Re: Would you accept somebody else's tracker account?
this is true and while i've never turned down high level invites i honestly could see myself doing so for trackers i felt no need to have. What i can say tho is that not every1 who said they wouldnt has been in this situation and has access to what you may...
its always easier to say no when you know that wont be your only chance but for some1 who may not have been around as long or has been looking for something for a while and just never networked well enough to get it what are they truly going to do? they are going to say no in a thread like this to look good but is it an honest no?
personally i've always gotten what i wanted and even more without having to trade or accept accounts etc but i consider myself fortunate and have seen that not all have had my good fortune...
consider also that many trackers have rules against open giveaways... would you also deny an invite through one of these as they are also against the rules(not towards just ringhunter)
But yeah with the nick thing personally mine has changed until i've settled on one recently that i like and it isnt the same as here... so i guess i cant understand that sentiment but if i was more active in forums and community on my trackers i guess this would be more important

If he truly believes he no longer has a use for the account, asking for an invite when he can give the former away... it's still breaking the tracker's rules, though.
Re: Would you accept somebody else's tracker account?
I wouldn't mind.Initially when i was looking for a TT invite,i spoke to these guys from India,who aren't even active out there and don't even love trance music,Infact have no idea about any Trance artists,labels,gigs etc.
In other words they are just collectors.So whats the harm if i use the tracker,coz that tracker would be of very good use to me.

I have never been turned down if I asked the staff and gave a good reason for an invite request, although that's only happened once so far. :shifty:
I really doubt that many staff are too anal to say yes.

And up until this point I actually thought you'd been around bt for a while.:mellow:
Also specifics or it didn't happen.
And to answer the thread question,no mainly because strangely I put the value of my personal identity above that of being on any bt tracker.
Not that it's an especially good identity mind you but over the years I've sort of become attached to myself.

I never said I've been around BT for years, mostly I've been on and off with the whole thing, according to what provides me the best source of content I'm looking for. Past couple of years it's been BT.
As for the specifics, I'll send it to you over PM if you really want it. It's not that it shouldn't be public, it's just because there's a huge background story for the request, about why my request was so "special" etc. and I still got it.
I'm dying to know what tracker staff would say no if you courteously asked them. A friend asked HDBits for me, and within an hour, two admins offered her an invite for me. Another friend (Garbonzo out here) asked the TT staff for two invites (first never got to my email inbox) and got both, the second of which I used. I really don't see how any tracker staff could turn down a dedicated member's courteous request.

You didn't originally specify by saying "dedicated member's courteous request " in which case you are probably right .
In the context of both your original post and this thread I assumed it was a request made by someone who was not a member.Besides that I wasn't really being serious although I am now when I say that the fact your friend being female certainly didn't decrease the chances of success.:whistling
Also the specifics remark was again largely in jest,although now with your admittance to getting onto 2 other "closed" trackers I have to admit my curiosity is piqued.
You sometimes I wish I had interests other the just plain old movies and TV so I could be on some of these cool trackers.:cry:
Kidding again if it wasn't apparent.

It's totally dependent on both the site and the request. I've seen it happen before and I've done it myself (on sites where invites are closed I've requested an invite from the staff). However I've always been on really good terms with one of the staff members... I wouldn't feel that comfortable if I didn't have any prior background with them, even if I was a decent member of the site.
I've also seen it fail, in some cases rather spectacularly. This is why you make your request via PM rather than a public IRC channel ;)
