actually i disagree.
when i plan to invite someone to a tracker i want to know as much as possible about him and i will defintely read what he has to say.
the more information i get about him, the easier my decision. i also would like to know, if he has the abilty to introduce himself and express his thoughts in a proper way.
so i don't mind if he writes 1.000 words because it gives me a better chance to find out about his character and analyze the person better.
you will be suprised how much you can find about a person just by reading his posts on this forum.
if you are too lazy to read a well written long requests it's probably too exhausting for you to check someone's post history as well.
i don't read much in the invite section lately, but i can tell exactly what is a promising request and what is not.
in fact i would compare it with a job application where you attach a kind of cv of your torrent life.
there are shitty jobs and there are great jobs.
you don't get the great ones with: "can i have it pllzzzzzzz"
this is a forum, not an irc.
you don't have many chances to requests sites like ftn or fsc (if you have any at all).
make up your mind, prepare your post and write as much as you can about yourself in an interesting and intelligent way.
some are waiting for month to get into those sites, but they don't want to spend half an hour to use some online dictionaries (if not native english) and prepare a well formulated request, that attracts positive attention.
looking back to the past few month i've been a member here, the long requests were the successful requests.
has anyone of you prepared a requests and sent it to a senior member asking for feedback before posting it?
could be worth a try.
find help, ask for advice and get feedback.
this is a community and not a warzone for lone warriors.
even though the invite section sometimes reminds me of a playground for difficult children.
p.s. thanks for reading a quite long post, fusionz. next time i just put a "-1" under yours
