trackes that forbid giveaway

That is why i do not have rep points...Oh well! No giveaways here nor invites!
Trades-are lame! Being respectful n working your way up here and @ your tracks! Love giveaways myself but seems not right. Think of the person who invited you, then your invitee is their responsibility too, who wants that on their back? Half of em get your invites taken by acting up-trading-ect! If we can signup anyone can including your track mods so-? Lol.

Those that do not engage in trading, Giveaways are the only way we non traders-cheaters can get a invite to some places so it sucks that it is that way but i respect it.Some members here are great people. Plus this forum is more than invites and giveaways. There is a lot of other threads.:fst:
If people measure trusted users by req-asking for a free invite (once in a while.) in a giveaway-and say they are not good members cause of is-:angry:

The reason why most trackers don't allow giveaways and what not is because it's a standard built on the belief that most people are idiots that don't know who to invite and what not. Like I said, this is a standard that you'll see posted on 80% of trackers because they use the same faq/rules . Here on FST alot of people are educated torrenters and should be treated so unless they've proven otherwise. If you are a go by the book person then don't do giveaways, let them sit in your account to rot. You'll have friends but your friends probably won't be noobs and won't need your invites. Some general rules are a little too general. If you always followed them then you wouldn't be torrenting.

I must agree with Benchez. I made 1 or 2 giveaways, a complete failure, huge disappointment.
3/4 of invites I gave are unused and some users banned for cheating... I said: no more.
Now I give invites but to people I choose and in a private way.

I realized -and please, don´t misunderstand me, I´m refering to the act not to the person, and I know some of those giveaways are with the only desire of help (I respect every position)-, that giveaways are, many of them, a huge irresponsibility and a disrespect to the trackers.

I personally like giveaways (although i do respect trackers, i always ask for permission to do giveways and most staff know and trust me to be responsible) because they help those of us who dont trade. I know what some of you are probably thinking.... He just wants invites, but the truth is i dont want/need anymore invites. I am just here to help people who were in the same position i was a few months ago.

If you are responsible and carefl in your giveaways i think it actually benefits the communities. A good user is a good user regardless of where he came from.

That being sad i think we should never generalize anything. I respect everyone's opinion and I am just offering mine :)

A lot of the time the person you invite will be a bad user, and some of the time will get you in trouble too.
If you are after rep.points then realise this:
Users with rep.points are not trusted by tracker staffers as a general rule.
Most of the members here with high-rep points are children who play the level game.
