welcome back, squirrel.Originally Posted by squirr3l
rather than hearing about what is allowed and not (i know that) i would like to hear your opinion.
i sometimes receive the impression, that you rather fall between two stools than form a view on something.
you always want to please everybody. you rarely tell us how you see things. it's nice to be liked by everyone and don't tread on someone's toes.
on the other hand it makes you look characterless.
with all due respect, i wish you would rather make your point than general statments.
Persona non grata
What goes on in this section is essentially a competition so it shouldn't be surprising that some are willing to bend or even break the rules to gain an advantage.
As much as I find certain practices personally distasteful,it is in the end up to the referees(Mods) what they choose to allow.

No. Selling stuff on ebay has one bad sideeffect that trading on fst doesn't. Publicity. Which leads to site shutdowns. The final result of selling invites on ebay should be known to everyone.
On another notion,how are invites free? You can buy status ie. invites on bmtv,sct,revtt,tl........we're talking about real money here. On other sites,you 'buy' status through time and bandwith. So,invite is a thing of value. And it's boards like these that determine the exact value of it on the 'market'.
Don't get me wrong,i do not trade. Tried once in the beginning,when i joined fst,unsuccesfully.
Don't like it,i have enough spare time and started to enjoy filesharing enough to spend time on boards and irc channels to meet some good ppl,who invited me to all the sites i wanted. Just think that rule 'no invite trading' is somewhat stupid and fake.
Once you start segregate users using only a thing like amount uploaded,like all private trackers do,invite trading is bound to happen. And bandwith and time spent to upload needed amount are not free,are they?

thanks
dunno about what impression i give but i always try to see emic's view and then only have an etic POV. In other words, i try to put myself in a situation that i am evaluating...and maybe that's the reason for the impression i make.
Not necessarily, i have a feeling that you won't be pleased by my response. Beside, i am not here to fight and/or argue...unless someone is stealing my nuts.
"squirr3l" itself is a character, i think we can agree on that
1. if i were to have a seedbox, i would rather share it for free than trade. But that doesn't mean everyone should do the way i do (or would do) it.
2. If this thread was a poll and the result would determine FST rule. Then, i would have said "no seedbox trading" but the scenario is irrelevant.

Barter is Barter! It's all the same... trade for cash, trade an invite for invite , trade invite for seedbox - all the samething
You are who you are.

Sometimes I think this is a paradox, because many trackers sell upload credits and thus users can a buffer their acc...which is enough to become power users and get invites! I think the only difference is the recipient of the money.
