Hello active users
This is an informational post that we hope none of you will ever need to worry about.
Over the past few years we've had disabled users come into our IRC #help channel looking to get enabled. They've been disabled for a variety of reasons but for the most part it's simply inactivity as real life has gotten in the way.
Some of these users have had very high use before being disabled, some very mediocre. Some have even been unused. For the most part, we enable without qualm or question (apart from why they let the account lapse) but we've had several be enabled up to three times beforehand and they still go on and let their account lapse. They then wander back in, sometimes after a few years gone, ask for an enable and get quite narked when we decline as we don't believe they'll be active users (based on their previous record).
We've put our heads together to try to find a solution to this issue. We have decided that we could enable a previously (multiple) enabled user upon a donation of $17. This donation could be used for up to 60GB of upload credit or a month's ratio freeze. This would be a show of faith to us that the user values the account as well as an incentive for said user to actually use the account. No tracker wants idle users. We see it as both sides winning, user gets credit to get back in the game, we get to keep the lights on. It should also be noted that this is entirely voluntary.
Please note: This does not apply for users that have a grandfathered account from one of our banned countries. Your account is fine but should you go inactive, for whatever reason, there will not be the opportunity offered of being enabled.
