the moral of the story is, if you don't hang out in #circlejerk, you won't be banned!
It's their fucking tracker, let them run it the way they want. Just because YOU don't approve of their exam-esque methods doesn't mean everyone does.
Maybe they want people to know the difference between XviD and 720p before they join the tracker.
"If you unban me in the irc channel, I'll immediately upload my stuff."
We could have a spelling contest, banning those who's spelling is crap, because they are, so blatantly, journalists.
maybe you are retarded ? :whistling
But as I said, I passed the small test that I had been required to take after receiving an hdbits invite. What I am complaining about is their attitude toward me when I was in their irc channel: they were constantly calling me retarded in the channel and they told me to check my IQ. I find it weird that they were saying it just because I had less knowledge than they did about high-definition, about PAL/NTSC, and etc.
haha good answer !This is an interesting question and a philosophical one.
Or we could have a maths exam. Anyone who gets 2+2 wrong is either George Bush, or one of his close friends.
Oh, you mean elitists? I see.
Well first of all there are lots of rough private tracker IRCs out there that will leave you a sociopathic worse-than-rabies maniac, but you gotta learn to ignore them or just not attend the IRC anymore, if the above applies to you. Simply put some IRCs are full of assholes and you should stay away.
Also, a hot girlfriend might help you in these types of situations - next time they bring up NTSC framerates and call you retarded, make your gf hold up a sign with your name on it while naked/semi-naked, take a pic, upload, and watch the nerds reach for the tissues either for pain or pleasure. Either way, you win.
//good luck
That really fucked you over. Why did you upload your stuff when you weren't banned?
Apparently we are. The classes are just different ways to label people. If you really think staff classes like admin, moderator, or even vip are capitalistic in any way I'd hate to break it to you but a monarchy is much closer when considering the classes.
Capitalism has to do with greed aka profit and gains and money. It has nothing to do with a commune or community which is what trackers are.
