can someone help me with my blackcats-games.net? i was away for awhile and came back, tried to log in and no luck, been a seeding member for a long time now.
As it turns out, if you have not logged into the WEBSITE in over 2 months, your account WILL be permanently deleted immediately, even if you have been actively seeding and/or reconnecting to the tracker during this time. My account was deleted after having last downloaded a torrent through BCG 9 weeks ago, even though I have been a member for many years, have been connected 24/7 seeding 1-2 dozen torrents at any one time on my 25bit upstream connection, and had a 7:1 Seed/Leech ratio.
Let this be a note to everyone that you DO have to sign in to the website every so often, even if you are checking in through the tracker. I'm not sure why it was stated earlier in this thread that as long as you're checking in by the tracker, that your account would be fine - that is obviously false according to regs8376, through the IRC channel. At least now I can use my bandwidth for other services - I always had traffic shaping set to guarantee and prioritize BCG traffic since I figured I was helping the community by offsetting the less-than-stellar members, but apparently not. It was upsetting to get blatantly shot down in the IRC channel after guaranteeing functional seeding only to BCG for years, but *shrug*.

"I just remembered something that happened a long time ago."
I'm not familiar with BCG's inactivity policies, not being a member there, nor did I imply you should have known better. I just wanted to point out most trackers operate like I quoted from your post.
"I just remembered something that happened a long time ago."
Yeah, I know they do. I just found the policies confusing due to them being practiced different than stated. I just hope at least one person can see that they must still login to the website to prevent their account from being deleted, even if it was stated otherwise by staff. Aaaanyway it doesn't matter, but I figured I'd help clarify this to prevent new posters in this thread from understanding why their account was deleted.
If there is one thing that's becoming abundantly clear in this and other BCG threads, it's that BCG staff are unhelpful fascists.
I've never come across such an unlikeable bunch.
Pity you never met Cirno.
I still consider Stoi as one of the most sensible people in BT. Just wrong on this deleting not disabling issue.
Yeah, a few people have said to me that Stoi is a decent chap. He may very well be.
But I always say you should speak as you find - and I find him to be a charmless douchespastic.
