Invites are for friends. You know, those people who take the time to explain to you how to maintain a ratio, what the differences are between the filetypes, how to properly encode and upload an album, etc, etc. If you don't have any friends who are members of what.cd, then they were nice enough to set up an interview system. To weed out the leechers and other undesirables they require that you answer some questions about basic knowledge that you would need to be a contributing member. If you don't have any friends, and you're too lazy to do the small bit of research required to pass their interview, then you don't deserve to be a member.

Because you're only supposed to invite people you trust, and not random people from forums. How that rule is broken so often is another matter.

---

my point is that if they really believe in the quality of their members they would vet them all, not just the ones they can be bothered with. you say trust, just how can you trust anyone you meet over the internet.

i can say i have never been on the site or a member of it. i just do not agree with the interview crap, when they give invites out too.

They trust their members to only invite people they know and trust. If you abuse that trust and send invites to strangers who post on forums, you'll find yourself looking at the site from the outside, also, which is why everyone in this thread except for YOU were suggesting that the OP take the interview to join.

Remember, YOU were the one telling us to "just give him one" :D

Again, invites are for friends, not strangers from the Internet. That's why they have interviews.
