Best idea a tracker ever had?

I have not tested this but that should be very easy to do.

Just remove 1 line from the top of browse.php (or any other page you want them to see)

loggedinorreturn();

and then anyone can view it, even if they try to download a torrent, they cant as they will not have a passkey.

But i think you will find that most trackers prefer not to let just anyone view what they have, which is the reason, as far as i am aware, only this tracker actually does it.

and if you mean a guest account, like i have an account, that will be easy as well.

just create an account and tell ppl the user/pass, (keyword for us) stop them from downloading/uploading/posting etc etc, and just let them sign in with it.

Which tbh i have never even thought of before until now lol

And it may stop 1000s of members joining up and never using their account, if they can see what it is like first.

PS: In answer to the ops question, and everyone knows what i am going to say. SP mod with our Hit and Run system, to me we cant have one without the other.

I like to see a tracker where members can earn bonus from downloading and not just seeding. Combine that with some form of h&r rules; it can increase the trackers' activities.

As would I. This was actually brought up on another track. Hopefully the staff took notice and will implement such a system. This would be a fresh new way to promote more leeching.

I can't remember which tracker it is, but it uses total traffic, that encourages leeching. :ermm:

Probably the most logical reason for a tracker to implement this feature.Its no need for people to sign up to trackers only to find out they aren't anything close to their tastes(happened to me with extremebits somebody told me it was a music tracker),a guest account for test driving sounds like a good feature.Though i figure with trackers inclination towards being mysteries this is highly unlikely to take off.
A little offtopic but does anybody know what these sites are all about?

You may be referring to perome; which use total traffic rather that down/up ie ratio, but give credit only to seeding but not dl.

Never heard of perome. Must be another tracker I'm referring to. :P
