prediciton: no matter what the outcome of this poll is - nothing will change ...
edit: still everyone should vote for yes of course. i'm convinced that the closing of the trading section would make fst a better place.

^Yes I too have a feeling the outcome will not change at all. This is the second time we go over this same Poll. The first time I felt a little teased matter fact.
Maybe you must check system and configure it not to cheat by users.
why do people cheat on trackers?
-poor upload speed depending on location
-cant keep up the pace with seedboxes so that they upload less
-some other reasons which doesnt come up my mind now
-for passion(to be an uploadmania,so to have some extra gainings;invite or something else)
So nearly except the 4th one,you can prevent all of these reasons.What shall you do?
having no ratio system
staying online in irc and get upload.
posting in forums(100 posts means 20 gb upload credits)
competitions which u can add upload credit to the winner
invite tree system(bring 3 good users,if they become powers users,you get 75 gb upload)
These examples are just coming up my mind.More can come if you all discuss with staff.
And so you can easily prevent cheaters.Maybe you cant prevent them all.but u can absorbe them mostly.
You can try to have other trackers' cheating system,coz i think cheating systems are different tracker by tracker.So you can cooperate with other admins and use their cheating system.
I think it is all up to you.
I voted yes, but the difference is I am aware of the politics here on FST so even if there is an overwhelming yes, say 9/10 votes, it will still make no difference. It is simple math the bt trades & bt giveaways sub forums generate a large proportion of the page impressions which are served and therefore are a large slice of the advertising revenue. Since at the end of the rainbow we are talking about revenue generated, the likelihood of the management closing a revenue generating section is not terribly likely ?
and suffer with download speeds and seeders right?? Seeders and leachers make up most of the community, not the cheaters. He can't change up his whole system because of a few bad apples, but he is trying to come up with new ways to get rid of cheaters without contradicting the efficiency of the tracker.
With this many unrresponsible and selfish users it seems impossible to have a perfect tracker. You're either going to have one flaw or another. You can never have both
Edit. This is getting a little offtopic btw.
If that will make the giveaway section has a better attention and pple start thinking of what P2P really means ( Share Ur Invites ) , then I think we don't really need a place where u can find strong pple have everything and weak pple have nothin .
And let the the invites distribution take another road , like to be distribute depend on needs and intrests , not because anyone's familly member going to get hurt if he hasn't been invited .
Didn't mean any hard feelings toward anyone , but i think both sides ; or maybe there are more sides , have some reason to act like that , and having some sections for them .
So my opinion is clear now , I hope u can take my opinion easily .:)
let it be. let everybody answers only for theirs acts. if the man is an idiot, nothing can helps him, so there is no anything negative in the trade section
we had thatQuote:
invite tree system(bring 3 good users,if they become powers users,you get 75 gb upload)
still have it actually, just not everyone has referrals.
We also have the Sp system, all you have to do is seed, even if there is no leechers on a torrent, you can get a 1:1 ratio on that torrent.
we have done away with PU and SPU now as well, so nothing is based on ratio.
So yes, we are trying to come up with a good solution (it wont be perfect, nothing ever is) but it has to be better than no ratio at all, and just a ratio system.
