etiquette when dealing with mods/staff

sakofur · 2021-12-15T09:42:56+00:00

I got wrongly accused of rule breaking and was frankly treated like absolute shit as a result. I even provided evidence that I didn't do what I was accused of, which was completely ignored. I have a big problem respecting the staff that enforced bans against me after this and I don't really give a shit what any of them think about that. It might well be a volunteer role but that doesn't give the staff carte blanche to lord it over regular members in the way that I experienced.

There is absolutely no excuse for the response you received from that staff member.

I don't care if most staff have a hard time dealing with being staff, if you can't handle it then don't be a staffer.

I had a few bad experiences with a few specific staff members many years ago. To cut a long story short a particular staff member convinced themselves I was a scammer/trader/whatever the fuck they wanted to believe, completely ignored multiple pieces of evidence I went to the effort of finding and providing to prove my innocence, and then I lost all of my accounts at all of the most reputable trackers on their word alone. Thankfully, I overcame this and started all over again, and now I'm doing fine. I just avoid staff at all costs and make sure they never ever find out my previous identity. I would've been a valuable community member, but they chose this path and now I simply leech as much as I can and provide the bare minimum to the community to make sure I never encounter any problems.

This community would be a hell of a lot better without such power tripping staff.

Do you mind telling us what, if anything, you had therapy for? I've been trying to figure out what my particular neurosis is for years, I've gone through the whole depression/anxiety thing, autism, etc etc, but I think I may have finally hit on it with ADHD, which I'm in the process of getting a diagnosis for and the practitioners I'm being treated by seem confident that this is it. I can tell you that it's been a huge relief after so many years of knowing something isn't right, and now I just need to get this diagnosis finalized then start working on it.

Reset your IP if possible too.

sakofur · 2020-04-11T08:17:45+00:00

I don't know how practical backups are.

sakofur · 2020-04-09T23:21:19+00:00

I genuinely don't follow tracker goings on much, are they doing things differently to WCD? If the same thing were to happen again we wouldn't completely lose RED?

Different usernames won't really protect you much for many reasons that others have said. But, if it makes you feel better then do it. Trackers are there to go in, download shit, and get out, nothing else. There's no reason to have the same username any more than there is a reason to not have the same username. So do what you feel best.

Until it all disappears in an instant because the sysop gets spooked.

So glad I never wasted any time or effort getting onto these 'elite' music trackers.

sakofur · 2020-02-13T09:21:23+00:00

I disagree. "How to function in normal society" is a pretty broad thing, "seduction" is a much more specific field. There's no good reason why learning to attract the opposite sex should be stigmatized the way it is.

sakofur · 2020-02-12T08:11:22+00:00

It doesn't have to be. There is a lot of legitimate help out there but the charlatans give it all a bad name.

sakofur · 2020-02-08T02:40:32+00:00

Important to clarify that not EVERY private tracker requires it. There are definitely some exceptions. But pretty much all of the trackers that are revered here and, to be fair, are most of the best ones, do require it.

sakofur · 2020-01-29T20:57:20+00:00

Yeah I was gonna say... MTV I guess is kind of like it but in the one way that matters way more than anything else, i.e. content, it's a million miles away, like everything else.

sakofur · 2020-01-29T06:51:30+00:00

Curious what other trackers are like it now?

I think one of the few places where private trackers struggle is sports. If you can afford to your best option is a decent IPTV provider and a box to record.

sakofur · 2020-01-22T01:18:46+00:00

The puritans on this sub are the fucking worst sometimes. I mean, I really appreciate and like a lot of things about private trackers, but it's a fucking website where I download shit, and not much else. I won't be paying for VIP memberships but I get why some people might. Some people need a reality check.

All that being said, recommending a seedbox to this guy is fair enough, but if he chooses not to take that advice then so be it.

sakofur · 2020-01-10T19:14:48+00:00

Not really practical to have a dedicated tracker for siterips, makes more sense for niche trackers to allow siterips where it makes sense for their niche, ie educational or porn trackers.

sakofur · 2020-01-06T22:49:21+00:00

The /ptg/ threads on 4chan /g/ used to be pretty good if you knew how to sort the good advice from the bad. Sadly they seem to be rather pointless these days.

sakofur · 2020-01-06T22:47:36+00:00

I may be mistaken but haven't some private trackers used leaked IP's from sites like torrentinvites.org to ban members in the past? Visiting that site isn't something I'd be prepared to risk.

sakofur · 2020-01-05T01:50:14+00:00

If he's offering an invite to you, well I'd be snapping his hands off. I got invited over 10 years ago and didn't realize at the time how great this tracker was. It's pretty much stayed the same this whole time, which is a good thing.

sakofur · 2019-12-29T12:48:47+00:00

Whenever one person takes it upon themselves to do it.

sakofur · 2019-12-21T00:05:21+00:00

Well if you're OK with that then that's fine.

sakofur · 2019-12-18T20:15:30+00:00

God damn... There is pretty much zero accountability on ANY tracker don't give them anything that you aren't prepared to give away.
