hello guys !
hehe ahh please don't close this great topic yet, it's our monthly fun
!
Before to explain you what is the Pleasuredome and what's his goal, I would like to tell you , as Pleasuredome's Ambassador, than all the valuable greek members are and will ever be welcome on our tracker.
The Pleasuredome has always had an excellent relationship with all the mame communities worldwide, including the Greek community. And we gonna keep those strong relations in this way.
To understand what's happend to some of you, it's important to know what's the Pleasuredome and what's our goal :
The Pleasuredome is an international community of people who decided, years ago, to preserve the remembrance of old arcade systems by sharing *for free* the arcade roms & CHDs with the largest amount of people , using the highest bandwidth as possible.
After testing some other system (FTP...), we decided to use the bitorrent P2P protocol, because it was -and still is- the most appropriate files sharing system for this, due to the large size of the roms & CHDs sets.
Because we choosed to use bitorrent as protocol, and because we choosed to be an "open" community (= not closed registrations, no invite system) , and (this is the most important) because we plan to do this on a long term, the only choice avaible is to have very strict rules.
I know than our rules are strict, but they are so simple ... Those rules are there because our priority is to offer the best "service" as possible , on a long term.
When a member don't share enough, he's promoted to a status called "shitlist" wich is a second chance offered by the community. Most of the other private trackers simply ban, we don't. We always offer a 2d chance.
Then,when an user is shitlisted, we do our best to help him to understand than everybody must have a 1:1 ratio. So is bitorrent, and because like in a real life, if somebody share with you, you need to share with him....
When a shitlisted member fails due to many reasons -inactivity, port problem, client problem...- we reshitlist him .
Sometimes, a few shitlisted users decided to not accept this status, and they create another account to bypass the shitlist. Then , we permanently ban them.
So is the end of a small minority of users : permanently banned.
You already know that, because most of you are -or were
- members of the Pleasuredome.
BUT , to understand what happend it's important to know our policy about permanently banned users :
When a permanently banned user creates another account, then it's a security issue, and we treat this problem as every critical security issue.
For the Pleasuredome staff, creating multiple accounts is a security issue, and we fight them like for server hammering or hax0ring, D.O.S. attacks, cheating by using Leech-mod torrent client. And believe me , we do it very seriously...
That's why some of you were banned : because it's a security issue, each member who help (actively or not) somebody to break our defenses/protections is immediatly and permanently banned. We are pitiless : whatever your ratio is , even you uploaded some Terabytes , dealing with our protections= permanent ban .
As you can read , I am not here to blame X or Y, but simply to explain you what's happend and why it happends.
The Pleasuredome Staff works to preserve the Pleasuredome community on the long term. The goal we deserve (=to keep sharing on a long term with the highest bandwidth as possible) is more important than a few individuals , that's why we are pitiless.
We are pitiless, but fair too, so I have personnaly unbanned Tasoulhs and grip (thanks to Maddog and a few other members of the emulation community -Greek or not-)
One more time : the Pleasuredome and mame.gr deserve the same goal : to preserve the remembrance of the arcade systems, by sharing the arcade roms, the informations, the fun, and often : some friendship.
Have fun !
