Global bans

[Rachel.]

No, I have just learned it's better to lie in the bed I made. I was humbled and shamed, which anyone who is banned should be. Are you saying you have done nothing at all to be ashamed of?

I truly feel that I have nothing to be ashemed of from what I was accused of at all..

It's a big relief to get away from it all. No more "following the pack" like you say; I have nothing to lose and nothing to gain. I can just enjoy filesharing for what it is in it's purest sense. Downloading files because I want them and not because they will raise my buffer; my rep is shit now so i dont have to worry about my ep3nis; and i can stick to making real friends and not the fake ones you'll find at trackers.

That's where you differ from me. I'm not saying that you're wrong but maybe you and your e-friends set your relationships up on a whole different point of view as I did. Maybe with you guys it was based on personal interest solely

I still have internet friends to this day that i'm close with and have helped me out tromendously into becoming a better person (and I'm not talking BT related wise)

I've spent more hours chatting with Cabalo in Msn about life and he has given me more advice Life-related than I could remember

Chatting with Cinephilia has been an unforgettful experience as well. This guy has introduced me to a new way of thinking. He's a very wise guy and knows a lot about culture, cinematography, music etc..
Still to this day when I'm in the internet I look around the Kg forums to find a meaningful movie, or grab a book and read about old culture and philosphy etc..

I was never into doing stuff like this before I met any of these guys

Another guy that I still know to this day is a Tze. He's from Singapore and a very cool and open minded person. He has left very strong impressions on me and is truly a role model

And last but not least my new friend megabyteme.. I just got to know this guy and he's already reached out to me a million times offering help. It even got to the point where I asked him help for personal problems..and I just met him thats the funny part

My point is that, having friends is a very good thing in both, RL and internet. You can learn a lot from these BT guys..

And Don't give up on something that you used to believe in just because you were hurt a few times.. I know you had good times with your friends before this whole thing happened and probably miss talking to most of them

Im honest, so honest that, i would never be able to do, the shit, he did.

Not even in this pretend world, neither in real life, and i know that im a fucker, my ex will vouche for me.

Has for settindice aka fu**him, he probably has dupe accounts everywhere, so... he never really felt the global ban

He should be irradicated from the planet... global ban, has no effect on him.

I knew SettingDice for awhile, he seemed like a nice guy. I don't see why you have to hate him that much, regardless of what he did/didn't do.

I've got some books for you on power and esp. power imbalance. I think you'll like them. Good stuff really, and worth knowing. I even had one of my grad-professors suggest that I write my thesis on something in that area. (I do have to say that I prefer to view the world through other lenses, but important reading- and you make a very accurate statement (in regards to power and status quo) here! Nicely said!

Sure bro, drop me a Pm. It'll be something worth reading

 

[heloo]

Hurray for BrianH !!!!

uh dont think so...but yeah well i dunno maybe could be perhaps oh well,but its interesting how he's riding y'all all this while...

Yeah, since alot of tracker staff are very young and a few of them aren't very mature, global bans have been abused enough to become pretty much a joke to me. These staffers started to bring personal matters and conflicts into the picture, so I don't blame the trackers that don't listen to these attempts and base their judgements on how the member behaves on their given tracker. I wouldn't call that selfish behavior, as "I'm Hot" seems to be implying.

I was not TrueSounds, some sites just rule what they own as they want and there's nothing wrong with that. And no one starts a global ban because of a personal issue, I have never heard about a single one that started from nothing or from a personal issue to be honest.

Least of my problems , you should see the twit I'm trying to reason with in the Report Section at the moment.:dabs:

 

[Maadddii x3]

The term "global ban" is a joke. Maybe the term "banned from a few select sites" would be more fitting as I'm sure not every tracker(or even close) participates when a staffer tries to initiate one.

Just ask Cabalo. His supposed global banned was what, a few sites at the most?

 

[Jenr]

i dl files and go afk and go outside wtf do u do sit and post on forums? i have 0 forum posts on all the sites i use
i come here when im bored to make fun of nerds like u with my friends
i think u already kno
stop lying to urself

You actually edited?? Try again. This time don't forget to add a few more vowels, consonants and a bit of grammar. It's amazing but I bet English is your first and only language. Must be tough to be illiterate in your only shot at communication.

 

[panini :Dxoxoxox]

And you really that hes being honest ??? From a guy who cried for f*** invite everyday.... to this......... lmao...

only a fool .....

I don't know the slightest bit about the guy and was only commenting on the fact that I really would prefer an environment where I wasn't constantly wondering if someone was looking to screw me over or not.

A fool maybe but an honest fool at least .

 

[I live for Jesus. :)]

Nah had deal with enough of them thru chat rooms/forums/dc++/torrent sites so let you sort this one m8 :lol:

 

[Sanya Ali]

someone here said that he doesn't take BT too seriously... yeah right! :lol:

:yup: Sour grapes, anyone?

No proof of anything, just accusations from someone who got himself banned...Oh, but he has moved on.

And WTF is this supposed to benefit, anyway? A "free pass" for people who f-ed up? Some kind of pathetic excuse for failures to default to? Or perhaps a way to spit in the face of everyone who has put in the efforts necessary to create first-class sites that are enjoyed by thousands daily. Yeah, since you cannot be part of the community, why not make wild accusations aimed at those who are the foundation of this community?

Just another loud-mouth, exiled, failure, who has poked his head out of the gutter long enough to spit at those who are respected members of the community. It's always much, much easier to tear down than it is to create, isn't it?

You've done all that you can do, so climb back into the filth from where you came...and go fuck yourself even more. :dry:

 

[Nixie]

woah. so much to read..can someone sum it up??

Israel/ Palestine with even less sense to the conflict.

Btw I'm probably wrong in this but I'm not cleaning up the previous garbage so as not to give the "FST censors stuff" brigand any fuel for their fire but I am warning people against any further person attacks here.
They will be deleted and the posters subject to penalty.

well, that depends on the what the offense was really.. i agree though there really isn't such a thing as "GLOBAL BANNING" per say.. only because there are too many trackers out there to actually say all of them.. however, it could effect your most "VALUED" sites..

 

[SuMiRe~cHaN *IcE mUnCh*]

That's really sweet Albo in fact we have a word for that where I come from -

"ghey".


Just kidding you old but pirate you.:lol:

 

[Yahootime!]

BrianH, my hero!!! NOT :dry:

 

[inSC]

There is no such thing as a global ban. The term "mass ban" is much more fitting for it, as in you'll get a bunch of accounts banned if you've been extra naughty.

A mass ban is not automatic. If a site requests a mass ban, other sites may or may not cooperate. If the requesting site is reputable and the offense is substantial, then in all likelihood the person in question will lose enough accounts to make him/her think twice before repeating the same offense in the future.

 

[mtcharliegirl]

I am done responding to BrianH. From here on out, I will reply "Persona non grata", or PNG to his posts. I encourage other who feel the same way to join me.

In these cases, you simply don't reply. Don't you think that if you ignore someone, this is the highest of the insults ?

 

[Nikkiii]

[JamesHowlett]

BrianH, why are you so obsessed with nerds? :lol:

[snip]...but its interesting how he's riding y'all all this while...

I get that some people like to come around and "troll" or "ride posters", and I am sure some of them get off on it.

I do have a different take on the whole thing. Let's look at a couple of RL scenarios that, in my book, are very similar...

First, let's think about several people having fun at a party. It seems that there are always a couple of guys who show up, don't fit in, nobody really talks to them, they just kinda stand around like idiots. They don't really belong there and nobody cares enough to worry about them being there.

Now the "cool people", the ones who were invited and actually know how to have a good time (you know, our friends ). Are doing their thing- talking, drinking, telling interesting stories, laughing, perhaps making ground on getting laid- all the good things that make people want to party.

During this whole time, the losers try to mingle. They meander into conversations, pretend to be part of the group, hope that someone will let them into the conversation. This rarely, if ever, works. Quite often, someone will get tired of them and ask them to leave. If things escalate, the unwelcome "guest(s)" get drug outside and get their asses beat, usually becoming the center of attention briefly. The party-goers all say things like, "WOW! did you see that loser get his ass kicked?", and things like, "Who invited them here in the first place?" get thrown around a lot.

So, ultimately, the "cool kids" have fun, talk to each other, and enjoy themselves. The "uninvited guests" get talked about and around, and get their asses kicked and thrown out.

After the party everyone has a story to tell...

Second, is the porn "actress". She shows up, gets violated 37 ways, and ends with (up to) 5 kinds of bodily fluid covering her body and face. She waves and (tries to) smile to the camera before wiping off the filth and going home to get really wasted to forget what she has just been through.

Is she really a "star"? I don't think so...

Now, back to the forums. Trolls come around and get beat on while everyone joins in and tells them that they are not welcome. They get drug out of the "party" while everyone talks about and around them- but rarely, if ever, have a two-way conversation (dialog) with them.

Everyone who has joined in for the beating has had fun. Friends got together and had laughs and talked to one another. It was really at the expense of the "troll". Nobody actually had fun with that "troll", though.

So, is the "troll" really a "star" who got what they wanted? If so, they have some serious identity and social developmental problems.
