Account and Activity

My entrance exams are coming and I'm not doing well for the preparation due to me being mostly engrossed in the daily activities of FST (being new to BT world and all). And FST has also become my homepage, so its not that I don't spend atleast 4-5 hours here (give or take an hour or so).

Now, I think I'll be able to control myself only if I stop coming to FST for a while (easier said than done ;))

My exams are 8 months away and around 10 months from now, I'll be getting into my college. So, I've to be inactive for around that period.

Now, I don't want to be like those people who come here and say "I've come after 1 year and now I've been banned due to inactivity everywhere. Please provide me invite to blah blah blah tracker".

No, because I've really worked hard to get my invites.. "earned it" :P (not talking about deserving here) and the ratio I've made in my trackers, well.. It'd be definitely difficult to do that again due to my poor connection and all. So, I can't let go of the trackers I have.

So.. now comes the question of this topic : What strategy should I apply to remain "unbanned"?

I will still be seeding these 8-10 months. No downloading, just seeding. Just, I won't be opening the browser. Now, I ask you all (if it's not a hassle) to please suggest me something in general, what I could do and what I should do. I know, I could have just asked in the ircs of the trackers, but instead of talking to all of them (they might be different in their rules), I just want to get a general opinion.

Should I just go and login once in a month? Or even within a shorter period? Or should I really talk to the mods of the trackers for a way out of this? Or is there any auto login script as such, which can do the trick?

I had some questions aside from this too. If I park my account, can I still seed/leech? And will this activity counted as active as such in the tracker or do I need to login?

Currently as far as I know, only being power user at bitgamer allows that accounts won't be pruned for inactivity.

So, any suggestions from you all? :)

8 months of studying straight......

I think sooner or later you'll open the browser to relax for at least a few minutes lol...

I know I would want to, but I mustn't. I'm pretty much addicted here. :(

And I may open it for relaxing for like 30 mins, and it will end up in like 2 hours or something. :cry:

Anyways, that's why I'm doing the above mentioned steps, so that even if I want to, I can't open my desktop.

Your method seems like an awful amount of work and setting up. What I do is keep all my tracker bookmarks in a folder in FF, and once in a while ill click the mouse wheel on the folder which opens up ever tracker in a separate tab. If I happen to lose an account due to expiry (happened a few times), I realize I didn't care much for it in the first place.

This. Get a portable version of your favorite browser, put it in a flashdrive, use it to login to all your sites (choosing to automatically log in or disabling things like "log out if I'm not active for X minutes"), and close it. You can then proceed to do what TrueSounds said every month or so, I'm sure you'll have at least five minutes to do this...
 
Umm.. dunno if you're being sarcastic or not..:unsure: After coming to FST, everytime, I see these words, I think of this:

I'm telling the truth though.. :shifty:

Or bribery with sex.

Failing that in 10 months you will hopefully probably hopefully probably have seen the error of your ways concerning torrent sites and chucked them all for the less effete pursuits of drugs and fast women anyway .
If not contact me and I will re-invite and we can both be banned together in a glorious blaze of infamy.

I'm not trying to be harsh, but do people really have self restraint issues in today's times? You'd think with all the available media, you could figure out a way to stay on focus. (not being sarcastic. it could be distracting, but it could also help)

Personally, when I need to study extremely seriously, I just pick up my ipod, headphones, bus tickets, and book. Try that, it works wonders.

There are a lot of distractions, I'll certainly agree to that. I think there needs to be a balance between fun and our duties.

I do not believe 100% focus on anything, especially for 8 entire months, will be of benefit. Do the readings, discuss the issues, take some time to relax, and keep pushing forward.

Another thing to remember: most jobs and schools want to know that you have outside interests. Why? Because they make you a real person.

So, again, find balance and learn to set limits on the things that are fun, but also set limits on the things that are work.

The ideal amount of study time per session is only about 30 minutes, before you overload your brain with too much new information to process.

Good luck with your 8 months.
 
All TBDev trackers start out with an automatic disabler for inactivity. Staff can later change the inactivity duration, as well as add an automatic account deletion system. TL automatically disables accounts, and deletes them, as well as several other sites. You should probably go to different site irc's to explain your situation. At sites like these, you'll probably need to get reinvited at a later point.
 
Well.. that steps I gave was to prevent myself from using the browser in future. It's like a leash I put on myself.

These are unnecessary otherwise. Like now..
 
I agree to the above opinions.. but you really don't know what type of students are here.. Studying straight for 2 years, with no fun. Only studying and sleep. :rolleyes:

Besides, I think I enjoyed my bit.. Guess it's time to do some studying now. After all, this maybe one of those last times, I've to study what I don't like. After these 10 months, I'd be able to follow on what I'm passionate about. :01:
 
If your self control is really that bad, consider buying some amphetamines. Work wonders on your grades, my GPA went up 10% from the boost they give me ;)

dont listen to yer mom, "drugs are bad" is a lie
