2009 PTN Authorized Recruitment
Once again...
There is no catch here. I don't have to know you. I will simply be looking at your history and profiles. I don't need or require rep points. I do have lots of friends and you can therefore rest assured that if there is something that reflects negatively about you, I will find out. The point being...Be honest. It goes along way...Better for you to tell me now than for someone to tell me later! You will become part of my invite tree...So believe me I will scrutinize your app.
If I do know you and what kind of user you already are we can forgo the app. ONLY IF I KNOW YOU, though!
If you are a current trader, please do not waste our time. If you have traded in the past but are "retired" then you might still have an opportunity. If you retired anytime in the last few months then please don't bother. I would ask or require more time to ensure that you have in fact changed your ways.
I welcome everyones feedback on this thread in regards to the potential invitees...If you want to recommend them then feel free. If you have some dirt on them that is legit and can be backed up then also feel free to post. So in order for this to work properly I will only consider people who first post here... "PM sent!" or something to that fact. If you do not post in this thread before you PM me your app then I will not consider your app. I will delete your PM without reading...If you don't have the consideration to read this then I am not inclined to read what you have to say.
Make sure you read the above before PMing me your answers!!! It will be obvious if you haven't and I will delete your PM without reading!
1) How old are you and where are you from? Here at PtN we have an international community and users from every age group and we want to know how you fit in.
2) Why do you want to join this tracker? How did you hear about PtN and why do you want to join us?
3) How active will you be if you get accepted? Here at PtN, we strive to be an active tracker as well as online community, hence we want only active users that will post in forums and download torrents regularly. No room for collectors.
4) Provide 4 profile links of your most used trackers. We need to see how well you are doing on your other trackers. Whether you have good torrent practices or not because we want only the best for PtN.
5) How long do you keep your files seeding? PtN has no ratio, so we like to know how long will you contribute to file seeding for the benefit of the other users.
6) What is your experience level with torrents? Do you know how to forward and optimize your torrent client? Do you know how to rip, encode, upload torrents?
7) What do you think you can offer PtN? Tell us why you would make a welcome addition to PtN. Do you have any other special skills that may interest or be useful to our community.
8) Have you ever traded before? If so when was the last time you traded after retiring? Be honest! Trust me that lies will eventually be found out. Honesty pays.
9) What are your views on trading (accounts and/or invites). There are merits to every view, so we would like to know what is your take on this matter.
10) Are you easily offended by jokes and pranks?
11) If a friend you just met recently on an online forum asks you what is PtN and whether it's a great place, what will you tell him about us? This is not a trick question. You may discuss the tracker in a private matter with a friend. I understand that this question is hard to answer since you are not yet a member...Just do your best.
12) Your email address:
DO NOT INCLUDE SCREENSHOTS OR SO CALLED "RATIO PROOFS"!!! NO PROFILE LINKS = NO INVITE!

Re: 2009 PTN Authorized Recruitment
funny that neither in your giveaways or the ones from takems, people just get scared and are afraid to request an invite.
i can't imagine there are so many bad weeds around here...
"can i haz one plz" or "i very good memba here" or "i dream of it, plz invite me" or "i needz it very much, plz plz"
at least we don't get those kind of replies here.

On the other hand, we'll probably get a couple of "great ga m8", "keep up the good work bro", "nice one pal" etc... :P

If you give me 1000USD I will accept to IP ban you from our tracker. I mean really, was that supposed to be funny or what?
Or were you trying to wittily show us how much contempt you have for PtN?
Point taken(?) I guess :dabs:

I thought that he was trying to demonstrate a reason why you should stay in school.

Re: 2009 PTN Authorized Recruitment
Lol@ the absurdity of it all. I had a job interview the other day with somewhat similar questions. :)))
When did torrenting become so serious? It's just files. :/
Anyway,good luck with it. :)

But seriously, it may be a bit of overkill, but its their tracker, they can do what they want I guess.

Re: 2009 PTN Authorized Recruitment
This is stupid, having to give you an explanation why anyone would want an account.
Why don't you just open the tracker to anyone?
So because people post here and are well liked are better?
Trading and offering invitations like that is just wrong.

What thread are you reading? :blink:
Is the best way to filter who gets in. Instead of opening the door for dupe accounts-ect. A safer, easier way to invite new members...

It's just our way of doing things. It's a safer way of proactively finding new members. It gives people we don't already know an opportunity to join a tracker they otherwise would not be able to join, so it's actually for the better as far as noobs to torrenting are concerned.
Hope that helps explain it some to you :)

I know, but I hate giving speed tests, showing ratios and beg for an invite, that is to much work :w00t:.

We don't require speedtests or the trouble of making screenshots...Simple profile links is suffice. I would also expect you not to beg. And it is not too much work if it is a site that you want to be a member of. Not any work at all if you have no interest.

99% of sites, click on your username, and copy the url in the adress bar of your browser. then paste it into the PM you are sending. Never post those urls in a public place though ;)
