Re: If you're a member of X number of trackers you're definitely a collector...
Bilkenter's posts are so confusing :(
Re: If you're a member of X number of trackers you're definitely a collector...
ScT, SCC, TL, TC, What.cd, VortexNetwork, BCG and HDbits.
That's 8. I'm not a collector. I use them all daily, and they all have their exclusive content. However, I could live with ScT alone. It's teh pwnage.

Intersite Relationships matter a lot when you staff, you need to have and to hold a certain presence and be able to talk to other staffers, obviously, just take a look at the VIPs lists of many trackers - most of them are staffers from other sites ;)
True,I noticed the torrent celebrities on gazelle and as you rightly pointed out, VIPS on other sites.:)
The initial doubt I had was the essence of an intersite r'ship and what possible purpose it could serve. Then I thought to myself it could probably help them filter out bad users(sharing IPS,stats etc), recruit good users, share other vital information that could benefit both sites.
And since I'm not a staffer,I can't really argue about the fact that intersite r'ships b/w staff don't matter and I suppose this isn't the right thread for it.
Original post edited again,thanks!
Re: If you're a member of X number of trackers you're definitely a collector...
Yeah I didn't think I'd need to point this out directly, but I staff wheels, a long established tracker, so being on the other respected trackers kinda goes with the territory.
Anyone calling me a "collector" can fuck off quite frankly, it's noobs like blkenter that deter me from posting on FST most of the time.
Get a clue guys. :|
Re: If you're a member of X number of trackers you're definitely a collector...
I just go and disable DuDutchy from BCG :) jk.
as for other staffers on sites that are VIP, they are not on BCG.
reason is 2 fold, Only reason why they should be VIP is so they can view an invite forum (be a higher class then everyone apart from staff so they can keep an eye on it for their trackers), and as we have not got an invite forum anymore, because of complaints from staff on other trackers (which was fair enough, i never liked it anyway), then there is no reason for them to be VIP.
And VIP is a Very Important Person, and that to me says that they go above and beyond what they should be doing on the tracker in question.
not sign up, send a PM to a staff member, say im staff on XXX site, can i be VIP please because thats what we do on our tracker.
If they want to be VIP then there is nothing stopping them, but they have to show they are a good member of BCG and deserve it, but lets be honest, most staff are staff on other trackers (for some reason i cant understand, i have my hands full just with BCG) so they dont have time to be a good member of BCG, so we never notice them never mind promote them to VIP.

Most can't make their mind up after 30 days and not a chance in a million can you do it after 30 mins, it is only when you are comfortable with your tracker and their members and the staff and taking time to getting to know who fits where & why will anyone decide if that tracker is right for them.
There are many facets to trackers, some like the all round experience, some like the well seeded torrents, some like the rare torrents, some like the pre-times of torrents, some are good friends of staff or know the members very well but the torrents are not what they want.
Everybody is different, some are level chasers , some are hype chasers, some are just plain nosey and for everyone of them there is an equal opposite, so what, stop butting in on threads and leave to their own devices and let them find out for themselves, it has nothing to do with someone that gets banned as much as you do from trackers, others may have a totally different outlook and do very well thank you.
I dont think you are right here to say that even 30 days is not enough to make your mind. I dont agree because there are people who look for rare stuff, well seeded torrents and etc. Not everybody is looking for a community here. If it was only community, you are right in 1 day or 30 minutes, it might not be possible to have an absolute idea about community on the tracker, However, they will have a general idea of how active forums are, and members relationship with each other, staff attitude against others etc. This is why, those who are looking for community might have a general idea of tracker about forums, radio, irc etc in one day if not 30 minutes. if they are looking for rare stuff and such, I think they can easily make their minds about the tracker itself. How? There will be new torrents everyday which will help them decide whether those are rare, well seeded or etc. When they do, then they can decisively look for an invite to that tracker which they think fits to their needs.
Ps: time may change, i am not here to prove that 30 minutes here, i am only here to state that sufficient amount of time may help people make their minds.

i think everybody has the right to join as many trackers, communities and download ressources as he wants to.
it happens so often that i can find a movie or a cd only on that tracker at all or in the desired quality. then i'm glad that i'm a member there. let it be only one movie per month for a certain tracker. who cares?
i rather have too much warez ressources to choose from than too little.
of course i deleted some accounts and lost some due to inactivity too. i refused invitations to at least 10 trackers over the past few month. some of them are sought-after by many.
i'm a member on the best sites and i'm very thankful for this.
today we have an oversupply of content and speed. especially when it comes to scene releases. leeching was never easier even with slow home connections. to choose where and when to download the latest movies in high quality is pure luxury. this luxury is based on the variety of trackers i have.
it really could be worse ....
as sgtmajor said, why is it of anyone's concern to how much internet sites somebody signs up?
the word "collector" brought in as an accusation is often used by those who assume the other has more than he needs or deserves. enviousness is one reason for this allegation.
one shouldn't tell people what and how many sites they need. it's their individual decision.
p.s.
/me is looking forward to the day when bilkenter regrets his dark past and wants to join ftn or fsc.

I agree with this. Each tracker may have something that all of the other tracks you belong to do not. In this case, I'd be very happy at my decision to have quite a few trackers. If it turns out you don't need a tracker that you have, then it your account will simply be disabled for inactivity, and you'll be free to go. It's like a "rather safe than sorry" thing; you never know when a particular tracker may come in handy.
P.S. :lol::lol::lol:

All I can say is, transparency at its very best!
I also had the same doubt of how a mod/admin can moderate his site and yet be an active member of umpteen torrentsites. But like you said they're probably stagnant at the sites they don't moderate.

Couldn't help pointing out, but you could always ignore the users that deter you.
