You seriously don't know who you are talking about in this case with BlastGT1 and Muddslinger, toddle off & do some research first, they are both very senior and respected members of the BT community, Serb on the other hand.....
The site is closing primarily for other reasons, but this debacle certainly sped things up. Serb was a Mod, then an Admin on TiT, was also a Mod on GFT. He disappeared some weeks back, probably due to him wedging himself in deep with sceners. Honestly, it made our jobs on TiT a fair bit easier, but it didn't stop the PM's and bragging about "I did this" or I caused that" which thoroughly disgusted both of us.
In the end, finding out that some people would rather dismiss his actions and keep him for his lone asset prompted me to immediately decide to shut the site down, rather than do what I mentioned in the post that was copied from the TPS forums. I didn't think it was prudent to have TiT either directly or indirectly contributing to, or benefitting from, someone of this nature.
I'm sure Serb will find this thread, as he will find others, and if he pre's on us, then so be it. We've got some scruples, he apparently doesn't. The sad thing is, he doesn't see that he's wrong to do what he's doing.
I'll raise this one more level, and see if I can shock FST with the statement. Assuming you aren't already aware, that is.
Serb once told me that he had access to either a current or former FST staffer's account, and that's where at least some of his info was coming from. I don't know whose account, so I can't help you there, but there you go, and access was willingly given to him, so he says.
Anyway, all that aside, I expected some flaming when I was pointed to this thread. I'm pleasantly surprised to see some level heads prevailing, and appreciate the good sentiment, even if we won't agree on all things bittorrent. It's nice to know that we can earn respect for being decent human beings once in a while.
Cheers.
Who the fuck are you to tell him what he "should have done". There are tons of people who have/had the power to do something. Now you are attacking the person who did do something. Makes perfect senseWhatever you did wasn't enough. I too talked to Detale about it and voiced my opinion in public against Personal Information exposure, but that didn't change much did it?
You should have acted on it right away. You should have gotten rid of him from TiT to teach him a lesson, or at least taking away his privileges for a month or two.
You can say whatever to defend yourself but the fact and the matter is that you had the power to do something about what serb was doing and you didn't.
I don't need to know any facts to know that you acted like a coward.
Go ahead though. Enjoy criticizing him now because it really means something.
You're supposing he cared to read the opening post. Don't put your expectations too high. :ermm:You seriously don't know who you are talking about in this case with BlastGT1 and Muddslinger, toddle off & do some research first, they are both very senior and respected members of the BT community, Serb on the other hand.....
That was probably it till it got real with one of them.I suppose the temptation is there to turn a blind eye as they're not people you know personally, so it won' t affect you, right? No real harm being done, is there?
If the term Global Ban applies, there is someone who indeed deserves it.

By the way, thanks to mudd and blastergt1 for the tip, that leak was fixed, and so will be many other potential ones.
Noone is saint. You too.
Very well saidAm glad that blast and mudd have taken a stand but all factors considered,this thread is basically a toxic mix of dissimilation,hypocrisy and duplicity.
Hey, you don't have to worry anymore about posting moderation, as you see everyone posts here what passes through his head.
As for serb, I don't give a dime. If you all say Serb is such a threat for many why were you frightened to take measures in consequence? fack if it was for me , first mistake -> bum headsh00t
