How are the chances to get an invite in a request?

[eram]

What do you think ?
Was just wondering how the chances are up from lets say level 4 to get an invite in a request.
Is it worth making one?

[Crutavv]

39% ;) /if you are good.../

[integral]

If you worry about "levels" too much you'll just be like everyone else, and the point of a request thread is to separate yourself from everyone else.

But let's face it, doing the same mundane request threads over and over probably won't get you anywhere. I could go to the request section right now and find about 6-7 requests for the same tracker, that look virtually identical. Will any of them get the request they're asking for? Probably not. (Friends they've made noticing them and inviting them notwithstanding)

I think the right way to make a request for a site is to be unique and creative. That doesn't mean playing on someone's sympathy, or trying to be overtly humorous; just be truthful, if you really want it. Show why you deserve the site over someone else, be willing to provide profile links (not ratio proofs/screenshots, whenever I see those it just turns me off completely).

And of course, be active around here, help others, and make friends on other trackers. Being part of the torrent community as a whole will get you far. :)

Hope this helps.

good user here
proof from good sites
and not a trader

and you should be able to get it

[eram]

Just from my point of view:
I recived 2 invites from users on fst since I joined and neither of them because of a request . Thanks guys , you know who you are :)
I mean I don´t care about levels at all but pretty many guys who have invites on high level trackers do. The thing is I actually have all trackers I would like to join exept maybe 2.And I think I won´t get them in a request.

[nemrac]

I've made one high level request and it was filled in a day. There are some really nice people here.

I don't want to beat an old drum, but if you are active and help others, others will help you.

Nemrac

[The Flying Cow]

Yeah people will help you. The only trackers where making a request is probably pointless are the unnamed ones - the "white rabbit" that Neo follows in the first Matrix, the Fight Club holding tracker, that specialised music tracker with LOSSLESS, the taste the rainbow place, and so on.

Any more down-to-earth sites you should gain access to with a well-thought-out request. And some friends work well to make your chances higher.

[Nemrod]

There is no rule about that.
Everything has to do with you and the way you are.
You make a request, no matters level, people who may help you -and if you look nice to them at a first glance- will search your history, if you fit with their personal preferences and tastes your chances are good.
It could happen than a known trader, a spammer or whoever makes a request and it will be fulfilled by somebody with similar views and thoughts about BT.
The thing is that if you are not active nobody knows how you are, no matters the path you chose, and then it will be really hard to get invited.

[puckface]

I calculated it at 18.6974%

[puckface]

double lag

[aysomc]

100% if you know the right people. about 10% if you dont.

[bladesharp]

1.depends on the tracker u request
2.depends on u r history ;)
3.depends on u usuage/speed statistics

So ... 50% :)

[Eargasm]

The chances? Well, I've got excellent referrals, decent speedtests, proofs that I'm prone to have a 9:1 ratio at most sites(3:1 when freeleech/bonus not involved) - and I've gotten into 4 out of 7 of the sites that I asked for here.

The ones I didn't get are extremely hard to get into because invites rarely open or are just a pain in the ass to get.

[KFlint]

100% if you know the right people. about 10% if you dont.

well if you know the right people, you won't have to make a request here

otherwise success will range from 100% to 0% depending on the tracker you are looking at

[guitarhero]

True! It mostly depends what tracker you are requesting and how much activity you have. I would say 50% you get what you want, even if you`re new here.

[ghurka]

I mean I don´t care about levels at all....I would say keep it that way and you are more likely to get into the trackers you want. But just don't expect it to happen overnight.


....but pretty many guys who have invites on high level trackers do. Most of them don't....you've got the odd few that trade but then tracker staff are always on the lookout for them and will disable their account if caught. What you will find is that most of those who do have invites are very particular who they invite as they themselves could be disabled if they invite the wrong person.

And it's not about speedtests or huge ratios....it's about building a good reputation for yourself in the BT community. If you do you'll get noticed and invited.

[kooftspc11]

anybody who has been here for a couple years knows....

there seems to be a direct correlation between the number of smiley faces used and the success rate of requests

long story short....if you use more than 8 DIFFERENT smileys you will be 70% more likely to receive the invite you have requested.

good luck

true, but i dont go from person to person i know requesting anything unless its a special circumstance like i need to say something i wouldnt want everyone around here knowing which is rare. i usually just make a request here and those who know me always seem to read them sooner or later and pm me.

[SgtMajor]

I think that about covers it.

[nemrac]

LOL...I see you've passed calculus 101.

[rovama]

I think if you're a good user, and you're honest in your request, then it may happen. That's how I got invited into one of my favorites trackers, by requesting it. And that's how I also have invited some good users, by seeing their requests, and if I feel confidence about that person, then I PM'd him and ask for some extra info.

And now, speaking about chances, that depends on the tracker's level you're requesting. The higher level, the lower possibilities (most of the times, but this is not a rule). Higher level trackers don't give invites easily, but you never know If even staff from that tracker may see your request and invite you, if they think you are a good asset to their community.

[respawn40]

Meh, I generally think that for "higher level" trackers, you need to be noticed. And you don't get noticed by requesting an invite, IMO. They come to you, you don't come to them.

[vinhkhang01]

I don't base on #3 when giving out my invite to someone.
I have given high level invites to other people based on trust or friendship.



1.depends on the tracker u request
2.depends on u r history ;)
3.depends on u usuage/speed statistics

So ... 50% :)

Yeah, vinhkhang is a nice guy. He invited me to a site when he saw that it was in my list of Top 4 most wanted trackers. He didn't ask for proofs, or speeds, or anything. Just my e-mail :P And I'm doing pretty good with that account right now, so I think his trust paid off :P

[eram]

0 % to 100 % is more than anyone could ever want .Good to hear all this stuff ;) .

56.76%

[vinhkhang01]

Even posting a thread here, I will not use #3 as one of my requirements giving out an invite.

100% if you are a good guy everywhere.

50% if you are a good guy just here.

0% if you are not a good guy here.

[4rainertunes]

My advice is to forget about levels and research the various trackers. Go after the sites with content that interests you. There are some excellent low-level trackers out there.

For the high-level stuff, it's more about who you know, not the proofs you can post. No one in their right mind would give out an invite to a level 8+ site if they don't know you really well. Good things will come to you if you have a long record of quality posts.

[Funkin']

0 % to 100 % is more than anyone could ever want .Good to hear all this stuff ;) .

More than likely, you're probably already at more than enough trackers, that you can find every single type of file that you'll ever want. So I wouldn't worry about requesting.

[mamacita]

Anything that I couldn't get through the people I knew, I requested here. And every single one of those requests has been fulfilled.

Its all about how you present yourself, and the responsibility you show to others in your words and actions. If you ask with little interest, you will receive little interest in turn.

Of course, nothing beats networking. The more friends you make, the more trackers you will find yourself in. IRC is a thing of beauty.

[jokzor]

i find funny how people try to make a science of this, it's like if they wanted to learn how to lie to someone so that they would want to invite you

aren't we simply supposed to be honest and wait?

[Swift]

make friends on your the trackers that you have accounts , stay in irc forum mostly be active ;)

I pretty much have every tracker I could want for downloading needs
exept 2 which could and would add more content to my HD.
But I think I won´t request them in the near future. I ´ll just wait for giveaways and for the time that the invites will find me !

In your case, even that percentage is prob too high.

[deadalive1]

To the OP, your chances range between 0% and 100%. Each inviter has their own way of doing things and it all depends on you and your history, if you have a good history then you should do well. If it is spotty or shady or you have done trades, then count on 0% more often than not.

As a few peeps have mentioned...be active and build a good history (and not just on FST), help folks out when you can, post honestly/intelligently, don't act like an ass to other users or noobs, unless provoked..lol and above all, show respect to those who do the same... that will also help in the 'make friends' dept....and oh yeah, trading will take you out of the game faster than anything. It'll take some time and patience but you'll get a lot further in the end, as well as getting to know some really great people in the BT community along the way, vs. trying to trade your way thru. If your not comfortable with requests, you may want to mention the trackers you're interested in via your profile page here. When someone does 'notice' you, so to speak, it's very likely they will check out your profile page as well as your post history to see what kind of person you are. For that matter it doesn't hurt to mention what other communities/sites you are active at and have a history with on your profile page as well. Oh...btw, the number of smilies suggestion only works for girls I think. :P Best of luck to you!!

I'm not sure about that, depends what your looking for. Some stuff is pretty difficult to get unless youre in the right tracker.

For example i am really desperate to get an extremebits account because there arent that many graffiti or mountain bike videos out there on regular trackers.
