This is a request for more members here to fill more requests instead of doing giveaways. I have a couple reason for this and Ill explain. First, it is my opinion that a lot of people here do giveaways to gain attention and eventually gain from them- IMO this is the complete wrong reason to do this. I love this place and I really hope it becomes a nice, tight knit community.

My second reason is that it is alot more secure for trakers if we give invites away privately (through pm) to deserving members who requests them. Dont get me wrong, this by no means is me saying we should fill every request that happens here, but more often that not i see some deserving members not getting what they deserve :( .

This is a community and we should really help eachother for the sake of helping, not gaining from our genorosity. Take me for example, I have very few requests here (and the ones i do have are from very early in my history). The reason I am here is to help and the # of invites i have given isnt really that important. I really just hope for a more generous Fst.

So what do you guys think?? Feel free to discuss/bash/agree/spam (its always fun :) )


Thanks guys

Jon

Jon, in all honesty, you have a better chance resurrecting the U.S.S.R then making this place a good tight nit community :lol:

For that I totally have to agree Jonny. The whole meaning of helping someone is to ask nothing for return, and I'm glad that you are still with us :D

In most giveaways majority of the requesters are relatively new users, hence they have less post counts and rep points. It's a bit ironic (no offence) that if those users are to make a request thread, people would be hesitant to invite them due to their "low status". However if they were to participate in a giveaway, they would stand a chance of receiving one?

Just my 2 cents

You might be right :), but its worth a try isnt it ??

Either way i know you do things the right way fatcat, there are a few other users that do the same too. I dont think it is a coincidence that people that give invites privately are usually the ones with all the accounts they desire, I guess that people have to learn for themselves though.

I for one am not gonna give up on it though ;)
