I then did another large give away and at first went good and then all helll broke lose. most built up a buffer waited and thought we would not look at them again and then traded there accounts. about 80% from that giveaway was banned for cheating and or account trading. I did another one and about half still on site.
So out of all the free accounts i have given only about 15% are still members and very active. So based on this why would i waste my time when all these people want to do is stock pile accounts to trade or use untill they get banned from over leeching and hit and running, then get banned and then try and get another account. This happens way to much from people, and is why the invite system is now off to all members.

Well all i can say is good call. I think many trackers should disable invites and have them given out on special occasions or only by user requests.
Maybe even let only the staff invite people.

If the post is reported, it has to be actioned in accordance with the rules, if it is ignored, then it also gets ignored by the staff.
Re: need some answers from staff?
i know at least one site that wishes to remain private, yet nobody here gives a fuck... the staff at the site even tried to work with the site here, to no avail - even after a big giveaway (after invites were closed)
oh yeah, from what i've heard, more than 75% of the users that got on the site were banned within 2 weeks for trades, cheating etc.
and people here wonder why fst has such a bad reputation!

E**** | FTN | iPlay | iTS | NB | TDC | TL | WB
here is the list of trackers for which accounts are not allowed to be traded but i have seen quite a few guys try to trade then they are told not to do so and may be they get infrac.
Here is the main question , does fst allow the following trackers accounts to be give away and what does those trackers staff think about giveaway of account?
No. The whole point is the account should not change hands.
Invite trades (if available) and giveaways for those trackers are OK.

FTN - seen giveaways
iPlay - never seen giveaways and staff here
iTS - dunno wtf is this
NB - 1 or 2 giveaways
TDC - at least 1 big giveaway
TL - registration closed, never seen giveaways
WB - seen a couple of giveaways back then
So at least 4 sites don't give anything in return.
Mhmm, i did a giveaway a while back a month or two, maybe three, in which i combined most of these trackers, and asked staff for invites to giveaway. They gladly accepted. Many of those listed actually participated...

You're talking about invites; he's referring to accounts.

What, in your 3 months of membership makes you believe that you know enough about this forum to make such a statement?
Fact is, for every tracker that has a rule against trading, there is another tracker which is trying to attain popularity, and literally begs us to include them in the WIAW thread and give them Community Rep status. They are attempting to become a successful tracker and want to be known.
Point is, it would be absurd to ban account trading for all trackers when there are numerous trackers which have voiced their opinion that they don't care either way.
In your limited time, I also surmise that you didn't bother to read some of the stickies right here in the section. This sticky contains information about the Community Reps, who they are, and what is agreed to upon prior to accepting the status.
Note the following paragraph contained in the Community Rep guidelines regarding account trading:
Quote:
Account Trading
“Community Reps” that are active on FST and have issue with account trades are asked to post politely in threads that are an issue. Then post a report regarding it. The thread will be trashed or edited and the member will be contacted. We do ask “Community Reps” are active on the site so it’s a joint effort educating members regarding their rules.
“Community Reps” are required to be civil as slamming members simply doesn’t work. They are welcome to PM members nicely regarding their rules. Most will notice the “Community Reps” rank and step in line. We want to work together to sort these issues. There is a list of sites represented by active “Community Reps” on FST against account trading posted in a sticky in the Invites section.
If a tracker doesn't want their accounts traded, all they are required to do is let us know, so we can differentiate those trackers from the others.
Now, fuck off. :)
