[quote=scribble;2261195]that's what you say AFTER you trade for all the accounts you need :dry:
/quote]
I had TL before I started trading, and after the trading, TL still has the same content as my more 'exclusive' trackers. They just make me feel safer. The others I have traded for have a good community feel, which is why I like them. I could easily substitute good forums for any of these.
i said yes too
Lots of ppl who voted NO, either they don't get it why it should be banned or they just don't care.Either way it's bad and this poll won't affect any decision cuz it it's going to be made we won't be looking at the poll results.
btw I voted YES, just to clear some things up.
exactly :)Quote:

as from fst point of view, biggest problem i can see is that newbies get scammed, cheated or busted allot on traded accounts. that's a fact. majority of hipper-buffed accounts are made by cheaters and as said changing ip, country, e-mail and password on account isn't exactly stealthy :)
other question is if fst mods are willing to exchange their policing of scammers with policing threads for account trades. that should be poll for mods :)
i would personally just stick up "BEWARE OF ACCOUNT TRADES" and go out for a beer.
:yup: right, i don't think that's an option :DQuote:

You couldn't be more wrong, however I will suggest that people that think about trackers in terms of rarity will vote no.Quote:

Larger communities have to worry about getting too much attention.
Medium communities generally do open signups for long periods of time and have to deal with the same users cheating and getting back in ect...
Basically every site is differant... but in the long run...
No matter what site is it or how good their staff are...
You either have pissed off users or pissed off staff...
You cant keep everyone happy so let bygons be bygons is a good way to describe how I feel.
We as staff do our thing and you as users do your thing.
Best of luck with getting on some lovely sites however you decide to go about getting on them.
Voted yes.
The thing is this. I came from a community where all of the trading was banned. **************.com. This site was AWESOME at first. The people who came there wanted to be there and there was very little scamming. But after a while, the scamming started. Just like with this sites, registrations were open and people created multiple accounts. People "traded" with themselves to get higher status ranking in the site. People would pretty much do anything they could to cheat. That said, TI had SHITTY admins that did next to nothing to stop any of it.
To create a perfect community that MIGHT, and i say MIGHT, even have the blessing of some of the torrent sites, it needs to be mostly private with open registrations very rarely. It needs to have admins who are not braindead. It needs to have a policy where people MUST donate first before they are able to take. It needs to have a policy where people who do not log in for over a month are kicked and need to get another invite. And it needs to have a system where people who invite multiple cheaters are banned for life.
IF something like that happens, then it would be a great thing. The reason FST is kinda meh, is that it allows account trading. People will buffer their accounts with no respect to the trackers community and then attempt to trade it off for something better. Trading accounts lets people who steal accounts get away with it. Trading accounts lets people scam others. Trading accounts is pretty much exactly what "file sharing" is NOT about.
