What I have understood out of my recent "antitrade giveaway":
1) It's pretty hard to know if a member here will trade your free invite.
I tried very hard in my giveaway to find people against trading that deserved 1invite to a quality tracker. Despite of my hard efforts and the clean background of the participants, 1 of them forwarded my free invite for trade, something that wouldn't have done even a hardcore trader!
Unfortunately, a lot of people who may be clean here, may trade in other forums, or may have multiple FST accounts with clean background.
2) Some people may have had a previous account on a tracker and want a second one in order to trade it.
3) Some people may have been previously banned and want a new free invite. The problem is that a lot of people don't know what IP means, and that they are banned again when they use the same IP or registered email.
4) Some people live in countries that are banned from certain trackers. In order to find a solution to that, they use proxies and that ==> ban.
5) Some people believe that they can cheat on a tracker and nobody will find out about that and that ==> ban
As a result of all these, the invite privileges of the inviter are revoked and he is discouraged to offer the invites he could.
If we were talking about a private forum, like the antitraders' section, the invitee would know very wel that if he did something bad, he would have been kicked out the next moment and wouldn't have returned back ever again.
Unfortunately though, at an open forum like this one, even if someone is banned, he can easily create a second FST account and gain access to the invite section in a month.
In my opinion the best way to find a valuable invitee is either a real life friend, or an e-friend that has been proven to be trustworthy at another less valuable invite of yours.
