Donating for invites,for a tracker as Sct,its not rong,think about it.
If you add a tracker popular like this,how do you going to get money to pay the tracker?
Donations?I dont think soo,uploads?Seedbox do the trick,so they think,so why not paying for invites...

i dont get it ?
donating money to a great place and cummuinty is that bad ?
how would it survive other whise ?
donation is NOT a bad word
get use it people...

that's when you donate under free well not force you to donate to get invites
i think this is crazy asking people to pay for invites
the whole p2p community is based on nonprofit and sharing if you are a power user who upload 100 of gbs how come you can't be rewarded by invited your friends and the people you trust.
when a tracker gives out invites to his users : this means he trusted them and look at them as its representatives.
but when gives them out as a way to profit and get money
it's like destroying the basis that it has been founded on.

I would tend to agree with ya SAM, 100%!!!! Besides the fact that it may seem harmless now..... seems like this is catching on.... i read that RevTT is doing something to this effect also... BUT, think about it... is it so well n good?? what if more trackers took this route would be willing to donate to them as well.... JUST to get an invite??? and if more follow suit after that??? how would ya afford to get invites??.. lol

might as well say ya cant join unless you pay! and that aint happening!! not me anyways.... MY MOTTO IS IN MY SIG...

[vizouk]

my opinion is the same invites no for donate upload for donate given ya its ok but invites must be for the upload and time register in my opinion

invites are not given out on ScT at all not even for amount uploading.

i wouldn't say at all....... but, it's only if the staff is feeling generous...... and thats not often....


i'm wondering what plans they gots for the 2 year mark??

[SAM]

let's say this system is in use at all trackers now in order to get in, you have to get an invite from a user who will pay 20 $ to get this invite for you
do you think who will give it for free?! and if he asked you for money will he ask you for the same amount he'll pay for it?!!!
of course there are good people but many people will try to profit.
in the end, the nonprofit and free trackers will be opened only for the ones who has money

It should be like this:

If you wont donate at all, you wont get any invites ever.
And if you will donate once you will get invites once per x.time\x.GB uploaded.
If you donate twice you will get 2 invites per x.time\x.GB uploaded
And so on..

What do you think about this idea?

I have split views on this subject tbh as it affects people in different ways:

For people who have money to spare

Its not such a bad thing. In england a DVD costs around £13 (-/+) which pretty much covers the cost of one invite there.

So to be fair, The pricing isnt bad and if you would use it for alot of stuff, Its worth it a hundred times over.

Personally, I would pay the fee just for the content and speeds which i could get the stuff i wanted.

For other people

I say other people and not state it as only "People who dont have money to spare" because thats not really the case. Not all downloaders are over working age, Therefore they dont have an income to pay for invites with. Then there are the people who cannot afford to pay for things like invites.

For them people it sucks because unless someone from the first section feels like being generous, They have pretty much next to no chance to ever become a part of a the tracker, Which from there viewpoint, Would blow more than a wh0re with a $2,000 a day crack addiction.

I suppose from the trackers point of view, Its great, They are actually making money from a system that was created to be free, But they do have to pay for server costs etc etc etc. On that note, They have to actually be making money by doing this, Not simply server costs etc.

Final thoughts:

Spoiler: Show

Who wants to sell an invite?

the only way i see invites being given out on ScT is if the user limit is expanded, to this day the user limit is constantly full or 1 slot close to full therefore no need for invites to be given out.
