just because you suddenly have a couple of invites, don't feel obliged to use them and offer them to strangers. We'd rather they go unused than end up with more poor users coming in.
When invites are closed, there will only be three ways to be invited to BTN-
1. To be sent an invite by a Master+
2. To gain membership from an OFFICIAL recruitment thread on other respected trackers, to be coordinated by our Recruitment Manager.
3. To sit an interview in our IRC invite channel which will be opened occasionally.
The second change is that all BTN currency transactions between users will be disabled. The shop will return, but you will not be able to gift bonus points, lumens, upload etc. to other users. This feature has been abused and it's time to end it.
A final note to those of you either breaching the rules or considering it. Do not, we will find you. We encourage every BTN member that values his/her account to have another read of our rules.
All staff are equipped with a button that will force you to search for another TV source.
tl;dr -
1. No more invites.
2. No more sending BTN currency.

HaHaHa.... It's about time that whiny, immature twit got a taste of his own medicine! He didn't give a shit when it was him who was wasting the time of other staffers with his inane nonsense, or his buddies were ratio cheating on other trackers. Some of his ratio cheating buddies are even staff there lol. He needs to man up and grow a set of balls. No need for whiny shit like that. If he doesn't want to do the job, step aside and let someone else do it.
What kind of N00B is he, anyway? Is he really surprised that there are countless idiots who will exploit whatever systems you have in place? Did he seriously not know that as soon as you make your invites hard to get that greedy people will start selling and trading them? Did he seriously think that if he implemented a bonus system full of bugs that nobody would exploit those bugs? If he really believes what he wrote in that rant then he's either a naive fool, or a complete idiot.
Sounds to me like he wants to own his l33t little tracker, but doesn't want any of the actual work that goes along with it. Sorry, Azza, it's time to grow up.
Oh, and if you're going to comment in the thread he made, you should avoid saying the truth...

Wait, are you saying that some ratio cheaters are staff at BTN? That's interesting. One former hdbits staffer told me he had ratio cheated on some site. Do you know any other ratio cheaters who staff other trackers?

Note to Azza :If you wish to be viewed as being more mature the avatar and "the clown has no penis " thing isn't really helping.
Of course if it's any comfort "turtletoes" with his "emo" comment doesn't really have much up on you.
My perspective is that more than one bt site is run by children.It doesn't make them bad it just makes them difficult to deal with sometimes.
Adults besides being a lot more receptive to reason, are a lot more likely to admit to being wrong when they are.
*That's a joke btw.
