invites removed. available only to ftn power members (200+ gb uploaded) and ONLY if they are given after you ask. kinda like fsc...

Indeed - it might move to level 5 depending on their strictness on fulfilling the requests.

Just saw announcement now.:lol:

I have to admit even if invites were not removed it would still be difficult to invite anyone anyway because the userbase is pretty much always 5000.:lol:

Edit: Maybe people will start appreciating their accounts more now :lol:

I just read it aswell. They said the invite system was being abused, and that's why lower members would no longer be allowed the privilege.

It's kinda sad, because it's such a great site, but if this helps to protect it than I guess it's a good thing overall.

*hugs FTN account* :happy:

woah..I JUST got an invite from someone the other day. I had to refresh the page about 10times before a slot opened up.

You made really good point. Members should appreciate their accounts on every sites they are members of, otherwise on day all trackers will do the strict. :yup:

All this "appreciate your account" business is a little rich coming from the biggest invite traders on the board.

Can't believe only 2 or so months I was giving away FTN invites. Personally, I don't like the site too much to be honest. I am not saying it is bad or anything, please do not say I am flaming or putting it down. Just my opinion:) A kind member invited me back for free after my accounts got disabled from a SNITCH:angry: All is good though:D Thank you to the one who spared me an extra invite after I was banned:)

celtic, what tracker stuff are you from ?

Also, don't like this new rule, cuz I had plenty of invites :) just never used them cuz of security reasons, not to invite bad person.

I am really getting upset now..

Cuz a stupid guy in other forums said to the F** admins and my account has been diasbled.

I wish I had my F** account with an other username.. The name in forum and f** were same..

Now it is getting more and more difficult to get there...

Hope to get back to f**

and for those who have lost there invites not automaticly but for some reason , can they apply an invite?

gamer4eva
01-07-2007, 12:33 PM
Depends on what the reason is...

tonydog518
01-07-2007, 12:45 PM
of course, they always have a reason to prune ur invites
but there judgement is not always right
you can see the user list
nearly one third of them are warned or disabled

I will say it is "a little" too strict

gamer4eva
01-07-2007, 12:59 PM
Yeah they feel the need to be strict but you can't blame them. They want to protect site and keep it safe but you are right they are strict and yes a lot have been warned and disabled.

Buggyme
01-07-2007, 01:00 PM
I don't think they prune your invites unless you invited a cheater, or you trade your invites. I think that's reasonable, and not 'strict' at all.

still better than be banned... but as you said Buggyme, that's preety reasonable.

tonydog518
01-07-2007, 01:05 PM
how about when they got a wrong decision when they tried to figure out if your invitee is a cheater or your invitee is invited by trading....

gustafo
01-07-2007, 01:06 PM
yeah, you're right, but still, they don't give a s**t if you're a cheater, trader or nothing. they can do, whatever they want :) ;)

Almost got disabled at ScT because they thought I got my account from these boards.

Thanks to their helpful staff, I am fine though.

FTN sucks though, their staff seem unhelpful. Plus, site is slow for me.

Buggyme
01-07-2007, 01:20 PM
How did the ScT admins think that?

Karawasa
01-07-2007, 01:22 PM
I made a thread on these boards awhile back asking for ScT. They apparently assumed that I got my request taken care of here.

I just talked to illogic, and he straightened things out. Great mod.

tonydog518
01-07-2007, 01:22 PM
if the staff try to contact with you when they are doubtful or confused, that is to some degree a luck ..lol

Karawasa
01-07-2007, 01:23 PM
Nah I contacted them. I had to get a friends IRC ## just to talk to illogic lol.

Not sure what you are trying to convey there.
