Perish the thought :O

Not really. There are plenty of community reps here, even those that aren't open about it. A community rep is not defined by the giving out of invites, or by the boasting about their tracker.
Re: FST community we need a Recruiters suf-forum
Well that's well intransit really is. A community rep that is pretty much laying low and not openly stating it.
But under the OP's pretense, where a completely new sub forum would be created for community reps to recruit would most certainly require a very obvious and open advertisement the he is, in fact, recruiting for a tracker.

Ironically enough, I am listed in the tracker staff thread here, but with the wrong nick, which never got changed when my nick here got changed from romeyroam. It still links to my profile, it's just never been fixed in that thread.
There is a difference between a recruiter and a site representative btw. They are not mutually inclusive either.

Somebody should really look into that .

Well, I just want to say that with that statement, you imply you are not worth inviting to any trackers. Not everyone here is a trolling, trading, dumbass buttlicker, and to believe such is just daft imo. There are awesome members of quite a few great trackers at FST, and to ignore this place in it's entirety is, while appealing, not necessarily in the interests of any site that is not working on the belief that they have enough members already.
Yes it's harder to trust people here, but not impossible, and sometimes it's not even terribly difficult at that as some folks do not take on a different persona here than they do elsewhere or even in rl.
Re: FST community we need a Recruiters suf-forum
Sure, I primarily ment random 1 post accounts with the "I can has invite pl0x" mentality.

Fair enough, it's just difficult to make that assumption from your first post.
Re: FST community we need a Recruiters suf-forum
nice discussion people.I am reading each new post, and I am proud that this topic get us talking about such topics. This topic for itself, get us close :)
Re: FST community we need a Recruiters suf-forum
Once in a while a real BT topic get a good discussion going on; and this on is good example. There are a lot of level headed people posting in Fst, many of them are members of 'good' trackers and are here not to ask for invite. I would not be wrong to say that the big majority of those frequent posters are already 'there'.
People who come here to just get invite hardly ever post in this section of the forum, and people with the invite to give out know when not to give. I have been here for quite a while and have never start a invite request thread, But I got invited to good tracker via pm inspite of never expressing an intention.
I belive that many staff from trackers that openly hate this site still do check in and read what is going on; they just would not admit it.

depends on the person..
a bunch of staffers from PtN, FSC and even UKT at times, can be seen posting quite often..
Re: FST community we need a Recruiters suf-forum
So far I've seen lots of staffers from good places here.

Not really, your posts are a nice laugh though. Your idea goes against that which is FST. And as far as your main point of the thread, it's dead.:unsure:

I could think of at least three trackers off the top of my head. Any many others hold this place in open contempt, only posting here civilly to offer support or news on their sites.

sure you didn't read this topic at all, so you have your miserable opinion...
give me a break.
and of course you are a trader. I could imagine that before reading one of your last posts.

what's your opinion about that?
let's say, we have some members here in FST that are spread around tracker communities, so I guess this idea could come true.
It's time to improve our community!
How would it differ from the Giveaways section? :huh:

Why would a trader's opinion be less valuable than any random member from this forum?
There isn't much to add to what has been said previously here.
I would just add the part where a place like FST needs to exist, in its actual philosophy, flawed or not. whether some people at some places dislike it, it obviously would always have to happen, as trading and giveaways are allowed here. Whatman explained it very well at another thread recently.
Any people can come here, at any given time, and recruit a member to his site. At every site I'm at actually, and i entered via invitation, was from people at FST. And there was never any official recruiters here.
Having explicit recruiters here would only make members have biased opinions on any given subject, driven to please potential recruiters. And all intellectual discussions wouldn't take place. Just visit TPS, to have an idea about what I'm talking.
The ratio of douchebaggery there has climbed to extremely high levels, beating FST's golden times. This place has evolved a lot since those days, as now I can't think of a harder place to get your request fulfilled, unless you're quite a good fellow. Scrutiny is thorough, by other members, a thing you can't see anywhere else. There, you can only post to say good things and kisses + hugs. Here, if you try to request something with a second intention, you're fucked.
I'll give you a practical example: do you see any other place where a place like FSC is requested so often? no. Why? Because people know their dudes come here more often than not, and actively scourge this place for useful additions. Now imagine how chaotic it would be if there was any official recruiter here. God help them! :ermm:
As for requests, you can see something like 1% being fulfilled (since I'm here, going to 3 years, I can only remember 2). This means that FST's inherent mechanic does work somehow, as many people here get recruited, and it's not via requests. Take this as a good example how things work positively both ways.
Oh, and for those who still didn't get it, filesharing is much more than actively hunting for invites.
Re: FST community we need a Recruiters suf-forum
I do very much enjoy the fact that this is an open forum where there's no (or not much) incentive to suck up to people and good honest interesting discussions can take place - without people partaking in them in order to fulfill an agenda.
I'm of the philosophy that it's better to take the good despite the bad, rather than nothing at all. This place can be *very* useful at times, I like its feel and the dynamic despite its flaws.
