I would suggest besides positive green trading reputation points to have also negative red reputation points either because someone cheated us, or because he kept our invite inactive.
I thing that the most important thing in someone's public profile would be his bad actions and not only the good ones.
The bad actions is what would prevent me from trading wih someone or not giving him an invite.
Someone with 2 good reputation points doesn't mean he hasn't got other 10 bad ones...
I remember a giveaway where someone asked me to give him a reput. point in advance in order to choose me in his giveaway. I accepted it only to realised that he made that thread to collect reputation points and not give an invite to anyone!...
Negative points with a good explanations and proofs I think would be a good idea.

You are scaring me, would my account get banned for inactive if I dont download 20mb and just upload?

The WIAW thread is good, but it doesn't let you know everything. For example, I thought that piSexy, SCC, and RevTT would be good alternatives to TL. However, after joining them I realized that I only like RevTT since I don't like either the interface on piSexy or the lack of files/slowness on SCC. So, until you get past the level 2.5-3 sites, I don't think description alone is enough. One needs to see things.
As for giving someone your account, that seems like a good idea and I've thought of it. However, if the person you give your account away to winds up cheating or causing problems, often people will look on other sites for accounts with the same name. Then I'd wind up having accounts I use possibly banned because the person I was generous enough to give my unused account to screwed up. So it's not worth the risk.

Ive invited many an inactive member to 5 of the above sites and noones had a problem with it. I took a quick look at the rules and faqs of three of the sites and found absolutely no mention of it. I could carry on looking over the other sites but its clear that your talking complete bollocks.bitme
bitmetv

Simply put sites dont care how many inactive members you invite since they can always prune them. What they do care about is cheating members. You should check your facts before posting, you need to bear in mind that your purple stars will make people more likely to heed your advice even when its incorrect.

Like Ratzy Rox said, sites don't penalize you if you invite inactive members. However, sites do penalize you for inviting members who cheat or leech infinitely without even an attempt at seeding back.
If this thread is turned into a thread for alerting others of cheaters or leeches, then it'll be more feasible. I find inactivity disablement a bit of an iffy area. Because someone is inactive in one site doesn't mean that he/she's inactive in others. It matters more on content than on being a good BT user. It's partially up to the invitee to make sure that he/she learns about and will want to use a tracker before asking for it. It's also up to the inviter to make sure that the invitee has a true interest in the tracker before inviting him/her.
I find that long posts are a hell of a lot more substantial than short posts, in general.why do u guys write such long posts forcing me to read them!

I think the core idea of this thread is a good step. The idea of having a list of peeps that have been banned on your invite for one reason or another so that someone else doesn't invite them again and also lose their invites. However, the list may get rather long...
The main offenders that I would put on such a list are the ratio cheaters/leechers/abusers etc that actively get themselves banned and thus strip you of your invite rights. *Damn that user that took my piglets!*
/edit: More thoughts... Inactive users bug me but it doesn't hurt. It bugs me that I could have used that invite on someone more deserving and would actually want to use the tracker. And as mentioned above, how hard is it to download and upload one file?

If this happens to you and you can give conclusive proof of what happened (screenshots), we will ban the user.

Skizo even if you ban someone he will login the other day with a different ID.
And how can I prove that MrX in FST has taken my invite to bitmeTV, logged there as MrY, cheated and thus all my invites to my MrF account in bitmeTV were taken away ?
I think that a FST negative point system would be a good idea.
A cheater who has got 10negative points by 10FST members could never be an angel...
And his public profile is available to anyone at any time. You don't have to search specific threads with cheaters.
Even a cheater could make a giveaway and get 5positive points. That doesn't make him the ideal person to be given my precious invite though...
