FileFactory Issues

[koufalakos]

Hello all.

I just wanted to share this experience with you all so that you don't waste your time with those Russian scam artists.

A while ago I registered there and started uploading. I made some money and requested it. The first reply I got to one of the numerous emails I sent them was that I had "fraudulent" traffic (too many free users downloaded my stuff and nobody was going premium). When I told them that I don't know why that happened, they had to find another excuse.

The other excuse was that I had too many abused files. Also, you can't mirror your files with FF. If you do, you just won't get paid. After a few days, my account got suspended. I won't get into specifics, if I do this will become a huge post and not many people will bother to read it.

If you have any self-respect and don't want to waste your time, don't post there. It's as simple as that.

Thank you for your time

My neighbors former dentist is half Russian, and I object to this post!

Is this a joke?

Am I supposed to laugh?

Unfortunately that could happen on any host where rewards,
especially cash are on offer

In the rapidshare thread,during the reward scheme free for all it came up more than once "what if this request gets my account suspended"
because the reality is we're all sharing copyrighted material which violates all the hosts TOS....

Luck of the draw as to wether their feeling vigilant or generous everytime you redeem

Other cash reward hosts have rejected cash requests giving no explanation
a few times that I've seen not mentioning names

OK, so it sounds like you post or posted to try and make money and it backfired on this host.
$ posters talking about self respect

That is not an uncommon event.
Why warn people - let the other $ posters use FF and then you can make even more by their misfortune/s

I have no idea how far and wide you spread your posts, but your initial post comes across as warning people who post for the $ that FF don't pay 'properly'; however here [PSzy] you seem to use FSonic.

Is that due to a combination their better payments and/or PATM rules enabling the creation of mirrors of existing posts?

Either which way, Fsonic files over 400mb are not allowed here, since they cannot be d/loaded free; and the first post of yours I saw broke that rule, so maybe take a check and see if you have any other posts here like this which also break that rule before drawing more attention to yourself:

I am sorry but I have just read your same sob story C&P somewhere else and my interest sympathising with $ posters who did not get paid is wearing a little thin.

[koufalakos]

I read both your posts, here and "somewhere else".

I never sobbed, bitched or complained. About my post, sorry, it will not happen again. However, you will see that my Fsonic posts are very few, and that's just because I just started using it. I also never mirrored FF files, I was aware of the rule.

As for "uploading for $" you needn't be so "shocked". A lot of people upload to get their subscriptions renewed, what is that called? If they didn't upload, wouldn't they have to pay for the service provided?

About your "interest sympathising with $ posters who did not get paid is wearing a little thin." I have no problem if you don't sympathise with $$ posters at all, it's a free world, right?

I made that post in order to discredit FF and to prevent people from uploading there.

FF should be banned in all forums, maybe that's how it will close down and stop scamming people.

That's all.

Maybe FF got Money Problems ?

That can be the reason, why they go down from
13$/101MB in Group B to 6$/125MB

Nevermind.

If FF pay nothing i still upload there. (my last 2 uploads got
no FF Mirror, because i still upload.
First 2GB to FS then 2GB to FF)

I like FF, they got a very good Content Managment System, and FF
is good for Mirrors, and there are more reasons to Upload as Money.

Seems to me this is a case of the pots calling kettles black.

Bottom line is if you are posting copyrighted material for $ (or any other reason for that matter) you are ripping off somebody else - i.e. the copyright holder. Not passing judgement with that statement - it's just a simple fact.

So we shouldn't get too upset when the hoster pulls the $ rug out from under us, 'cause we didn't have a leg to stand on in the first place.

I apologise for the metahpors.

koufalakos - please note oxana's point about FileSonic files over 400MB. They will make it look like you can download it for free. However, after the 60 second countdown, you will get the message: "Download Error: Oops! The file that you're trying to download is larger than 400Mb."

The post has been removed. Be aware that such posts can get you warnings and infractions.
