    Do as I say ,not as I do is the credo of most people in power basically anywhere.
    Respect my lack of authority.

    Trading used to be a commonplace and acceptable way to join trackers, but that changed a long time ago. I don't think anyone in the current generation of staff members have done it, considering this very thread is an example of the potential consequences.

    Anyway, even if I were wrong, this is the torrent world and they're judge, jury and executioner

    Imagine if I was an anti-piracy rep and I had told that staffer that if he bans me instead of simply revoking my invite privileges, I would come after his site and do everything in my power to take it down, would he have taken the same action? I think not. So it was a powertrip for him than upholding their sacred rules. It's unfortunate that they don't understand their own hypocrisy and they can't give a well-intentioned member the benefit of the doubt. I mean what was I gonna do if I had my invites revoked and let me keep my account? Eat up the site? Chew up the files? Swallow their torrents?

    What's funny is that I spoke to another staffer at a different torrent site and he said the punishment was too much and that makes me all the more sad and angry. I was just an ordinary guy with a love for movies. Shame this has happened. I think these staffers are devoid of emotion and humanity. Atleast he could've given me a timeout for say 6 months or even a year and reenable me after that. Don't understand why the ban(s) needs to be for life.

    Still don't have a logical answer for why invoking my invite privs wasn't enough punishment. How exactly am I supposed to make up for my mistake if the ban's for life?

    No, it would have been much worse.
