Ratio Proofs from different sites

[invite420]

I ask for stat url links to profile page @ anti-cheat sites
plus seeded torrent review

scares off most, few pass

I would ask through pm for direct links to your tracker profile's, because you haven't formed an identity on FST yet and I have nothing else to judge you by. Then I would make sure you have the same username's on most of the sites, or else I might assume that you've gotten your accounts via giveaway/trade. I wouldn't want the risk of an active trader in my invite tree.

Well if I was looking to invite someone I'd ask for proofs from trackers where it's hard/impossible to cheat on.

i would say don't invite them period, unless you know them... but, given the nature of this site and post.. i would have to say yours is the most reasonable fashion.. although unless you know the person it's never a 100%.. well, now that i think about it.. it's not 100% even if ya did know them... lol

^^ Yeah, I've stopped inviting people I don't know to trackers for the most part, after being disappointed too many times. That was a suggestion of in my opinion the best way of judging someone you don't know very well. On occasion I'll use that method if someone I don't know comes off as honest.

It's not even just for this site. Most if not all private invite sites have tons of shite members who are putting up a false front. Users get caught up in their sense of exclusiveness and stop taking precautions, and that's how all the bittards in FTN, SCT, and the like get there

doesnt being overtly careful spoil the very spirit of sharing that torrenting inculcates. I mean its like not wanting to go out since you might get hit.

i always ask for a few screenshots from similar sites with date and time in the shot. as well as utorrent stats screen. ill also download the images and zoom in on them...makes it easier to tell if they have been edited. plus i check post history here as well.

Every rare private tracker that i've ever got invited to has been through a friend who knew for a fact that I would be a good addition to the community. So it seems the best bet is to just meet people and eventually hook each other up

Said it perfectly

Same here

Once you've been banned a few times for inviting cheaters and traders by accident you'll change your views. I'm not saying its bad to invite people you don't know, I'm saying I've stopped doing it through experience. The rewards of helping out strangers does not outweigh the cost of a potential ban. There are always exceptions but this is how I see it right now.

[elya9]

you are right i guess
all i may suggest is be prudent but keep an open mind

Eventually if everyone stops trusting the community is dead
btw i am sure being cheated does sting so good luck fr the future m8
