How stupid and abusive are scenehd staff?
I'm writing to share my experience being abused by scenehd staff recently and would like you guys to share similar experiences.
I'm new to torrent and do not have any friend who can give me invite for free. I assume there is NOTHING wrong about this.
BUT I want to have access to private tracker such as scenehd and I can either ask for or pay for the invite. Asking does not work since no one replied to my request AND I have the money to buy an invite from a seller. I bought one myself from someone on this site. However, I would never pay for one if I can get it for free.
Then my account got disabled, I went to scenehd Help on IRC. I told them that I have been travelling a bit and has not been able to use my torrent much and that was why the ratio was low (but still within acceptable level).
Their staff questioned me as if I was a thief: who gave me the invite, where did I meet him/her, how much did I pay for it.
I told them damm it, otherwise they reactive my account or fuck it off.
They then told me the nick of the people who sold me the invite, my profile on this site, bla bla.
They said they hate seller and people who buy invite but in fact they are real Thief as:
1. They harbour piracy of copyrighted materials. It is an offence downloading copyrighted materials, even once.
2. They must have hacked into someone computer to know that the people who sold me the invite is an seller. This is obvious illegal.
However, they try to act as if they are clean. How comes that they beg for every single $ donation to pay to run their website for free and actually they are deficit in many cases while other people still make money at their back.
More than one staff was questioning me and one of them was actually on social welfare.
My point is, all these torrent things are basically profit free. However, it is fair to pay/contribute some modest amount of money to keep the site running and so on. Why don't they just collect small fee from user when registering or a tiny maintenance fee in stead of begging for donation. This will help them to be financially viable and give people an decent entry in stead of paying someone to get an invite. Then they will not have to question people how comes that they got the invite.
In my experience, these people are STUPID, ARROGANT and ABUSIVE. What do you think?
I know that there can be many spies from scenehd here. Please identify yourself if you want to defence it.
