View Full Version : Make FST invite only?

Just though of this...
*EDIT
I should clarify this,
I would only propose to privatize the BT section and all the goodies that go along with it. By goodies, of course, I mean the BT Invites...
My reasoning would be to achieve a successful environment were every member has 100 percent trust in their own community. I realize FST's community already ahs minimal scammers, etc. But i'm not satisfied until this place is full of Gandhi incarnates
But hey, you guys are the smartest, so join the flock and flame me, Or you can give constructive feedback for your beliefs for/against this proposal.

It's a nice idea, but it's not really practical...
FST is not just for invites, it's also a thread where people can just chat and get help.
And I think the reason it's so easy to get invites here and the reason a lot of people are even here in the first place is because anyone can join.
There are plenty of invite-only invite sites, why make FST one of them? :idunno:
Obviously there are problems here, but I don't think going invite only is the solution.

You could possibly just make the invite section alone invite only,
but tons of people would just post in the regular bittorrent section with their requests.
I realize it already happens now, but I think it would be significantly worse.

Leave it open to everyone how would this be such a good comunity if nobody could join there are other places which are invite only which are no where near as strong people would get pissed off and find an alternative not everybody is a Wan**r

Where are all these people who said yes? It is absurd to make it invite only. This site is WAY bigger than our little corner. This is a place to help others and learn from each other, not some snooty stuck up place where you have to be 1337 to get in. I think the whole idea is just ridiculous

Who voted yes? That's like closing the borders to the US due to a few morons with bombs. Don't let a few bad apples ruin it for the rest. And just like the United States, FST is an oasis of opportunity in the this drab and dreary world. Everyone should have access to it - no exceptions.

Voted "No" ,
FST should be easily accessible to help people and expand their knowledge about BitTorrent etc. ~
by making it closed and hard to get you will disrupt "File Sharing" awareness .
Polarbear
11-23-2007, 02:44 AM
people vote for yes because of their "i'm in - fuck the rest" attitude they love so much.
they would even make their local supermarket invite only if it grew their e-penis.

i wouldnt mind if it was invite only :P it would be alot more exclusive :P
Some people seem to think that FST is driven by the Bittorrent section. The Bittorrent section is only one section of many. FST was successful long before the Invites section was established and to be honest, I feel it would be much better if all the members who are here solely to trade invites, fucked right off.
For the most part FST has a wealth of information posted and scads of knowledgeable members who are ready to help at a moments notice. But too many threads have completely asinine responses or comments from a member who is talking out of his/her ass. That brings the overall usefulness of the forum down.
Nine times out of ten, that members profile will reveal that the majority of their posts are contained within the Bittorrent related sections.
Coincidence? You decide.

FST is not only about Bittorrent.
Its a open forum were you can discuss everything, Its my main source of information regarding torrents and other warez. You could ofc make the invite selection invite only. But making everything invite only would only make info travel slower since not everyone had access to this site.

Agreed.
File sharing in general is about being open and sharing; not limiting or restricting what's out there. :)

Because of the selfish attitude of humans. If they think it is going to become a closed shop, then they will have the opinion of "I'm in, I will have have access to the goodies and others won't, so why should I share them goodies"
Thankfully, it will never happen.

no need for making it invite only
well if it happens I think zaa730 will be the first to get the boot ;)
why would you even consider making it invite only? The whole attraction of FST is that it's open and people come here to post about their problems and play out their dramas :P well actually that's not quite true but the scene needs a place like this where people can come and ask for help or just have a chat. Get a grip if you want an invite only forum there's plenty already out there FST is fine the way it is...well the traders could fuck off but tbh even they have something to contribute when they venture outside the invites section...if they can speak english that is.

I do not like the idea that there is some kind of eliteness about the torrent community, or closing this place to the public because of it - as reflected my above post. I was all about this place before BT was even a thought. And I don't consider it to be about BT now.
I don't care for this section all that much,
but ever once in awhile I find a gem of a post like this a stray here. Considering the mind set here, I'd probably be better off just laugh an the BS and moving on instead of waisting a post. I am not gonna change the way anyone thinks.

Dude you know what I agree with you to an extent. There IS an eliteness about BT, I hate it as well, but complaining about it does nothing. We need to do something about it. Try and Change peoples mind about it. Posting innocuous things like " Only such an idea could be spawned in the BT section.
What else can I say... lol." does absolutly nothing to change the situation it only makes you look bitter or jaded even. I have gone over a bunch of your posts and I can see that you are a decent guy and very smart. Why not put some more quality in your point of views and try and help people "Guide the no0bs so to speak" Help them see there is a better way.

Stupid idea. FST is about FilesharingTALK. We talk here about everything, and making it invite only would make it extremely worthless trying to get in here, as you could just open another massive public forum elsewhere.
atleast it would make more sense to make the bt invites section here invite only, but not the whole forum

You know what, I'm still going to stick to my beliefs even though you all classify them as "retarded" or whatever clever feedback you can give. Heres my backing for voting yes.
There have been some crazy mishaps in our recent past. These include all the postings of ratio cheats and bor74 general nonsense. FST already does a great job with minimizing scammers, but im not satisfied until there are zero scammers and we can trust a new member with 5 posts as much as some 2 year vet with 100bt rep.

Everyone should have a chance to learn about what's out there in terms of filesharing, i know since joining i learned a lot thanks to FST.

11-23-2007, 06:31 PM
I don't think that turning anything into invite only will improve the forum. If it's to avoid requesting of invites for various torrent sites I'd rather consider just making subsections of the forum invite only! I don't see how number of posts nor how long you've been on the site makes anyone more reliable.. depending on when you joined in July you haven't been around for that long either! :)
I don't think you can avoid people with bad intentions completely no matter how hard you try, and why would you? Do you post things you don't want them to know, or do you feel that the people post spam in the forum?

And that just shows you've only been here for a very short time.. You have no idea how many bullshit incidents we've had on FST over the years, and we've managed fine dealing with it. We do not need any "invite only" section on the site, it's pointless, and would not serve any interests apart from those wanting to feel l33t for being in the closed FST community.

Making the forum accessable by invite only has nothing to do with trustworthy users. Ask your private tracker staff member of choice for confirmation.
Other than it being a fuckschmuck idea to begin with, users in that section have already shown us first hand that they cannot be trusted with private accounts - they're trading, ffs. :dabs:
No. . . FST one of the only GOOD trading forums, where would you trade for invites? But removing trading might be for the better, making friends and friends of friends they way to trade
