Cheating at dididave.com

they probably want to speedtest u to explain the hgih speeds. If they havnt pushed u for a speedtest u should be ok, but if the notices keep coming up it may only be a matter of time

I can't remember the exact quote , but it was something like this: High upload rate detected. Please contact staff...

It was more like "inconsistent upload speed detected, logged to staff IRC" or something... that scared me, but I got the message multiple times when using the Waffles method and nothing happened.

Ater losing their entire database yesterday, they were finally able to get the site back up but they don't have all of speed/cheat scripts running yet. I've been able to fake upload at much higher speeds without any warnings. This probably won't last much longer. I guess I'll go back to slow and steady.

Not turning on anticheat scripts? that sounds strange, unless it was by mistake

[BrianBosworth]

When sites lose their entire database and have to start over, makes it difficult for their current scripts to work correctly. If they would have been able to restore the entire database, all scripts would probably be working.

[saebrtooth]

its most likely that their database of torrents, users and scripts etc are not separate as the tracker software allows for the recording of all those things as one system.

Their anti-cheat scripts aren't the only ones that are gone at the moment:

FREE EMAIL CHECK SYSTEMS DISABLED -"FREE EMAILS CAN BE USED 4 NOW"
CONFIRM NEW ACCOUNT EMAIL SYSTEM DISABLED - "AUTO CONFIRMED"
SITE ON FREE LEECH FOR AT LEAST 1 WEEK WHILE WE WORK ON DATABASE FILES AND SITE
SERVER IP BLOCKS DISABLED
SERVER WAIT TIMES DISABLED

[saebrtooth]

so it was on purpose and not by mistake. Its like a freebie or sorry reward whilst we fix our mistakes

He-he, just in case nobody noticed - there is a column 'cheated' in 'Completed torrents' in user's profile, that shows a number. It could be 0 (assuming that means no cheating was detected) or 1,2,3,etc.
Have no idea what it suppose to indicate.
Anyways, tested with several months old account - jump in with 100% complete using RM, stop before announce (do not start the same torrent again if u don't want it to be shown in your snatchlist) speeds up to 750kB/s - no ban.

I also saw that during my brief stay on that place, but never gave it too much attention. Note DIDIDave will show a message in your client about reporting your speeds to the staff if you use high ones like 1MB/s. Perhaps that column counts how many times you triggered this "detection"?

I experienced the alert message first hand in the RM a few times, but nothing happened to my account.

I have never (yet) seen that message in RM 1.9.1, and surprisingly I have several marks 'cheated' for torrents that I did not cheat and used my real client with u/l speed <100kB/s. Go figure!
