Re: Rep Points... Do they really Matter
Ive always pictured this subject like this:
If you give away a certain invite, whether its allowed on that tracker or not, your simply doing it for the mere generosity of giving another person a chance.
Sure, you could be warned, have your invites taken away, or possibly even banned. However, you give it away regardless of the possible outcomes, just for the fact that your helping out your fellow man.
I've always pictured this subject to be, in a way, sort of like saving a persons life. A friend, family member, maybe even a mere acquaintance is near death, and needs a kidney. You have 2 of them, fully functioning, and perfect for the aforementioned person. However, there is that chance that something bad could happen if you were to give him/her your kidney. You could get a disease (Warn), you could, after the operation, have a massive kidney failure with the one kidney you have left (Invites Removed), or.... you could die (Banned). However, you take the risk regardless, just to help out your fellow man.
Now, there are definitely a few flaws with my comparison, for instance, your possible invitee is in nowhere near a situation of dieing because he/she hasn't received the tracker they want. (I guess you could say if they wanted it enough, that they could be dieing of anticipation), but regardless... in a way, the 2 scenarios are alike.
I myself do the best I can to obey any and all tracker rules and requests. I do not invoke myself to trade, but I do however giveaway my invites to those that I know could use them and respect them, regardless of what could happen to me.

i agree with this and respect that.
i still have a whole bunch of high level invites, because i won't break those rules.
i was only getting a little upset, because i know fazzy from the start of his bittorrent career. he helped me out a lot - and i tried to help him as well.
don't take it personal. i didn't mean to offend you.

DV8type > You have opened my eyes to something that is quite obvious but I failed to notice. So THANKS for enlightening me.
I am a FireFighter by occupation for the last 14 years. When I answer the call for help, I go in knowing that its my job. I get gratification knowing that I have helped someone doing my job and I do it expecting nothing in return. Who knows, I may loose my life in the process but that part of the dangers of the job.
I will do more to abide by the rules of the trackers from which I belong to and in the future I will continue to help others and not expect anything but my own gratification of knowing that I have helped as I have done in real life.
FSC will come one day, as it has come to others. In the mean time, the heck with rep points. I'll help my fellow man just cause I can.

Re: Rep Points... Do they really Matter
If someone goes out of their way to send your dumb ass an invite the least you can do is give them what amounts to a pat on the back for their energy and faith. Its all too common for some humans to pillage the gratuity of others through what is basically social engineering and not say thank you. Sick shit in my opinion.
