nop you are wrong.The only hypocrisy in TPS is that members pretend they are not collectors when actually they are 100% and also many say they dont care about invites or they are in TPS not for invites when in reality their main purpose is to get Invites
TPS is full of collectors? YES
Traders,Cheaters,Scammers? NO (even if there were any,they would be caught pretty fast.)
Even though it is a community full of collectors (I dont believe collecting is wrong,afterall all those trackers are for people to join and use),the collectors are not there only for invites either.Almost majority of them visit regularly because its fun too.

You should care because like it or not it's one of the ways that people form an opinion of you.
Also I think you misunderstood what I mean by "proving yourself" . People giving ratio proofs or speedtests or even ( in some cases ) a ridiculous number of posts aren't really "proving " anything are they? Not really ,they are simply presenting themselves and it's totally up to any potential inviter to determine if he/she wishes to assume the responsibility of inviting them.
Kinda like how you make friends it's more about the feeling you get from them than anything.
From some people you get that "good feeling" right away and from some no number of ratio proofs ,speedtests or forum posts is ever going to make any difference.

As Idol mentioned, even if you and others believe that grammar shouldn't be determinate of one's worth (a very plausible opinion), no matter what occurs it will always unconsciously affect one's opinion of you. It's almost like a first impression. It's the very first thing a person will notice about you, and we all know that you don't get a second chance to make a first impression. I realize that language barriers may affect people, but it doesn't hurt to make a conscious effort.

And for "proving your worth" ratio proofs and posts are more than meaningless. Anyone can fake a flawless ratio proofs with all the tools and addons out there these days, and post count is simply only a measure of how much free time one has. They are barely any sort of measure of worth.

And even if you do consider it a valid measure, than you are even worse off using it to judge at TPS. Any member that post whores and pretends to act "nicely" to fellow members does it for purely ulterior motives than out of the kindness of the heart. Seeing how that member would act on FST, a site supposedly devoid of invites, is a far more accurate measure of their intentions and worth.

I'd disagree with that. TPS is a forum that's long past it's prime. All of the decent staff have either been banned or left, and most of the decent members have left too. What is left is a veritable wasteland of useless spam and other nonsense. They brag about their number of Community Reps, but they fail to mention that only a small percentage of them are actually active members. As far as I can tell their only reason for continued existence is to keep raking in coin from their "non-profit" seedbox project.

In short... don't waste the time it takes for an interview. There are just as many, if not more, members or staffers of quality trackers right here in this forum who would gladly invite someone who shows that they'd be a quality member.

Biggle/beagle was it?
Like how does one move from sysop to this virility lol.
Believe me am loving every adjective you are throwing at the place but I just cant stop wondering ya know.

And about their seedbox project,well wall.E is a hustla,all his other nicknames revolve around money and wall street.He is witty and he knows how to get what he wants[at least him and I know that lol].So personally I'd be naive to believe that they are running anything that's as dumb as a non-profit seedbox operation.

It looks to me like one is proving to show that he is eligible for what ever he is applying for.even if it dosent prove ones worth,when a person gives profile links/ratio proofs he is proving that he can seed (or buffer :|).When he is showing how active he is,He is trying to prove he is eligible for a "community" based tracker or whatever.
Judging is left to the Inviter in the end and he rejects a person because the other guy hasnt "proved" according to Inviters standards.

Its hard to get that feeling over the net when inviting strangers TBH.If You were to invite someone,what would your criteria be and how will you invite a total stranger without taking into consideration his posts,ratio proofs etc?

I won't give what you consider valid, as the member's privacy here comes first, call it a priority. It's unlike other places where there are even scripts in place to login in any user's accounts to check PMs etc.
I'd say we're too nice people often, as some scum around here truly deserved to have their info passed on to every single tracker out there, but coherency and a commitment to individual privacy comes first.
It's a stance this place values.

We could have done it otherwise and be really popular among tracker population.

Nothing wrong with speaking your mind.Atleast it helps others shape up their opinion as well.

Think about it:If it was not for such posts,would we actually be having this discussion? :naughty:
