That doesn't seem to be the case. And usually when someone comes complain here, they get a real good explanation from the staff, be it a positive or a negative one.
They could not care at all, but they do.
 
Hello,

My What.CD was account was recently banned. I believe it to be an unfair ban and was not even given a chance to explain the situation before the staff banned me from IRC, thus, leaving me no way to get in contact with staff and get my account re-enabled. Here's the story:

About a year ago, I heard about What.CD from a friend. I logged onto the IRC channel, took the interview, passed and created my account. I was talking to some co-workers about the site and told them that I could invite them if they were interested, which they were. I invited to co-workers (Jon and Kyle) and they created accounts. Jon then proceeded to invite multiple e-mail accounts of his, and create 3 or so different What.CD accounts so he didn't have to worry about ratio. Kyle was a responsible user and followed the rules, and also invited our boss Charlie who used the site responsibly. Within a few days, all of our accounts had been banned. I logged onto the IRC channel to inquire and before I could even explain the situation, they banned me and all the accounts claiming that they were "all my accounts and that I was creating multiple accounts" which is not the case. They only evidence they had to support this theory was that my account and Jon's account had been logged onto from the same location...however, we had both simply logged onto our accounts from the work computers and were showing each other our profiles. I know I used bad judgement when inviting Jon, but he had told me that he was going to be a responsible user and follow the rules. Additionally, during my time on What.CD, I had followed all rules and maintained a nice ratio. Jon is no longer working with me and I do not have any contact with him. (This all took place in March of 2009).

Fast forward to November of 2009 or so, a different friend of mine whom I had sold my laptop too (the one I had been using to access my What.CD account) informed me that he had passed the What.CD interview and created an account. He offered to invite me which I was excited about and and I created an account. Within a day, we were both banned and again, I made an attempt at accessing the IRC server to see what was up. I told them that he was using my old laptop and that these were two different accounts but they immediately banned me.

Last night, I figured i'd log onto the IRC server and see if there was anyway I could get my original account back. I spoke with someone named Pyt3hon (or Py3thon, something like that) whom was very friendly and listened to my entire story. He decided to give me the benefit of the doubt and reinstate my account. I was super excited however, this morning when I went to log in, I had been banned. Again I logged onto the IRC server and spoke with someone who didn't give me a chance to say anything before banning me.

I know this a confusing situation, but I can assure you this is the 100% truth. If anyone knows a moderator that I could talk to or something to possibly get my account re-instated, I would GREATLY appreciate it. I can also provide proof of everything I have said. Thanks!
 
7th i guess your right.... I'm talking about nightoath, n0nam3, and xavier in particular. Basically the whole disabled channel administration that joined here.

*edited* Not trying to start a big fight removed second half. Night FST

The amount of hatred in this forum towards me is intense. Perhaps it would be better if I didn't come here?

No please don't leave, I'm begging you to stay. Your so much better than everyone here at fst :rolleyes:

Also in no way do I represent Fst's attitude towards what.cd, I represent my own.

This is what we have to work with:

-map07023 claims his name is Mike. This I believe, because he has a university email address.
-He invited a user who he calls Jon (jayb0ne), who invited himself twice.
-All accounts were disabled.
-Half a year later, a user called kw1k, who Mike claims he sold his computer to, and claims is Jon, signs up and invites Mike three hours later. He got the invites by donating with jayb0ne's (Jon's) email address, which he claims his invitee (so-called Jon, but really Mike) did.
-kw1k posted on the forums that his name was Jon.
-However, when we brought him into IRC for questioning, he claimed that his name was James, that he had invited Jon, and that Mike is some guy he hasn't known for years. He claims that jayb0ne (who Mike claims is Jon) is a previous coworker of his (Mike makes the same claim). ie, both Mike and James agree that jayb0ne is a previous coworker of theirs named Jon, despite (allegedly) Mike having donated on James's account with jayb0ne's email.
-We do know with 100% certainty that kw1k (James) invited the user map07023 (Mike), and not Jon as kw1k (James) claims.
-All users have the exact same taste in music.

Thus, the only logical conclusion is that they are all the same person (Mike) pretending to have multiple personalities and lying through his teeth. The kw1k account will be disabled (even if it isn't Mike, kw1k is still guilty of lying), and all other accounts will remain disabled.

That is confusing as hell. Took me about 3 readings just to fully understand it.

All they have done so far is release private information that has a high probability of being false.

For god sake they think I made 3 accounts if you see when they were attacking me at Christmas, and now claim it got banned for ratio watch :lol: (which ever of the accounts they believed to be mine is beyond me).

Point being just because a staff member for what.cd says something, doesn't mean its true.
 
i'm betting you won't get any of your previous accounts back; if you're not ip banned already, try registering another account from a different ip address while choosing a different username (but gl finding someone here who'll want to invite you) and avoid making the same mistakes you just outlined

remember, on most trackers, you take full responsibility for ever new user you invite, so be cautious of who you give your invites to
 
I'm not saying people don't make mistakes, quite the opposite.
And I'm not defending what.cd either, they're grown up enough to not need my help.

Sometimes, things happen in a certain way, because the conversation led to it.
Don't take this opinion as too serious, I really have no idea what happened to you at what.cd.
 
surprising.. At their current rate they may release OP's street address, ss number, and banking information. (I don't know the real reason for the ban, I think they think I'm someone else who was banned for a low ratio... W.E)

Their disabled channel admins only come on FST to harass people who claim their accounts were unfairly banned.
Why do they even join?

Instead of incriminating potentially innocent people with psychotic accusations, why don't they actually help people on the board.

Welcome to fst, your no longer in the what.cd irc channel. How ironic you mention eventual destruction.... lol
 
The angry people make the most noise. Dont let it bother you. Plenty of us have had nothing but positive experiences with your tracker, including getting accounts re-enabled. Your effort is appriciated, at least I think so.

What.cd didn't give me a chance as I remember it (6-8 months ago), why should I post positively about them when I was treated wrong.

well, I said all that thinking of 2 things:

first: I had problems in a tracker (bitme) for inviting people that turned out to be cheaters... all my invites were taken out and without knowing why I went to the irc to ask about my invites... :unsure:

think about someone very angry (the bitme staff that day :angry:) and a user completely lost (me :O that didn't know about the cheaters)... In the end they were nice to let me stay (but no more invites, just a small price to stay I would say) and I've learned a lesson...

now, what I'm trying to say is that I had the option to go to their IRC "demanding" (:01:) my invites back (still without knowing about the invitees) or even get mad for what I've heard that day and just get banned for my posture... :ermm:

second: thinking of BCG and two different staRAB I see there... stoi and the other one I forgot the nick :P... stoi is the "lovely" and "soft" guy we all know, and the other one is that well know for his "hard heart", the one who bans people for "so little" or whatever... well, I would say that BCG works well because we have a little bit of both you know?

It would be a mess if we had like 10 stois there :P and it would be unbearable if we had only of the other staff :lol: (hope I don't get banned for this :P)

ps: I'm sure you had a lot of chances to amend things with what.cd staff but instead you keep pushing your own head against a wall :frusty:
ps2: I wish you well :P
 
Ouch. This seems like one nasty little mess you got yourself into. At least you were honest with the staff, and they decided to give you another chance.

Hopefully one of the what.cd staff will see the thread.
 
^^ I don't know what whatman did to you but its the internet,it would be dumb of him to start from a point of trust going backwards.The right way is the other way around and while it obviously has its small flaws its the best of the two.

^^ 4 tvcy of course not you rart
