Account trades

[cinephilia]

i remember there were accounts that couldn't be traded in FST but it seems they were all removed from the section guidelines.

what happened ? is it still applicable or did the rules changed ?

[Skiz]

The rules changed. We no longer regulate those accounts.

I can imagined that it can hard to monitor just trading of some accounts, while allowing trading of others.

I'd still feel better if there was no trading here, but I guess it's easier for the staff this way.

It really wasn't tough at all before. After a couple of months passed and word traveled, the trades for those trackers had twindled to very few. Of those, most were removed after the section regulars informed the thread starter it was not allowed. Those that remained were quickly trashed by mods.

Originally, we had deals with those sites that in turn for the moderation of account trades, they would invite members from FST onto their sites. That happened very little (except for stoi) but we kept up the deal just as a good gesture. There was very little in the way of complaints from members and the tracker staffers seemed satisfied.

When we implemented that list, there was also much more trading going on on the forum. The sections are still active as ever but many members are now on the "anti-trader" fad. FST mods no longer felt it was an issue and it was dropped. I contacted all the tracker staff members that I could get a hold of and none took an issue with it. I did not get a hold of FTN but we haven't seen Brandon post in a long time so...

Hope that clears things up a bit.

It does, thanks for the reply.

[cinephilia]

as far as i know, PTN staff has invited plenty of FST members.

[KFlint]

Might be true, I don't know.

But PTN wasn't included in the list of forbidden account trading and i don't think it ever was on this list.

[cinephilia]

ok, thanks KF.

I didnt know much about this thanks for clear explain and another interesting point is, there is no shitty coversations and post at this topic(maybe BT freaks never looks other than BT section )...I am pretty sure if this topic created on BT section would have more than 100 and useless post

[cinephilia]

yeah, that's precisely why i created the topic in this section
