account disabled, mysteriously

the ppl who run these trackers aren't idiots
u offered an account to a private tracker, on a public forum.
the site makes great efforts at remaining secret, and u openly offer an account on a public forum. what did u expect?

uhhhh....(A) i offered it in public, yes, however my username here is different than there so there is no way to link to two. (B) I conducted the trade in PM so there is no way they could be wise to the actual trade. So, to answer your question, i expected everything to go smoothly....am i missing something?

I would bet it was the fact that he changed the pass and email at once. I've heard similar cases at known trackers...

like i said, the ppl who run these trackers are not idiots.
1 of the staff on that site are also staff on oink. u have the same username on oink as u do here. its simply a case of matching ur i.p from oink to the i.p u had on that site. it took me less than 2 mins to notice that, and i dont do that kind of thing day in/day out. alot of trackers will share i.ps or pass on details even if they dont share staff.

theres no leak from fst. u should have respected that sites rules. using a public forum for that kind of thing is hardly keeping it secret.

you don't have to be such a dick about it...i respect your theory, it makes sense and I supose I should be more carefull...but your tone could be a bit more friendly, i didn't come after you in a hostile way. However, the site speaks nothing about giving your account away to a friend of yours, or someone you trust "as being against policy"...which is what i did. They didn't disable the account when i had it, only when a new ip address tried to d/l.

To speak to your point, I didn't mention their name in a public setting, i used asterisks (not that it matters, since FST blocks it anyway). The guy I gave the account to is as trusted as those of us can be in a message board setting such as this...i don't see the problem. Did i know this guy personally?...no. Did i know this guy enough that he would be a good member?...yes. And that's all anyone can expect for this kind of thing...and you know that.

In short, if i "broke" the rules, fine...disable my account, whatever...even though i don't think i did. But they didn't, only when my very good account got a new owner. Punishing him is stupid because I gave him my account so he would use it...which i no longer was doing. go figure.

Yep it definately suck and i feel bad for you and the dude that got the account.The owners of these website should understand that if they gonna ban people for getting invites like this then they will have to ban have of the site because that is how they got them too.Then again this is all just in theory maybe something happened that none of us know about.
