Personality disorder on SoulSeek: the compulsive banners
If you're familiar with SoulSeek you'll know what I'm talking about. This guy must be on his PC every minute of the day for sure watching for people to ban. Below are his rules for anyone downloading his stuff. Intense. That's all I have to say. Username: Trancet (I swear if you're on TA I will find you and kick your inbox's ass).This is what can be found under his User Info:
The rules are to help keep my queue times under an hour for the good ppl who share and help promote sharing on Soulseek . I try to be courteous to sharers. Just 2 rules: SHARE and DON'T OVERQUEUE. The details....
Queue 5 at a time, 10/day maximum (double if you are a friend or frequent source). There is no minimum time before you can add more once one finishes. Your deleted requests do NOT come off my upload queue until they are up for transfer so they count in the queued total but not in 10/day max. You can message me if you wish to change choices.
If you share less than 37 identifiable (artist and title in file name/path), complete, useful, music files (NOT m4a, mpc etc)---> ban
This includes "list only" ppl who "forget" to add me BEFORE downloading. I am NOT interested in hearing about your reason for not sharing, if it's a temporary condition, then wait till you are sharing before making requests.
If I have to wade through a sea of crap to find your music, or have to click more than 5 times to get to any actual files you are also in danger of ban, regardless of what may be buried in there.
If you have 0 upload slots (Max U/L) with files available to everyone and a queue full of victims = immediate BAN,IGNORE. If you are list-only then setting your public slots (Max U/L) to 0 is redundant and stupid.... why?... because not everyone knows that they are on your list and may simply avoid or ban you. BTW that's the only number that shows up when you get user info.. NOT the List slots or the total of the two.
Ban = banback
Queue >15 = instant ban, no checks, no warnings.
If you queue a whole folder by ACCIDENT message me IMMEDIATELY and you might not get banned.
If you whine you'll probably make my ignore list as well. You could have been banned months ago so don't ask me why you were banned... this info is here for you to figure it out.
In fairness I have an UNBAN policy for those banned more than 1 day ago... share more than 1K files of one of my 3 favorite genres (organized). Bummer if you're on ignore also. If you have 0 uploads you're still banned.
