ok lets trade BCG invites to some anti piracy organisation as stoi don't mind ;)
we give invite to anti piracy organisation and they give us nice money thats an good offer and stoi don't mind that we traded his site invites to anti piracy organisation ^^
lol
they probably dont need one, they are more than likely already in, same with 99% of trackers out there.
tbh i am probably one of the most lenient on this, of all trackers.
if you do it and we catch you, you get banned, but if i see you do it, i am not going to go chasing you all over the net to find out who you are.
so there is a chance you can get away with it, a lot of other trackers are a hell of a lot more strict than i am, they will hunt you down till the ends of the earth to find you.
but again, i dont want this to go offtrack to BCG again, which always seems to happen, this is about FST and their trade section.
Hmm I'm against any kind of trading, invites or accounts, IMO if you want to get into a site then proof that you are a good user and that's when you get offered an invite, not trading it with someone you don't know anything about.Quote:

The thing you should be thinking about with trading etc it puts a load of work on the staff and by doing so it puts other members accounts at risk, time spend looking for traders etc is time lost trying to improve the site, security wise etc.
so before you go saying there is nothing wrong with trading, think again,
To be clear this is not something I can just do. in fact it takes a whole lot more access than I have. I just wanted to see where the members stood on it. If it was something a large majority wanted I could bring it up and see.
anyone who expected something else doesn't know fst ;)Quote:

I think it might be good to get rid of the trading section. Even though I have traded occasionally, trading invites is not *that* important to me - and if there were no FST trading section I wouldn't even bother to try to trade.
I voted for it to go
It will stop a lot of good peeps going down the wrong path and getting banned at trackers.
Would be a good move for FST
I voted that the trading section should be removed. Many people, including myself, are "afraid" to be very active here because with the trading section, this place has got a very bad name "out there". I think that it would be a step towards the right direction! :)
Guilty by association nice.Tyrants everywhere approve.Quote:

But you are wrong when you say I said nothing wrong with traders
FST can't live without invite forums (both sections)
If a staff doesn't want to waste his time, he can do as BCG, FSC & FTN staff
Come here, help his users, become a community rep, fixed
I don't care, that should have probably been an option. I'm sure most people that don't care are going to choose "yes" anyway, since it causes drama
also, i think *************s has a worse rep than this place, but just my opinion.
Just my 2 cents mate, I am not offending anyone. But seriously, don't you think that FST has got a bad name in trackers forums etc? I know many people stigmatized just because they are active posters here... :(Quote:

I can't believe someone would actually be hesitant of being active at one site because he is afraid of what another site will think/do to him.
to be honest it should have been gone a long time ago if you are going off what the majority thinks. the consensus around here for a long time has been that the trading section is a cancer and the types of members it brings are the types of members that drive all the good people away. thats why i dont get this poll, it's been known for a long time around here yet it hasnt moved and i doubt this poll will do anything to change that. i hope this is some sort of poll where the opinions around here are taken seriously but judging from past actions of those in charge here i very much doubt it.
I doubt that! Not if they are not trading or breaking that certain trackers rules. No offense meant either but FST is a big part of the members of most BT sites. The trading section is non existent already to some members, most who frequent that section will just take it somewhere else. Seems to show those who chose to do giveaways who NOT to trust with a invite. Also i do think there are FAR worse trading forums, forget a section! Selling invites on certain forums is even worse!
Will never going to be easy to stop all this. They will migrate as all have said and others could put sites at a higher risk? Never know?
If they trade, maybe?Quote:

I once thought it wasn't that serious but changed my view on it after a few friends explain to me why its so bad & I'm in total agreement.
Yes please get rid of it.
I think in the first 2-3 days people will make trade request in this section or the giveaway section untill they finally realise that there's no hope and have to leave.
Get rid of it. For a good helping community, trading is definitely not a good thing.
Everybody cries about trading all day, it's the cause of the end of the world... Trading is like murder around here, might as well get rid of it. No point in keeping it. I guess as of now, it seems to me more like a measure of sifting out "bad" users from "good" ones.
This thread is still alive??
If you happen to believe that there is a chance of the trading section being removed, take another look at this post. The best post in this whole thread...

I've checked out a few threads in the trading section, and most of the posts the traders do are bumps and listing what they have and what they need.
I don't think the activity on filesharingtalk will drop that much if it was removed, all what would be gone is the endless bumping. :D
In fact I think this place will become even more active if it was removed.
It's a shame that loads of people avoid this place just because some trading is going on here in the bittorrent section.
I bet most members here has never checked out the other sections except for the bittorent one. I suggest everyone to check out the other ones too, and you will see that this place is quite a nice community.
Yes please get rid of it.
Yes, get rid of it. Please. Or atleast try to close it down for a month or so, see what it will do to this forum.
I happen to think that is completely irrelevant. You think traders come here for any other reason than to trade? Almost none of them have a significant post amount outside of the trading section. Besides, don't you think a chunk of these "users" are just alternate accounts after a trade gone wrong? They really don't represent a big portion of the users on the entire site.Quote:

I think most members miss the whole point of joining a site like this , you join follow the few rules we have and go nuts .
Its Filesharing plain and simple , who gives a fuck if two people what to share an invite or trade for one . Its not something I like but I'll get over it as should most bed wetters on here . Before this site came about , there was a site called Fosi , do you think he cared who sent a lnk or complained if others got credit ? Nope he just kept hosting his site , got to admire it .
Traders ,or those that believe in trading. I doubt would vote yes or maybe you are right and they would as they got screwed or something of the sort?
still have to say the majority would probably vote no if this was a real poll to get rid of the trade section. Dupe accounts. I don't know?
No let it stay!!!
I think that I was misunderstood. I don't say that everyone who is active poster here is also a trader, that is simply not true. I just say that because of the trading section, this place, has got a bad reputation in many other places, and in trackers' forums among others. I believe that if t got removed, this place would be much better and , that's it! :)
why compare this with scl?Quote:
