Signups closed, time to start earning yer keep! - posted 3 weeks ago
As you may have noticed (or may not have), signups are now closed. Many thanks to FileShareFreak for their mention of us in a recent article, which can be read HERE, and welcome to any who may have signed up dü to that article.
Now that signups are closed, it is time for everyone to start earning their keep. Free leech has been going for a while now, and this too will end, as of next Sunday night, December 6th. Many new people have signed up during the long open signup period, and we are thankful for the increase in activity. However, many have taken advantage of our good faith, by hitting and running, or by signing up multiple accounts, or both. A massive cleanup effort will be underway by the staff to take care of such issüs.
Whether people are aware or not, hitting and running is against the rules, as is the practice of creating and using duplicate accounts, and this will be dealt with. Duplicate account holders will find ALL of their accounts disabled, with no chance for leniency. If you have duplicate accounts because of failure to receive a confirmation email, then your course of action should have been to either come into the IRC help channel (#TiT-Support) or to at least PM a staff member once you successfully gained entry to the site, and make them aware of the issü, so they could take the proper action in disabling the failed account. Rules are created for a reason, and are to be abided by without fail, barring special circumstances, in which case the last sentence would apply. We are far less likely to listen to, and excuse, something which we find on our own rather than being notified by a responsible member who shows concern about his standing within the community here.
Please take this time to get your ratio in good standing while free leech lasts, because you will soon have to go back to doing things the old-fashioned way, EARNING YOUR RATIO. Again, to make things clear, dupe accounts, hit-and-runners, and any other accounts with anomalies will be disabled, with no option to re-enable. We expect people to follow the rules, and if there is a problem complying with those rules, to be notified ASAP of the situation. We will not be responsible for anyone's lack of communication or failure to be a productive member of this community. We don't ask for a lot, and we give you as much as we can in return. We don't even beg you for donations, like some sites do, even though we sorely need them. Therefore, we will not be tolerant of deviations.
Please use TiT responsibly, and she will treat you well. This is a guarantee. Fail to be an upstanding member, and we will not fail in the execution of our duties to keep this community in good shape for those members who love and care for it.
