Every tracker should have a "guest" account

Thank you sez. A little harsh but gets the point across ;)

I'm not trying to "get what I can't have". I already have a BcG account, I'm thinking its a good way to reduce traders/collectors. Even if I wanted to "get what I can't have", that doesn't make any sense at all. The point of a guest account is that you can't DL, post in the forums, ect. How is that in any way going to help you "get what you can't have"?:rolleyes: I think that it wouldn't affect security, and it could be a good addition. I may be right or wrong, thats what this thread is for.

As to the point of reviews, almost half the reviews seem to have outdated stats, broken pics, or more. And honestly, how are you supposed to tell everything about the tracker from 1 browse page or 1 forum SS? If the browse page SS is taken during the night, there may be less peers and thus skew opinions (or vice versa). And if the forums SS has millions of threads and posts in each section, but they're all "Rate that ass" or "Whats the last movie you watched" posts, how can you tell whether the community is really what you want?

So have a guest account. It doesn't have to be completely public. Maybe Anyone who has posession of invites can create a temporary guest account that lasts for an hour. To allow potential invitees to browse the site. Afterwards it dies.

I do realize that perhaps my initial suggestions may have been too public, but what about something like creating a temporary guest account? Or other suggestions?

I would sooner have members invite some one in and then if they not like the place have them pm a staff member and have the account deleted and then the person who invited you have the invite given back.
Now I know other tracker staff/owners will more than likely disagree with me but that is just my opinion on a way for people to see if a site is some where they wish to be member of.
But to be fair the place where I would operate that a lot of the people who are invited come for the mma content and chat and know what to expect on that side of things

Cmon aren't we all guests, in the tracker ?

Not really imho it is the members that make a tracker and can go to another level and say the real owners are the donators of them as they make sure the trackers keep running.

@duckater, in a fight in wich, youre completely right, you will never win.

Proof off that, where the many stupid bans at hdbits, or waffles, there was a mistake on their side, still, they didn't´t admit it.
i.e in the end, youre just a guest.
Ps: don´t try to proof it ;)

d-post sorry.

In that case the owners in most cases are guests too.
I will let you try and disprove that one :)

In that case no one on most sites really own them :)

The staff.

And friends ( vips ) who run other trackers.

That´s why they're called vips.



double post day ftw!!!!!!

Even a temp guest account would be exposing too much. Some trackers thrive on security and would NEVER do this. Ever.

Others like bcg yeah why not it's pretty big, I doubt the guest account would do anything. If you plan on being active or vice versa, a guest account will not change anything.

We will all have our own opinions on who owns the tracker, but its not the owning of a tracker that is important its the members that really make it, wether they be VIP or just a plain member.
The rules and features not to mention the content, speed and presof the tracker will be a big factor in what the member base is like and of course that is determined by the owners and staff.
