What invites are worth (Improvements and suggestions Thread)

hi

For continous improvements of the main sticky thread ,Me and Buggy decided to see your opinions and suggestions in order to make the thread more helpful to everyone in here

so we would like you guys to post your opinions and suggestions about the thread sothat we can make it better ,here is some questions that came to my mind but u can always suggest anything and it will be much appreciated :)

What do u think of the thread now and what does it need?

Do u think we should add more trackers?

Do u think we should remove some?

Do u think that the reviews is good or should we add more information?

Do u think that some trackers are over-rated and some is under-rated?

what's your personal Suggestions for improving the thread?

Feel Free To post whatever your thoughts are and we will be very glad to work on the thread to improve it

add more trackers

umm the "etc" thing is really annoying :)
beside that, it's really great thread.

but usually not showing how good the tracker is (lame sites ranked 4, good sites ranked 2 sometimes)

keep up the great work.

I think you should have 2 topic.
One is closed and only posted by you,have lots of tracker and details.
One is open to post,user post there their opinions about sites.

this is gonna be really good thread..

one thing slipped my mind now, and that is that there should be SAME INFO ( not yelling =) ) on every tracker review ...
for example, pisexy review contains only user classes info, while fsc or any other tracker contains a lot of different informations ...

reviews should contain same info ...

contain contain contain lalala lot of containing




p.s. when'll ftn come back :cry

put some screen shot so we can see the number of seedrs-torrents-...

its a great thread, i check it all the time. I think you could improve it though by adding some more trackers and updating the current levels of the existing trackers. Eg, i think iPlay should go down since it has had open sign ups for quite a while. And i think The Place should be a lot higher since it seems to be closed coompletely now.

1. tauritracker is overrated
2. hdbits should be bit higher
3. SCC bit higher too
4. rmvb should be at the list

btw. maybe u should provide a list of the trackers, group it in levels 1-5 (like now),
and give us a possibility to vote on every single one, so that way this rank would be updated quite often.......

Do u think we should add more trackers?
yep' i think you should add tracker in level 1-3...
Do u think we should remove some?
no all the site that in the list are deserve their place.
Do u think that some trackers are over-rated and some is under-rated?
of course...i think **-* is over rated...the site in his content speed and pre times is pretty good but the rarity is the reason why the site is in 5 level.
it's should be in level 4-4.5 no more than that.
i think FTN should be at 5...it's my opinion and there are much ppl who think i am wrong.
FTN is better in his speed pre times and content than **-* and to get an invite at FTN is hard now becuase you need to upload 200 GB and then talk to the staff and then you will get an invite.
i think FTN should be at level 5 :).
i hope i helped.:)

What do people value most?
Speed/content/specialisation/rarity/staff/special offers/pre time or a mix?

I think the more trackers listed the better. FTN should defiantely move up to level 5. U*** is hard to get yes but is it really that good? A lot of people have felt sad after all the effort they put into getting U*** for it all to go to waste.

I agree more sites the better i hear of new ones every day, FTN should go up but wait till i have one:D, im hoping this will be my no.1:D

yeah

level 5: FTN , SCT
level 4.5: EXIGO, RABBIT, FB, RP, REVOLT, UK-T
level 4: SWEDVDR, WB, NB, THORS
level 3.5: TT, PT, KG, HDBITS, FL, SB, RMVBUSTERS
level 3: SCC, TL(if the rank wouldnt focus only at rarity), IPLAY, RSR, PISEXY, BIMTMETV, CZONE, REVTT, TORRENTBITS

Thats just my idea of top 10-15 trackers,,,,,,,,,

the thread is not valuing tracker, just rarity. that's a problem

so lets not focus only at rarity, lets make it more complex......

what invites are worth = value

the thread is great but it could use a little improvement

- add more trackers to each lvl (1 to 5);
- for each tracker listed there should be an review written so that everyone can get all the info that they need;
- reviews are ok in my opinion;
- and i have an idea about the tracker rating...
since there are a lot of trackers that are over-rated/under-rated why don`t u use a formula to calculate the rating:
the formula is : content (rating from 1 to 5) + speed (rating) + rarity (rating) + pre times (rating) / 4...
this way i think that the rating would be much more accurate because now the rating is based more on the rarity of the tracker an less on content and speed ...
ex: rSR (which i think it`s under-rated) : content+speed+rarity+pre/4 = 3.5+3.5+5+3.5/4 = 3.875
U*** (over-rated) : 4+4+5+3.5/4 = 4.125
i`m not saying that rSR is as good as U*** but the overall rating will be based not only on rarity or content, but on all the four characteristics :)
i don`t know if u like my idea, but i thought maybe it`s helpful

actually that formula would be quite fair i guess......

I think you may be onto something p3st... Let's continue along those lines.

the problem is not everyone has the same speeds when it comes to uploading and downloading.
I will never ask for sct as i dont think i could keep a good ratio there, so sct is not worth much to me.
I think my no1 will be FTN, atm it is FSC.
so maybe an idea is to say what you need, to get the maximum out of a site, i keep seeing ppl wanting sct cause its no1, i think they wouldnt last a month if they got in there.
no point seeding at 50kbs if everybody else is finished d/l in 5 minutes.

thx man ... it`s not fair to rate a tracker only upon it`s rarity ...
imo tl is one of the best and it`s rated only 2...

exactly, TL should be 3 - 3.5

agreed i will max my speed here everytime, and they get pretty much everything everybody else does.

i second to that, tl is really under-rated. its one of the best. pre-times and releases are a lil low & slow compared to sct & ftn, thats it, otherwise its very good !

so let`s say that content + speed + rarity + pre / 4 for tl is like this: 4.5 + 4 + 3 + 3 / 4 = 3.625 (which is closer to it`s true rating) :)

The whole point of the what invites are worth thread is to determine what the trackers' values are in trades. TL is worth nothing in trades because it's so easily obtained. Corey is doing another thread on what the trackers themselves are worth; you should check that out instead.

sounds good but we need to stop giving them away:D

@shadowfire

i don`t agree ; why is let`s say ftwr more valuable than tl???
it dosen`t have more peers,users,torrents...so why? because it`s a lot rarer...
i would never trade my tl account for ANY lvl 4-4.5 tracker (not even for ftn...) :)

RvTT, higher :D, one of the BesT

should free leech play a part in rating?

donations for upload credit?

no i don't think so.

there should to 2 threads... one is only rarity, and one is with the thing we're talking about now.

cause if there will be only one... ppl will give FTWR (for example) for TL... and it's not fair.

@green goblin

i don`t think so freelech/donations for credit
we should stick to the four characteristics

but what is the best tracker for tv.
best for movies
games, and so on too hard to say this tracker is no1, all comes down to what you want, looking for.

Rarity is the whole point of that thread. People give TL away for free. Can your get ftwr for free right now? Not unless it's an outlier.

How good a tracker really is is another story for another thread (like Corey's), or for the tracker reviews. In fact in reviewing, I don't even think you should be rating a thread. It should be more like telling a lot about the tracker and letting the individual decide.

@3333 why not?
pls explain...
why dosen`t tl ban inv users for trading like ftwr did?
tell u why because they are more professional and care a lot more about their users...
well...at least that`s my opinion, i don`t want to offend anyone :)

@shadowfire

ok let`s say that i agree but not entirely
the fact is that i don`t like ppl who trade tackers just for sport and never use them...

That's true, but that's beside the point.

In a way, banning people for invite trading is caring about users in the staff's eyes. It's being more strict about who actually gets let into the tracker. 3333's right; the two-thread thing we have right now is perfectly fine. I might agree with some of the individual rankings in the WIAW thread, but the overall concept is ok.

it's not fair just because getting TL is easier than FTWR.

i think Corey's thread should be the way you suggest, and this thread should stay like this, but with a little more attention to the content and speed (not too much).

i mean, there are many 4-4.5 trackers that wort sh*t. :)

@shadowfire

true, but rarity dosen`t always mean quality
