why is that!

[sear]

too many well written arguments....eh can't get it out.

Here goes, to some extent I agree with SpiderPig my personal view is to keep myself to myself. Hence you won't see me messing with peoples trades, except for one person that just pisses me off to no end and that was only once anyway. You also won't see me preaching all the time unless trading happens to be the topic at hand. i do enough with my sig

I think there are two factors at play here one is that some people have started to take notice that by proclaiming yourself an anti trader you can access the sites your after. But what they don't realise is being an anti trader isn't enough it's about being yourself, making friends or even having people respect you enough that they feel they can trust you with their invites (in fact just this minute I lost my oink invites because of some prick you know who you are and I have a long memory!!!!)

Second, is that many people are unhappy seeing the trading frenzy and what to change things for the better nothing wrong with that.

And as for the giveaways I think it goes back to the point of trust. If someone you know was once/is a trader but you know you can give them an invite no worries than you will but in a giveaway it just adds another layer of protection. Not to say that it's full proof but you've got to have something when you take that leap especially when there are so many scammers out there.

My reasoning is simple, it's my invite so it's my rules. On another note, I like rewarding those who had the patience and fortitude to stay away from trading. Good things do come to those who wait and today was a prime example (open signup that happened today). Everyone chooses their own path, I am not hating traders, I just don't agree with it. It's also disrespectful to the trackers that you are a part of when you wheel and deal. When you signed up at those places you agreed to follow their rules. It's a privilege to be there, not a right.

Well that is my 2cents.

Edit: I also look kindly to those who quit trading but you can't expect to quit one day and join up with non-traders the next day. You do need to re-establish/build that trust all over again.

Marksman, I understand.. Each member does his or her own thing their own way. To each his own, i respect that n dont think of traders as a disease. I just dont do it.Im sure other members(i know) have better n more sites than i thru trading. I dont have the higher sites, do not have really any..

Have to say.make a "good Argument"......my 2 pennies

The bottom line is this: In order to maintain security of a private tracker only invite people you know personally (in real life). Anything else is hypocritical. A RIAA/MPAA agent can be a really cool guy with nice ratios too.

[sense]

what i find ironic in this anti-trader give away thing is that this action is forbidden just like invite trading by most trackers.

i'm pretty sure you claim to be anti-trader because of the safety of the trackers but then you are giving away invites in a public forum which is a huge leak, gotta be honest on that!

an anti-trader doing giveaway on FST is doing as much harm to torrent community as traders

That is correct, it is still breaking the rules which is why I won't be doing many public giveaways. But good people do deserve a chance and not many people have real life friends who are into torrenting.

To each his own.......

good people do deserve a chance and not many people have real life friends who are into torrenting

And this is why most of us trade

I think the "non trading" stuff is a good thing as long as you know the person you invite otherwise you still breaking tracker golden rule and therefore it's a non sense.
I've noticed lately that people tend to do this for their own benefit more than the for the spirit of sharing, i found this lame tbh..

So if you want to give something to a "good person", why do you need something in return? Weren't invites meant to be given out freely? Why does one always need a return?

I actually have quite a number of invites but not enough friends to dish them out to. Therein lies the problem. If I go to one of my RL friends and ask, "would you like a bitmetv invite"? He would just turn to me with a dumbfounded look on his face because he would have no idea what I was talking about.
