ok this keeps happening and keeps us laughing over at a particular tracker...

You guys/gals do know that if you give away a account or trade it, the ip changes, and most trackers have scripts that alert staff when an ip on an account changes ...right?

Bc we have caught 3 traders in the past few days who were so upset that they were caught that one came into our support channel and asked if we would talk to the user he traded to so he could get back the 10 trackers he traded to get an fsc account.


I just think its hilarious how naive some of you are and just wanted to let some of the younger members know...we do see your ips and we do notice when accounts change ips and we do remove the account.

There are over 200 million torrent users in the world, do you really think we will miss you? ...nope. ;)

So say an account goes from europe to canada...hmm that couldnt have been traded :lol::lol: and the Banana ban hammer gets deployed...

Just an informative ramble brought to you by the one and only banana ;-)

Merry Christmas and Happy New year!

And dont forget to bring a towel!
 
The wife and I will be going back to 'her England', after we hit our 4th wedding anniv. here in the states where we got married. Ofc I'll make sure to contact the staff of my trackers and or PM them with the details. We went back there for ~4 months a few years ago...all was ok till I got back to the US. When I logged back in SCT, their script seen the recent IP changes and it auto-banned me. Took me a few dayz but I finally got in touch with Deviant and got re-instated. :wacko:
Now if I so much as use a seedbox slot, I always make a note of it, and it's IP addy in my profile and pm a staffer just in case. Lol...
 
From my experience most trackers don't automatically alert Staff if the IP changes, otherwise this would be a nightmare for globetrotters or people with seedboxes in various countries.

However if the account is suspected of being traded then an IP change will obviously sway a member of staff's opinion.
 
they dont go crazy but when someone logs in and they see that its from USA and then someone else logs in from europe 3 hours later its pretty obvious what happened. also if you have 2 houses or a dynamic IP it wouldnt be a problem since they could easily find out that your IP is coming from the same place or some place close to your last login.

if someone really wanted to trade successfully they should pm the tracker staff and tell them that they're moving to wherever the other person live and then dont log in for a few days before letting the other guy log in. but then tracker staff could also tell if the new guy is using a new browser or something. theres too many things that can get you caught and thats not even factoring the ethical side to trading so it's a bad idea all around.

What about migrants?
Click to expand...

In 2007, the time of the last census , Canada received 236,760 immigrants so actually the immigration and birth rates in Canada are very similar.

However I think the vast majority of FSC users would have the forethought to inform the staff about their relocation .;)

Except maybe for fatcat , frankly he's a little dense.:mellow:
 
bitmeTV banned Brazil a long time ago and I couldn't log in anymore... than I traveled to europe for one month and during that time I logged in just to check if my account was still active and yes, it was hehe... nice!

came back to Brazil and one day I could access bitmeTV from home (I used to check from time to time) and voil
 
Once(few months back) I was travelling to another country(continent rather). I accessed all my tracker accounts, forums(including fst)from there and believe me that none except ptn banned or even warned me :idunno:(i got my account enabled again though). If you are interested, I can send you the list of trackers which I accessed from there, so that if there is a bug, it can be fixed(btw I can prove that It was actually me).
 
trackers notice ip classes changes, in a dynamic ip the change appears at the end of the address so it should be fine.im not sure maybe someone can clear this out ;)
 
For somebody who hosts sceners on rented ovh boxes I think it should be pretty apparent that IPs don't mean shit.
You probably don't use your real IPs here or as you BT so tha fucks the point of this thread?And if you do,then I think you oughta know better.

IP logging is good to some extent but I think it becomes something else when you are keeping logs from as far back as 2 years.
The worst of them all are those who keep donor information just as long(perhaps the reason why some people are hesitant when it comes to donating).

Its no longer that much about whom you let in on the site but rather those who run them.Look at fort knox then match it with TL to get the irony.

I'd honestly put money on it that as regards this IP issue and logging of potentially incriminating information,it only affects the average BT users.Staffers and site l337z0rs don't get logged although I've seen sites where the privilege can be extended to the average torrenter if they donate.

Again what was the point of this thread?

edit:read the first post,am just a victim of a thread that decided to go offtopic
