About my situation regarding PM's

[Skiz]

Personally, I don't offer any invites here unless it's someone that's been around a long time and I know them; but that doesn't happen very often really. Most of us have all that we need.

I certainly don't have any problem with excessive PM's. I've only had noobs asking for invites maybe 2 or 3 times total. Do you guys spend an excessive amount of time in the 'Bit-Torrent Invites' section offering/requesting invites to merit all these PM's? Apparently so. It's just part of the consequences of entering into that particular section of the forum, deal with it. Or as madden said, insert a comment into your sig stating that you will not reply to univited PM's.

It doesn't make any difference....I tried it and you still get the dickheads who pm you. I know you can simply ignore them and delete the pms but its like junk email....it still pisses you off.

I gave up offering/trading invites for several reasons including this one. Now if I see someone who asks for an invite and I know is trustworthy I will usually just give it.

honestly guys calm down, why does it matter if a few people pm you? i get it every now and then and when i can i help people out.

it seems youve forgotton that once upon a time you lot were noobs too... i try and remember this, youd do well do to the same

I can understand ur situation... but even I may be cause of annoynace to u and other guys... I sometimes send unsolicted PM to other seemingly-kind members active in Bit-torrent invite section showing them my ratio SS, stating my inability to get invites by trade ( as wht I have to offer already by them) and requesting for (if there is any remote possibility) an invite which is not useful for them as far as trading is concerned etc...I also apologize in advance for any inconvinience caused to them..

Dunno but I have been lucky.. Out of 5-7 times in PMed.. only one never replied.. One gave a little harsh reply.. using f*ck etc ( but i can understand) and I apologized for same..later he too calmed out and offered me invite for Demo ( the useless site which i already had..) Others politely refused and some helped me or recommended to other sites with open signups..

(BTW I don't keep on PMing again and again... I PMonly once.... )

So after this experience.. I still think that PMing.. one or 2 helpful members in a month.. is not that wrong.... Plz correct me if I am wrong...


Through this post I apologize to all those whom I PMed and caused inconvinience......

Hey Gamer can I get an invite??? I'l PM you to ask

Hey there Madded Player why don't you back off. If you don't like his thread DON"T READ IT. 5hit certainly don't reply to it. With your whopping 55 posts Im surprised you aren't a member of staff here. Seriously Gamer has OVER 1200 here. I know him very well he is usually a calm cool guy, so what if he wants to vent a bit. I get pi55ed @ the same thing sometimes. It IS a pain when you are waiting for 1 or 2 PM's from people and you have to sort out over 30. He is very generous with his invites and people like to take advantage of that. Also if you post in your sig no Pm's please that will not work very well as most people don't care. It is a consequence of being good natured, but I can understand his frustration. Why flame him on his thread? Have you nothing better to do?

u think post counts matter round here ...

perhaps i have a whooping 55 posts cuz i have a life away from a PC ??

anyways, if u offer invites in an open public forum, expect to get PMs' - nuff fuckin said. annoying as unsolicited PM's maybe, why fucking cry about it. ?

[gamer4eva]

But what don't you understand about if i do not offer them then i do not want PM's regarding something i did not even offer. Yes if i had offered them it is perfectly acceptable. Nuff said mate....i do not like to make enemies. I generally am on the good sides of everyone and vice versa. Also i am not crying its just informing.

Just a thought, but perhaps he replied b/c this is a discussion forum.

If gamer4eva is going to start a thread about PM's, he damn well better be prepared to hear both sides of the issue, as should you when reading it.

Out of 5-7 times in PMed.. only one never replied

Yes, I agree that g4e should expect discussion.
madden player, however, chose to be aggressive in his response.
This isn't discussion at all:

is this worth starting a thread over. ?

fuck, i feel retarded just replying to it

add something to ur sig ffs

e.g. I am currently offering no invites, plz no PMs

why spam the board with bs topics, and call ppl noobs - honestly, ur the n00b

FWIW I've had reports from people who don't even post to the BT sections about n00bs PMing them for invites.
I completely agree that you shouldn't have to put up with these requests and it's against board rules to use PMs in this way in any case.

If you receive unsolicited PMs asking for invites then please report it and we'll deal with it.
