Errr Iamwas iTS com.rep
:lol:
So will URls still be filtered out if you have a site that doesnt want their full URL Published, as that was one of the perks of being a CR (i think, as that perk didnt interest me at all)
well then i guess I did mean you.Quote:

well as far as i can gather, thats ok now, basically its a free for all, you can giveaway/trade but if a staff member spots you they can ban your account now, so giveaway/trade at your own risk is all i can say.
It will be tough days .:whistlingQuote:

Some of us site staffers never accepted comm rep status, because of the rules attached to it. Comm rep was never automatically applied to all staffers.Quote:

Your one of the best members here, who actually seem to give a damn, have some intelligence to say, among other things.:)Quote:

but most just considered this as a pariah forum, and held no respect for it at all or its rules.
account/invite trading will always happen here, no matter if people knows if it's against tracker rules, as some trackers also don't respect what is going on here, even as FST tried to make a solution that would fit everyone.
As the criteria for a com rep to be picked by staff, i think that it will be something that will generate a lot of disputes around here, so maybe just keeping the thread saying who's staff at sites would be enough.
besides, nothing forbids staff to use their member title or sig to say that they are here to help people, should they want it.
good move imo. :yup:
well...i'm sure that the majority of the peoples who'll read this thread will understand incorrect this adjudication...and most of them will start to trade accounts like bcg,tl for up levels! hope everyone will be very careful cuz like stoi says if a member of staff wants can ban you!
well if someone traded a BCG account i could still ban them CR or not so that hasnt changed. if someone traded a BCG invite i wasnt supposed to as a CR, but now its a free for all, i can now (if we had invites).
imho though, trading accounts i do not agree with, if you dont want it just let it die, and remember on BCG you could have a 30 ratio but still be kitty litter (lots of hit and runs) so if you get that account, you still cant download.
trading invites i personally dont think is that bad tbh, every tracker needs new blood, i dont care who you are, and at least if your trading an invite, you should get a member that wants in, and knows how to use torrents, not like a RL friend who hasnt got a clue about torrents and messes up anyway.
Oh, good to know it's not just me that gets annoyed by all his spamming.Quote:

I WOULD NOT do giveaway's. Everyone already knows my stance on traders. Giveaway's will get your account diusabled on some very good sites. Take it from me EVERYONE. If you feel like you have to giveaway invites do it discreetly through pm's. Also give them to people you feel like you can trust. Or you will lose some good accounts. Trackers are raising the bar on disabling accounts of members who giveaway their invites.Quote:

Stoi, I'd have to say I disagree with you about your stance on invite giveaways. Sure, trackers need new blood, but there are other ways to invite people that don't include giveaways on trading forums.
Hell, watching his tiny e-penis grow would be more exciting than that.Quote:

Big Big problem with that though, is whoever gets invited to another site, might like it better than BCG, so we may loose a good member while the other tracker gains one of our good members.
But shit happens im afraid, ok this is public, but big deal, who cares, its better getting members from here, either by giveaways/trading than it is by uploading torrents to mininova/isohunt etc.
at least most members on here, know how to use torrents, and are not complete noobs.
I bet most trackers when they first start out, welcome the review and the WTAW thread on here, because they want members that know what the hell they are doing, its just after they close they get pissed off with everything that goes on with the WTAW thread and all the trading that goes on.
you cant have it both ways im afraid.
Agreed. FST is a double-edged sword.Quote:

Well its not up to you to decide. Its up to people to decide. If they choose to risk it thats their choice. I agree with structured giveaways, and have done them numerous times, even on high level sites with strict rules forbidding them. You have to find the people to disable them, and thats not an easy thing to do for people who cover their tracks well, even with public giveaways. Your post sounds like you know what your saying, but its only half true. People, use your best judgment, and cover your tracks. I agree on one point at least, only invite people you would be willing to stand behind.Quote:

Just like to add to my post above.
I have nothing against noobs, 90% of our members (and we have had 100,000 before) came from Mininova etc and were noobs when they joined, and we have helped most of those with the ins and outs of torrents, and the etiquette of private tackers.
the problem is, its ok getting them when they can help themselves (read forums and learn from previous posts etc) but when you get 100 posts a day asking the same thing over and over and over, it does get a tad annoying.
i wish someday i will be able to able to remember your nick :pinch:Quote:

I never stated it was up to me to decide(The mods and members themselves make that choice). Just giving out some good advice. Don't get me wrong, i'm still very greatful for everyone on here, just be careful. Also be very discreetful and only associate with people you feel like you could trust. Best advice i can give. I should of said you shouldn't. I apologize for the way i phrased it.Quote:

Some of them don't even know what faq means, nevermind figuring out how to upload and seed torrents properly.Quote:

I think they changed the phrasing of the words thanks to stoi though.Quote:

Now U are not so special, and u know who u are!
nice going.....there were many who didn't deserve the blue stars. From my personal experience I found only a few comreps like DKre8ive1,DV8,Brandon,Vidde,Fiamma,TDC who were actually nice to users n helpful. The rest were just arrogant, rude people who just ignore if u wanted some help, they didn't even care if u had any probs on there site.
Mate, first of all chill. Talking like that regarding all ComReps is unwarranted. As all people, some of them are excellent people while others are less than perfect. Generalizing like you did is wrong, as does gloating regarding the fact that they're not special anymore (wtf do you mean by "special" anyway?! They're all human beings like the rest of us after all.)Quote:

Yeah some probably thought they where special!
Maybe if some wasn't so rude, then i would have to say those things, so stay out of it!
Nothing wrong with removing Comm Reps.
If some Staff wants to help, he will do it regardless of his title ;)
Among good staffers, we shouldn't forget Ex-NB Admin - Vidde :D
Always Helpful and Co-operative :)
