Thread: bitmetv warn romanian

why always romanian??




From bitmetv

"We are getting pretty sick of the Romanian cheating, account hijacking, flooding the irc with swearing, lying, hacking. You name it - it is happening and every day for months now. We have just about had enough and again are considering a complete Romanian ban.
IT IS OUT OF CONTROL and it better stop and stop NOW !!!

ALL OF THE ABOVE is ONLY comming from Romanian members and NO OTHER COUNTRY.

We can also assure you that if we do ban Romania - we will be talking with other sites about them doing the same.

ENOUGH!!! "

No offense to Romanian users, but why do each and every tracker have to ban Romania. There must be something very very wrong with Romanian users.

I never had a problem with them until I got my SCC account hacked and later disabled because of the compromise. Staff told me some dude from Romania logged in and changed my email and password. I got a new one now, but I had a good buffer on it before and now I gotta start all over. Here's a recent announcement:

We have seen a recent rash of accounts being hi-jacked by unscrupulous individuals. And as a result, we are having to disable for too many accounts. It's important that users take the time to ensure their account security, else they get compromised & subsequently disabled.

The likely routes for getting your account compromised include keeping an insecure or non-unique password for the site or your email, and getting trojaned.

Use a secure (non-dictionary) and UNIQUE password. Don't use a password that you use anywhere else. Many sites keep their password indexes in plaintext (worst case), or unsalted, and a compromise may occur or unscrupulous admin may abuse your password.

Keep your machine(s) clean. As generally security principles, install your OS from known clean media (for Windows, validate your iso against the MSDN checksum); run anti-virus and/or monitor your machine for suspect processes (using something OTHER then taskmgr); and be very careful with what you download and install.

When logging in from a public location, do basic checks to ensure the machine's security, and ALWAYS logout of your account after you are done.

If you're logging in from a public wifi network, make sure you're using an HTTPS connection, otherwise the dude sitting next to you probably just got your password.

Never divulge your passkey or password to ANYONE; SCC staff won't ask you for these private details. Sharing your account is a great way to lose your account; you never know when even your best friend might stab you in the back.

Your account security is your responsibility so keep it secure and remember that we disable ALL compromised accounts no exceptions.

I'm not surprised, because all p2p thinks romanian are gipsys, cheaters, fakers and etc etc.
Yeah, they have right, many of romanian users(ages between 10-16 years) are that kind of users, but others are very, very good users. That's life, always bad is more than good.
Anyway, what will be the future? Romania will be banned on all trackers? C'mon dude.
For me, is not any problem and i think many belive that, but will see what happened.
"we will be talking with other sites about them doing the same." suckers. Why you need to talk with other trackers? Did you think that on other trackers they don't do that? Jiiizzas. . .

Anyway, freshon rulz for .Ro. "ENOUGH!!! "

I don't say they don't have right or they can't, i just want to ask why they can't ban those with problems?
and also, why IPt (one of the best trackers and without 1337 things) don't ban Romania? If you don't know, let me say you that ipt was hacked,flooded by romanian users and also many many fakers.
It's mentality.

wtf is wrong with this country between Romania and Egypt they keep the tracker staff busy, reminds me when GFT gave them a break and what it lasted 2 days jeez

You mean P2P scene in general right? I'm P2P_seeder, not P2P_hater .

Seriously though, they have some of the fastest fiber optic networks in the world that they can take advantage of. So why cheat? Of course all the trading, selling, hijacking, etc. can be attributed to the country ban in the first place. So until Romania gets their act together this cycle will never end for them.

It's like shadowbuild said, most trackers have tried their best dealing with bad users with individual IP bans and then with bans on IP ranges. Tracker scripts can only do so much so it's up to the staff to do the rest, which takes time when it happens so frequently. Finally after so much of the same problems over and over again from the same country they just say "fuck it, let's just ban the whole country," which in turn gives the staff their valuable time back to do other tracker related duties.

yes i am a romanian ,and yes some of us do dumb things but bannig entire countries is not what bittorrent is about BMTV sayed they wil talk with other tracker`s staff but what if TvT.ro Filelist.ro and Iplay would ban all countryes and let only Romania??? you don`t think is fair?

easy IPT dont care

I can understand the good romanian torrenters complaining about what they percieve as unjust action taken against there country. The thing is, these sites have taken these steps because they have been forced too. The staff put there time into these sites and why should they have to put up with the cheats , scammers etc.

You are taking it too personal, if it was say England or Ireland im sure they would do the same. There are obviously too many active bad torrenters from romania floating about
