Despite what you see on FST these days, you should be aware that plenty of traders are cordial and intelligent. The smart ones don't get caught as often, so they're more rarely seen.
I was actually implying he was probably staff there, but I could see the other side of the argument too.
One of the most ironic things I've read here :PQuote:

It's not difficult even without a program or written list. For each password you could even have a standard password followed by a suffix which is relevant to the site. for example say you use demonoid and fst. Your standard password could be "toor" and your suffix's be sft and dem, so each pass would be toorfst and toordem.Quote:

I'm just trying to give an example. :)
Ultimately it is a mildly safer middle ground than using a single password and a nice alternative to using a program, although personally that it what I would use if you want to be as safe as possible.
Funny as those threads were only locked, but since the sales take place via PM anyway so long as the threads exist with the offers and prices users can still make their same transactions. :whistlingQuote:

Ok. Even though this is my first post here, I've been reading FST articles for a long time now. But this thread. I just had to reply to. I can see that most of you are so full of "it". Face it.We are all pirates. The moment we got that tag, we're already a citizen in the scum world. What are those btracs guys doing that we as pirates are not? Face it, we started the whole shit just to get stuff for free. So why should there be any restrictions to who does what? I've been a member of btracs till a few months ago. And I know most of the members and staff there. Every single guy on the staff is as good as any of you guys. And as far as security goes, well, my account never got broken into. And as chrisbeebops said about the Black Hallways or whatever it is called now, it was not meant to be a secret place for more trading. It was a place meant for the good users of btracs to stay safe from scammers and even scummier people. And I can without any shame say that I was banned at btracs just for being friends with a scammer,even though I miss going back here, I'm not worried coz, they banned me thinking that I might cause a problem to the other members of btracs, just coz I was friends with a scammer. This is how much they care about their members. But of course if you start viewing that forum through the eyes of prejudice, you'll never get my point.
Through the eyes of prejudice?! Try being lectured by their more idiotic members on how "powerful" they are, try seeing how many of their members (no wait, read up in this thread) think that having "high level trackers" necessitates them also receiving respect, and try watching a bunch of them argue day and night about how it's a solid community for the love of bt (for the love of crying out loud), then all of them proceed to quit or hide underground in order to continue trading/selling. Do you honestly hold a modicum of respect for a torrent that finds value in members that start "The elite traders club"?Quote:

Riddle me this: For a forum full of good people, they surely didn't seem too venerable or patient when dealing with your case. So much for a community of level-headed individuals, huh? They wouldn't need to be weary of people cheating them, while they cheat the torrenting community at large, while we cheat society, if they didn't start a hive (swarm reference) full of douchebag cheaters in the bloody first place.
Let me put it into proper perspective for you: This is a crooked rotten world, where people name drop their own selves in third person while demanding power, where you're more likely to hear "do you know who I am", rather than "please", and where thieves figure out that they have the chance of stealing from other thieves (as is happening with btracs/traders/this thread). Sure, we're all pirates. However, if by the eyes of society we're scum, as you say, then, by virtue of hierarchy, what should we call the scum of our social denomination?
What level is BTRACS? :lol:
Seriously, though, not much can surprise me anymore. This hasn't. Thank god I only used their site without ever checking the forums.
I'm not saying you are wrongQuote:

And we're all guilty of stealing. How can we blame some of those people who took it to the next level?
With reference to your post:
1.I have never seen anyone in btracs, while I was there, bragging about how powerful they are or the level of trackers they have. And about demanding respect. Well, staff is there for a reason. I don't see why anyone should disrespect them while at their forum. And as for members, I've seen braggarts and l33t get their asses kicked out for the same reason. And before making such a statement, please make sure you have some evidence to support it.
2. About the cheating riddle. As far as I can see, btracs or any other trading/selling forum is only doing to trackers, what trackers are doing to the society and artists. So, its nothing to make a fuss about. In simple words, its just like robbing Robin Hood right after he robs the rich. I'd call them smart or clever.
I respect them because, except for the few nuts in there who are crazy about trading and selling, I've seen, met and am still in contact with some of the members who has never even visited the Trade/Sell section of the forum. And those people amounts to 80% of the active members now. I've seen more people posting in Requests/Giveaways than the Trade/Sell section. Which makes me wonder if its the same forum we're talking about.

We have all been using the Internet for a long time. I would think by now it is common sense that no password is safe in a forum because you don't know who encrypts there user databases or not and I would have to say the same goes for the trackers themselves.
they are filthy fucks at btracks
