    The sites run by "get quick fast" people are fairly easy to spot. Note the massive PM's and news items begging for donations. Otherwise site owners should not be paid if they are smart.

    question is, do trackers having pay2leech policy , t-shirt selling etc... use the extra money to pay themselves already or not...

    if they say they don't, we still be really sure of that...but if they do, i wouldn't want to be in their shoes the day the police take down their site

    It's all hidden, which stinks.

    Anybody running anything where money is involved have to show ins/outs balance books at the end of a financial year, torrent sites don't, so we /never/ truly know where anything goes.

    Until we get full transparency, there will always be a bad smell of something isn't quite right.

    In most cases tracker staff do deserve to get paid, but they are volunteers after all so they shouldn't expect it. If the trackers do get silly amount of donations (FTN) then yeah, hand some out to the staff!
