My Request - big surprise - FTN

[fazzy07]

@dashboardy.. Just put yourself in the inviters shoes.
Would you invite someone with 8 posts, 2 in this thread itself, with no reps
You have to be active and build trust and share with the community
I did something like this when I was new here and I got kicked from all directions
Just work your way and be active and you will hopefully get what you want

ya I know, they're annoying, but hey this is the bittorrents invite section

by the way, just curious what the requirements are for the users on FTN to get invites... I have heard that only site staff have invites - is this true?

They are only annoying when you get them posted by posters without a good history to check back on, I mean what stranger is going to take a chance on using their invite on you, what makes you stand out from the crowd, what have you done for other members here over those who have been here 6 months or a year and are still looking for FTN?

Users have to have been at FTN for over 8 weeks and reached Power Status by time & GB upped before they can even ask for an invite, and then after that providing they are active they might, just might, get to ask for more only once per week.

Which is why I suggest members here have to have been here (in the invites section) for 8 or more weeks before they should be allowed to ask for FTN, it's the same rules only applied here, which is fair I think, and have 2 stars under their name, which proves a level of being involved and what you are involved in.

Very good idea man.

bwaduk - go to the website, and then add "signup.php" to the end. I thought I'd fool'd the system, but if you try to signup, it goes to takesignup.php which is page cannot be displayed

ive been a proud member of FTN now for over a year....... so i would think i know how the invite system and signup page works wouldnt you ?

This does NOT apply to Adam1990, he got his pretty "quick", as far as I remembered ....maybe some "favoritism' involved who knows?? .Now he is a "big shot", after securing a F*N, voicing his 2 cents, plus his Userbar to "Brag" about............LOL

There's no accounting for what sysops do, but when they go awol it leaves a void to be filled, that's where users with invites can come in, and having a template to follow can only be a good thing.

I wish there is a "Fair & Square" methodology in awarding High Lvlel Invites to "Deserving & HonesT'" members, who have been waiting in the wings for awhile.Not to mention they have been contributing to the FST community for awhile and OVERLOOK !!!!!

very true. as I said, I don't expect an invite. And you're right, I'm about as noobish as you can get on these forums - 8 posts, no major discussions to speak of. I've pretty much watched from the background, and if I had never seen anyone get an invite to a site on here, I wouldn't even bother.

but there have been people who have been invited to F*N on these forums, so I figured I would take a shot. It would be more than worth it if someone gave one to me. However, if those are the requirements, someone would have to have very good reason to give me an invite, and nobody here does.

I'm actually quite happy with the sites I am on. You can see the main ones I use in my userbar sig. From what I can see most sites distribute most of the same things.

things that help when requesting a high level invite:

- introduce yourself. people want to know who they invite.
- don't tell people what you know about the site. they are members there and know that it's a great tracker.
- tell them why to invite exactly you. what makes you different from others

most important rule:

talk about youself and you bore me. talk about me and you fascinate me.
show the inviter the benefit he gets by inviting you

nobody needs to invite you. persuade people by talking about their benefits.

basically before writing a request be able to answer this questions:

-who am i?
-why should the inviter invite me?
-what's the benefit for the inviter.

quite simple.

[embolism]

I support all the request posts. This is indeed a invites section only. I also hope nobody ridicules the request posts. Just because some of us have high level trackers doesnt give us any right to put down a request....after all its just a request.
If there is a generous person, then that request will be granted.
No brick bats for requests...unless they request is totally off the wall

But one advice: you need to do something amazing to get an invite (either stupid or smart)
Without all these invite requests..it will get boring here!
