I was raised and still live on the principle that respect is a two way traffic.If you show me none,there is no way you'll be seeing any coming from me(and thats how self respecting men live,right?).You insisting that OLegL shows deference to people who treated him like dirt calling him a retard for not knowing the technical aspects of encoding translates to you advising him to suck up to them as much as he shouldn't(mind you something that he had already tried and failed at even before you suggested it to him) and that in essence is what would make him a child.Going down swinging(as unorthodox as his method has been)is what a real self respecting person does and for that i've recognized him(even though futile).
I don't necessarily agree with his thread let alone care(I don't even know the names he's polling on)but its not for us to pretend to be high-minded people who have a license to pass judgement.He got mistreated and banned unjustly and if this is his way of saying am now ready to move on then so be it.
You've also brought image several times and to tell you the truth its what ails this forum at times.There are people who make posts just for the sake of it(alot of times i'll fall under this category) then there are those who make them just to gain favor with staffers or as part of their grand scheme for the next big catch(too much politics that I don't wanna get into).This is partly why I feel nauseated when browsing through TPS and sadly its starting to take effect on here too and apart from a few,alot of staffers and members are falling for this horse shit.
Moving on though,have you thought of a situation where OLegL isn't upto any favors or invites for that matter?don't you think this lack of need ultimately defeats the purpose of self censorship?What image is to keep really?
Finally i've seen you and rart suggest that its their tracker and they are at will to do whatever tha fuck they want with it or the members for that matter(i'll pause and ask you,does that statement really sound fair/right/correct or true for an objective thinker?).If it was their tracker,would it even be in existence today?its people like OLegL through their donations,bandwidth and time that have built hdbits into what it is today,same applies to many other sites.So you trying to justify this hooligan haphazard ban along this line is improper(and I recall linking you to something about how stiffler(once a staffer) got banned from scT when you were all on staffers always being right/correct/fair.)
Anyways,I don't really know who OLegL is,never talked to him but as much as this thread has been a bad idea,the spirit behind it is more than justified.Am sure hdbits is not run by kiddies but hell those who run it sure acted like kiddies on OLegL and his ban.
May be not m8 but it is worth thinking of what your actions can do when posting on message boardsI don't think that staffers at hdbits and sdbits really care about people who post at FST, so I don't think I will have any problems on other trackers.
I see sez has moved on as got no where with the last person he thought would be an easy target :lol:
He said take it to pm then not even got the manners to reply as clear by now must realise he was in the wrong.
Now any decent person would have replied or at least of a minimum said sorry, but hey I guess sez thinks he too good to do that.
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.
A well deserved ban,eh?I still didn't tell you why I had been banned from hdbits/sdbits. This is how I got banned: I was in the #hdbits channel, and sportcenter didn't have % next to his nick, which made him look like a regular person in the channel, so nwo said something about it, and I joked that sportcenter was pretending to be a regular guy in the channel and that's why he didn't have % next to his nick. This is when nwo banned me from the channel. So I told sportcenter, "If you unban me in the #hdbits channel, I will immediately upload my DVDs to sdbits." After that, I started creating my offers on sdbits with the intention of uploading the DVDs after people would vote for these offers, but when the system op of sdbits memineours found out what I had told sportcenter ("If you unban me in the #hdbits channel, I will immediately upload my DVDs to sdbits."), he banned me from the sdbits tracker. When I started complaining about my sdbits ban on an hdbits forum, I was banned from hdbits as well. So, in one day I was banned from two trackers.![]()
Youse the one that needs to take those chill pills.I don't think am the only one who has seen staffers have a go at it in a more wicked way than this and if you really took time to know why this guy was banned,you wouldn't be on his neck like the way you are now.It doesn't reflect well on you or your site when you make posts suggesting that you would happily ban him if he was on your tracker then proceed to hand over his IP and personal details to a third party just coz he made this thread(you need some marketing 101 classes by the way as I don't see this as the proper marketing language for a site that just chucked).
His approach to the situation may not have been the best out there but your lectures are largely being unfair(its like you are threatening him or something)
wowwtf does your statement have anything to do with what the OP asked/said or the thread for that matter?or should I just pass and ask cabalo instead?
I have not said I would hand over his ip and have not said I would ban him, have said glad he does not appear to be a member.
So I suggest you re-read what I have put.
Yes I did say take a chill pill.
If he was a member would not be banned from GTi for this, people only get banned from GTi for actions there, but I do know trackers that will ban for this sort of thing, which is why I was trying to, at times a lighthearted way i.e. the chill pill comment (common phrase around my area), get him realise the way he as approached this is not the best method.
+1Bottom line...grow the fuck up, OLegL! :dry:
OP, do you have any idea how much people put into staffing at a tracker? Just sayin'.
I certainly don't want drunk drivers on the road
Got no arguement on that m8 it is but do you not think that the way the post is other trackers will not be wanting you in there ranks due to your re-action here.
Do remember a lot of people here use diff names than they do on sites and if ordianary torrenting people can do that do you not think owners and staff will and may not even post?
That's not the point. The point is that they have a truly bizarre mentality...
Are you asking me if I have any idea how many people are staffers on trackers? I only mentioned the staffers that I spoke to in this poll, though I actually never spoke to nwo.
:lol: I suck at emails,a number of people here can confirm this to you.
