Trophy Hunting and why it is bad for BT communities

Soooooooo


Here is my problem with users like you guys, you beg for years to get into sites, then just hold the accounts and do not use the tracker/forums/irc. WTF

Why this is bad:
1. You dont use the tracker...why else would you join a bt site..in the end we want you to use our trackers.
2. You take up the spot of a potential active user who will use the tracker and contribute back to the community.
3. You log in once a week to check to see the status of the tracker and then disappear for another week.
4. You don't donate, because you dont use the tracker.
5. You suck at life.


If you are one of these users, pretty soon things will change. I know of 4-5 trackers that are sought solely for their rarity that will be cutting anyone who does not use the tracker.

So take this as a warning...if you are looking for a tracker just to get it and brag about having it...and do not use it. You WILL not have an account there in about...oo say 4 weeks.

Be active or dont take the invite or delete your account.

Stop wasting our time. ;)

if i don't use a site i give it away

I don't join stuff I won't be active on. I see no meaning in that

Nice initiative that trackers will be cutting them off. Hope the trackers get active and caring users in the future ^^

See, you warn people, now they'll all go off and download a torrent or 2 a week, making them 'active'. Thats not gunna help diddly. Just cut them now, no warning.

oh I didnt say its only happening at one time period...im saying this is going to start and continuously happen..as in every few days accounts will be checked and trashed.

/me loves scripts.

When I find something nice to download I download. There is no way in hell that I'm going to download just to not get deleted.

I say good riddance to any site, that feels I can't do that.

correct...

also if trackers' /delacct.php pages EVER worked people may delete their accounts. Also, if trackers didnt suck balls, people would use them.

let me reinstate what i said

Im referring to the jackoffs who have accounts with stats like

well change the rules like HDBits did. That guarantees an active userbase.

that's a ridiculous example. an account like that should have been pruned 1 year and 11 months ago.

hahaha, how the hell are you helping me?

Also, I know exactly who you are.... and you are still of no help to me.

I just love how a 22yo (if info is correct) just indirectly called me a kid.

You've obviously missed the point. :dabs:

on the other hand, you can't ask people to dl stuffs every weeks like bots.
for example, i've been pretty active in what.cd & waffles during 2 month by downloading tons of albums almost everyday and yet, i didn't use both sites since 1.5 month... does it make me a bad apple ?
i think we should be free to dl stuff whenever we want as long as it doesn't go too far... using a tracker doesn't necessarily mean that you appreciate all its content not to mention that nobody is immune to hardware problems / life issues.

anyway, we agree that something mus be done against beggars/collectors.

you fatcat ,my ass and static electricity :dabs:

Nope, hence the "(if info is correct)" part. Judging on your choice of phrase when questioned, I would guess younger than 22.

FFS, can't we have one fucking thread that doesn't turn to name calling by page 2? :no:


As for the topic - I keep Bittorrent sites as part of my repertoire. I don't use any of them with any regular frequency, but they're nice to have when I can't find something by the usual methods.

The last thing I downloaded at:

FTN was in August.
SCT is probably about same.
E**** was September.
TL was so long ago that none of the torrents are even still on the site and my snatchlist is empty.

If the sites really didn't want irregular users, they could just purge the unused accounts. :idunno:

As of late it seems not, must be the holiday stress getting to people.

Collector-Rejector reporting in!

Hmmm.. some trackers I just don't use that often. If I'm seeding 10 things on torrentsiteX but only login once in a couple weeks to see what is new, if anything, I think it's bad to kick me out.

Not everyone has to be a "heavy user" to be using and contributing to a site.

Pretty soon we are going to see trackers that say you have to download 5 movies a day to stay active. Not everyone watches 10 hours worth of movies a day.

The entire point of this thread...was to point out that you dont need to collect trackers!

For 0day you can get everything that you want on scc/tl those are two easy sites to get into. Most people i know still use those two sites even when they have other sites.

My point is you do not need 10 0day sites sitting and collecting dust. You should be active on 1 or 2 and thats it, half the uploaders for all the big 5, upload on all of them. The big 5 also each have autoscripts going that up the same thing. Just look in a tracers channel and watch /me shakes head.

The point is...if you have accounts that you ran after and once you got you were like "oh why all the hype, im not going to use this" then delete your account. PM staff if the delete app isnt working. Make space for progress.


To the 3 haters: If the thread wasn't worth your time...stop posting in it :lol: walking irony.

Most accounts I have are immune to pruning or just have lazy scripts because I always expect them to be deleted when I check. Also I've had trackers deny my request to delete my account. SCC was one. Others have been pruned, I've kept FTN to check out sometimes, but that's the one I used most anyway for the forums and whatever. I use it to find headers on files sometimes still.

SCT FSC iTS SCL IFI etc etc are all gone since I began to leech using newsgroups more.

I completely agree that having too many sites is useless. But you sound like a bit of a dbag from your condescending tone.

4. You don't donate, because you dont use the tracker.

---

Donating or not has nothing to do with how much of an active user you are. Many times I see people donate to get VIP and use that account to trade..

On topic: People clamoring for any invite they see annoys me. But this should annoy everyone in my opinion.

for a 22 year old, probably whit pimples in his face, and no girlfriend, i understand, you perfectly, you have the smack you own cock sindrom!

grow up, we have wifes, kids, girlfriends, more girlfriends, jobs, and sex to do all day if possible!!!

what do u think you are? a global collector, who comes here and thinks everyone here is a cheater and a collector like you?

grow up, some bear first, than drink some beer like man do, and than, come and talk to me. ps this thread is laughable!

makes me think what you said- # ppl dont donate # ummm maybe thoese tracker really whant is money.

revtt is fine by me. or even mininova.

who is we?

him and his alter egos. :idunno:

The Royal "we" You know, the editorial...

/Lebowski

Dont you know, he is important boy on all the trackers , he can have all of your accounts disabled... didnt you know? He says so himself.

I think members expect some sites to have the impossible, movies that have yet to be released in theaters-music-ect. But then get disappointed. IDK?
There are some characters here. :book:

Who cares? They are practically just dustballs in a MYSQL server somewhere. If they want to waste their time collecting and maintaining a huge set of sites, then that's their problem.

ya i know, last night he told me, like, "i gonna disable all ur accs!!11!!". now im vry scared. :cry::cry::cry:

So, how you tell a trophy hunter from a genuine member?

You ask FatCat, he's the judge on everything, obviousment.
I've heard he's even close to FSC staff's ear, if you ever have problems with them.

Fatcat, your so stuck up your own arse its laughable.

You come on here so high and mighty with your posts, yet not one person has took you seriously in this thread. Doesnt that tell you something lol.

Grovelling to tracker Admins to try and make yourself look important means shit all in real life you know. So take your own advice from point number 5. Nobody here seems to care what you say.

Thank you for telling us all something that we did not already know.

This thread is so off topic...

Pointless...?
