    Default PTP and proplem with Paypal

    heeey all Hi all,

    Earlier this morning, our paypal account was frozen - it was suspected that our site was the front for some sort of child exploitation service. We have had to set up a different method of donating, since our current funds are inaccessible.

    It's not exactly clear who has reported us for such behavior, as it's totally "out there", but we are just going to have to move on and hope that stays behind us. We have to change the way we do donations from now on, at least for some time until we can resolve our quarrel with paypal.

    If you'd like to donate, you may join us on our and click on the help channel. We will send you our paypal address and give you donor status and an invite.



    You may also PM and I will give you the address to use. We also have one more option: then PM with your transaction ID.

    Thanks for your time, we hope to get past this struggle.


    Esophagus edit:
    Here is what seems to be known so far. All of the funds on the account have been frozen. Dexter, former SysOp of PTP until a few days ago, was the one who handled this sort of thing and accessed the account directly. For whatever reason he is unreachable at the moment (we don't suspect him of anything) so Z tried to set up a new account to help get us through the emergency. As a new account that one was also frozen until Z provides his SSN and some form of ID which he is weary of doing. We don't know why the first account was frozen and we don't know who did it. We do know we're doing everything in our power to try and fix this and want to stick around.

    Paypal strikes again.

    When will the trackers learn to use Google Checkout or Alertpay? Paypal is simply too shady for words.

    Simply because most people do not use google checkout or alertpay. Paypal is still a good way of payment but it's the ones who pay then make a dispute straight after that causes alot of the problems..

    I also prefer Paypal as I can use prepaid credit cards on my account, a few of the other online banking places don't alloow them yet. However it seems that Paypal will freeze your account if you add too many prepaid cards which happened to me, but then you create a new account and start again.

    Don't get me wrong here, I love PTP and it is one of my favorite trackers; but the almost quarterly drama situations are starting to be disturbing.

    It isn't too hard to figure out why there was a a complaint about "child exploitation" given the story with an earlier sysop/admin. And then there was the sudden fund drive last time around with the Pham divorce.

    Now, another sysop is unreachable and the site is making a vague funding drive so it can "stick around".

    As I stated before- I love the site and pretty much use it exclusively for my movie needs, love the layout, love my 100GB buffer and PU status....but not so in love with the dramas.

    UPDATE: Apparently there are numerous updates to the situation. The last 2-3 pages of the discussion thread there explains more detail.
