tl;dr: Treat people the way you would like to be treated.
I disagree. A lot of people have been stabbed in the back doing that here, yes it's a good theory but you'd want to do it very carefully. And probably not here.Quote:

It's a way to build higher self-esteem, through insulting people who are supposedly lower class (in torrent world of course).
It could also be as well, when they were new, they got treated the same way, then when they eventually get in, its get your own back time.
I would not know though, i dont have anything higher than a lvl 2 (BCG) i did have a lvl 9, wasnt for me so deleted my account after 1 or 2 weeks.
The only thing that really sucks is when the tracker you want to check out has closed invites forever and indefinitely; subsequently, 99% of the people who are members of said 'high level' tracker then come to FST put the site logo into a collector's badge in their siggy and claim it's the best tracker ever.
Then later you get more details like stats and screenshots, and you think to yourself, some of these 'high level' trackers are 90% hype aren't they? The word overrated pops into your head, but you can never really be sure that there isn't something great behind those closed doors.
I know of at least one site, the bunny, that I joined early on and thought.. "This stinks." But now I regret letting my account die, because there might be something fun going on in there - And also because I have the means to contribute to trackers a little more nowadays.
wow i didn't notice that BCG was no longer level 4 ... i just checked the WTAW and its been changed... hrmmm....Quote:

I have stated how I do my inviting so that people can see what the requirements are to get an invite from me, from that people can then judge wether they think I am pompous or not :)Quote:

Other people may make comments etc and not give reasons why they will not give invites out :)
So I do not consider it off topic.
Sorry for not replying to your comment earlier but not been about b4 to post.
As for the spoiler yes I am one of the owners of a site that is about 18 months old now :)
Sign ups to it are currently open and it is listed in the open sign ups section here
The initials on me site bar in me sig should be a hint :)
It's important to realize that the moment you step away from your computer that none of this matters. Unless of course some of the law came busting down your door...Quote:

Backstabbed or whatever, there's no use in being paranoid as there's no true way of determining a character through some text. Therefore I treat (mostly) everyone as an equal.
Just contribution isnt enough for this forum, I was giving away 2 week kimsufixxl etc... but got banned for smt really really bull...... Anyway If you want to get from here, you need to be majoritarian, just listen the voices of majority, and act accordingly, if you are to become an opposition, you will be on a harsh way (banned twice) And there will be people who luv to mock instead of paying heed to others opinion. But when the way is harsher, the friends you get are way more quality than the ones in majority, got tt nb elektro ftn offers in less then 10 day... i didnt take ftn invite though i dont need it....My point is, if you are courageous to criticize mods admins or owners, you will have really awesome friends, friends that you can donate 50 euro for without hesitation....But if you choose to be majoritarian, you will have friends who will invite you anywhere again, but you wont be able to talk about who you are etc...It will be more like a sham rather than friendship, if you agree with their opinion, then go for it, but if you dont, i suggest you create your own way...Quote:

All you have to do is get yourself in some kick-ass, easier to get into sites, with a shit load of content and excellent speeds, and you'll be all set. You'll have all the content that you'll need. And eventually...if you participate at your tracker forums, or even this forum for long enough, make some friends, you just might get into these so-called "top sites" that you seem to want so badly.
Keep in mind, these are just web sites. Not something to get all pissed or jealous over. I wish you the best in your quest of obtaining the largest e-penis.
You are right about a few things but not all... You are saying it is mostly about your image on the internet but that is not the case always. When i came here, i only made one request, TT, i dont care about its level or such it is i guess level 6 or 7 though... Anyway the reason i wanted it was because i luv trance techno hardcore music etc...I am a member now, and i really enjoy it i think it is the only tracker for which i can cry if i lose my account...I donated quite an amount for the great work they are doing etc...Was this about Level or Being a Top site? No Not AT ALL... I dont need what i wont use, i didnt get bitmetv even though i can get it right now, i have been offered 4 5 times now, i didnt get ftn today because i dont need it...Though helped 3 guyz to get it today... My point is that not everybody is after levels or such...It is just a few guyz who blame others of chasing after level even if their intention has nothing to do with getting into top sites...Quote:

First off...welcome back bikenter. I for one actually always enjoy reading your posts.Quote:

And I made sure I became a member at both of these trackers because I've been a huger gamer for over twenty years, and I like getting music in a lossless format. And these two trackers are the best of their kind. So naturally I wanted to join...only for the content.
But this poster seems really hard up for FTN. And this I can't understand. As someone else mentioned in this thread(Stoi I believe), FTN is one of those sites that is almost impossible to get into, so why would someone want or crave it so badly? ESPECIALLY, since it's a 0day tracker. And there are tons of 0day trackers out there that are just as good content wise. They may not have a community as good as FTN, but for content, they are just as good.
Now if this person wants FTN for something else besides e-penis, then I take back my whole previous post. But when seeing a new member(and not just new here, but admittedly new to bittorrent, and also admitting to know absolutely nothing about the site) wanting FTN so badly, it's really hard not to think that person wants to become a member just to say that he/she is a member at a rare site. Just for a trophy.
I agree mate, Today there was this guy who asked for a help to get into ftn, I looked for a while etc... Anyway at the end, he said sct and its is enough for me if you cant find an invite, it is no problem... This is what drove me to look harder for him etc... Again i agree that people who are looking for a general tracker is mostly after level etc... I just got into sct to see what was soooo special about this that people compare it with ftn etc.... Actually i am disappointed... Sct is good for those who are new to torrent and who wants to have all in one (nice site design, good forums, speed, content and freeleech and etc) In my opinion, if someone has revtt tl and scc, they definitely dont need sct... Those who have tl revtt and scc shall never even bother asking for sct because there is nothing special... I agree it is a good tracker but not much different from the combined power of scc revtt and tl...Again, i definitely wont understand people who are after a general tracker....Quote:

I also think people think once they got a level 4 tracker they should get a level 5 one and so on till they have a tracker at every different level.
In which case I need trackers at the following levels where I do not have one yet 4, 5, 6 , 7, 10 so hopefully some one can help :)
Joking on needing any more trackers btw, but that what some people requesting invites seem to be doing

i dunno why you got banned those times but don't hold back on the opinions keep sharing
I heard i was being nominated to be a bt mod :P Anyway The first time, they may be right about ban but the second time, it was obviously wrong, i just told i dont like people who loves to ridicule newbies and a newbie wont probably get tt because of lack of experience... It is such a .... It doesnt require you to be a here for 1 year to request a tt invite... In the end, they are all invite, as long as they are sent to right person, wont keep them at all...Btw i am done with giving away here, i am gonna make give aways in other forums

The security matters.
Why would I invite you to FTN if I don't even know you? To get a ban then when you cheat? No, Thanks.
shame on them.... like other guy said.. they are just invites.. Gees. :dry:Quote:
People act like they are so l33t when it comes to private torrent sites and .....
Well In my case, I should say I have been lucky and more than so on numerous occasions to get into such sites, I would first say well it was mostly because of the way I approached a certain individual and how presented myself, funny How sometimes when I approach some members, I then learn t that they were mods on that site I was inquiring about, I have loads of high level trackers memberships (way before I was aware of this whole level system) f**r, indie, mo***, etc ) some times I ponder wow!!! that was easy.Quote:
Do you honestly think you can just walk in and get an invite to a "high level site"
Am I content/satisfied?
Yes! I am, is just that most ppl or newbies dont not know the true contents of these sites.... they all basically have the shame stuff, but some how the site has be spoken of to have some more stash or exclusivity which is rarely the case, sure some will differ than others... a person should try and answer the first basic question - what I am after from this site's contents...?
Very true but at the same time, you seem to forget we live in a media centric society, we tend sometimes (sometimes) to be jolted and fueled by the current trend of things.Quote:
The real question is: why are some users so presumptuous to think they belong in every tracker? After all it is mostly greed
Can't you help but notice this trend -- "EVERYBODY WANTS IT, SO I WANT ONE AS WELL and I MUST HAVE" in regards to one's hunger for such a site, that is always seems to be a topic starter and is generated over and over again...
A good logical approach, but doesn't favor the torrent community at this time any more, why I say so... any thing Torrent related in head line news, sure its nice to have any community grow in size, but one must be weary of such an inflow, to protect themselves.. or otherwise.Quote:
Treat people the way you would like to be treated.
semi of topic
I remember when I first registered which oink, I found it by accident and eventually my account was disabled for inactivity, then the next I wanted back in, they had implemented the irc signup method of one-one questions, in which other sites at the
time also started to used.. then my account on oink was again disabled for inactivity, was never really into torrents back then mostly 'cos I didn't have a computer of my own...
Anyways to cut the story short, by the time I had my own personal comp and ready to RAPE the net, the invite systems was starting to be the trend, well I did the normal thing which was to search for one and wasn't to long before I had an invite - Whooo lah!!
Ok.. some of you may shoot me here, but what is wrong with Simply by ASKING?
I did, and I received. :01:
If some one asked me, I would give, which all comes back to the line "treat people the way you would like to be treated". :fst:
to be real, one can only go so far when you either ridicule the person with little knowledge of the system (newbies) or always want something In return, there should be joy in giving - just not on a random erratic behavioral level.
Yeah man, that is very true. That goes to every tracker i am a part of which aint that many but private and good.Quote:

It is very hard to trust people these days, they can seem like a OK guy at first, kiss your ass a bit you know.
But to often after some time you get that PM from staff that your inviteé have a lousy ratio, cheating, acting irresponsible,
trading-whatever and your in the crapper.
Not that it have happened to me the restrictive person i am but i hear these things all the time.
