My boyfriend? Apparently he downloaded the source code for Transmission (the client) and changed some piece of code that tells the server "I am Transmission!" to say to the server "I am XUIO!" *shrug*
I wouldn't be so upset about it if the rules had actually said "Hey, Transmission is one of the clients that's not allowed" because there is a list of banned ones. But it's not.
But yeah Kai is right. I'd heard bad bad news about ever needing help or having to talk to or deal with the mods. The worst thing in the world is a nerdy indie kid with power.
Rubby:
That is a sort of bad thing to do though.

Well the thing is, if you try to download a torrent from OiNK with transmission, it will say "Transmission is not allowed, please use a different client", and once you switch your client, everything will be fine.
Your boyfriend tryed to trick the server into letting him use Transmission, which has a problem with upload bad blocks.
brandie:
*shrug* Like I said, I honestly don't know very much about this stuff. I understand now that it wasn't him just "fixing" it, but I also don't see why they couldn't just say "OK, well, we'll give you a warning but if you use the right client we won't ban you."
Cuz I really was contributing and uploading quite a bit. My ratio was already above 1 and I had pushed about 6.5G, including uploading 2 new torrents.
Oh well. I also understand that there's no incentive for them to be nice or understanding because there's 1000 other people who are waiting in line to take my place.
Spike:
I was thinking of asking for an invite, but it seems like a hell of a lot more trouble than it's worth. I'll stick with demonoid.
