it may not be fair to ban people who have not had a chance to prove themselves...but it is a lot of work to keep tabs on people and check all the abnormals the tracker reports...75% is just too high of a number to justify the work finding good members
 
It's not fair to punish the ones who are not cheating. I think that Israel was banned for political reasons and/or for cheating.

Romanian users are causing too much problems for most international private trackers. Users are keep inviting cheaters ( mostly Romanians ) and this takes a lot of resources for the staff to deal with.

Many private trackers have issued a warning to Romanian users for the cheating issue. Bitmetv has warned their users to stop cheating, referring specially to Romanian users.

I personally have accounts on 2 Romanian trackers ( filelist and extremeshare ). I don't even like to use them, since it's very obvious that lots of them are cheating. When I download torrents from the *.Ro sites, then my download speed is low ( typically 200 kb/s ) and my upload speed is high (1,3Mb/s). Other Romanian users are downloading at 3-4 Mb/s and I’m downloading at 200 kb/s. This only happens with Romanian trackers. I am owner of a 100/10 Mbit connection.
 
Do you think Romania and Israel should ever be allowed again on SCC,SCT and GFT?And what should change in order to make it possible?

U cant download the exact same stuff from other trackers? or is pre times and teh leetnes that important to you that you cant use other trackers?
 
The entire attitude that "i own a seedbox, i don't cheat, i don't sell invites or trade so i'm a good users and hence deserve a spot in any tracker i wish" is messed up.

just understand that you are a "guest" to private tracker and it'll make your torrent experience much easier. You do NOT deserve to be a member in any torrent sites. If you are part of one, be glad of it. Get that in your head by all means necessary. If you must, write that out in a piece of paper, cut your brain out, put the paper in, and seal your brain up.
 
That is your concept of private trackers.Why do you think people are punished for pirating?

However, cheaters don't simply download stuff; they steal stuff, and it's as bad as stealing something from a store or a friend in real life.

How do you explain the seedbox users making a buffer and then hit and run on every other torrent after they have enough "Positive ratio"?And why arent those people banned?

As you know, the Oink founder is now free because he was found innocent of any crime. It just proves to us that private trackers are legal.

And yet many others are punished.Exceptions exists,that dosent mean those exceptions is the reality.If you want to understand why the founder of OiNK was not punished then read the old articles in torrentfreak.
 
they already banned us , it's hard now to create a good image again and for them to unban us because what would the other users say : weak staff , easly influenced .
I hope they will come to a good conclusion and lift the ban's and individually ban users because i don't think that users will make the same mistake twice at least I hope not.

I wish good luck to all and hope this thread doesn't get flammed.
 
What should change? Their mentality (the user's one, not the tracker).
On another note, egypt was banned at elek because over 75% of their users were cheaters. This at a .ro tracker. Go figure.

With why you cheat.
And since I don't know you I cannot say definitively what kind of person you are but at the risk of generalization I would say that the vast majority of people you cheat or steal don't do it out of necessity.

You are perfectly right, that's why I don't belive in sudden change about .ro banning.The question is what should the rest of us do...
 
And let's say that there are 75% cheaters form .ro. What about the rest 25%.Should they also be punnished? Or should they emmigrate?And don't tell me collateral dammage...I have no valid option here!!!
 
I've heard from a staffer that over 80% of Romanian users got banned at his tracker.

Here's a story (a true one at that):

A Romanian user comes into IRC. Says: "How much to lift the Romanian global ban? Everyone's got a price."

I don't agree with banning whole countries, btw, but there's one thing you're forgetting, OP; torrenting is a hobby for people (even for staffers who do have RL jobs). So their time is limited plus the "budget" is limited. Not so with countries at war (well, all budgets are limited in some way, but you get what I mean).
