I hate media propaganda. News is just propaganda to scare people. Which makes them even listen more, its sick.
The worst recent issue was the swine flu, they had people so damn scared, they would have did anything.
I could go on for ages but I'll spare everyone.
F'in manipulating the masses.
If you watch tv.... your under control :P
Could be a worthy topic for later.
Fucking oath.Quote:

There are better examples that illustrate my point but I can't be arsed trawling though all those old threads. I'll just say that there are plenty of sellers (just as there are staff) on FST and when they get caught they get banned...that's the rules of this board for as long as I've ever been a member ffs he got caught and now he's sorry...I bet he's sorry.
That guy actually sold the invite, where as I didn't. Also he sold on this site, my post was on a forum called torrentinvites (censored now?)Quote:

Lol I read through the post and that guy is crazy.
He sold 60 accounts on ebay, bought 1,000 friends on myspace (epic failure), and then tried to say that selling it was donations lol.
*hey stoi:)
Yes, people are normally banned for being known invite sellers, but this case has a couple of differences. The first, is that he never went through with the sale. And second, this kid was willing to take his lumps from the FST community- and he has. Most would just accept their ban and move on.
This case is largely about making a dumb move. He will be punished for that long-term. He won't be invited anywhere. Everyone is aware of his story. If he is ever bold enough to request an invite here, I am absolutely CERTAIN that cine and Cabalo will remember this long after the kid gets his 5th star. Anyone who invites him will be risking their accounts. The mods certainly don't want him on their sites. Like the kid, or not, I am not going to stick my neck out that far. Who would?
I am sympathetic to the kid because he has been willing to go through this thread AND he took time to help other members before all this happened. That to me gives him (just) enough credibility. Would someone have my sympathies if they had been successful in selling an invite? Probably not. If they had not helped other members here prior to "getting caught"? No.
Regardless of the outcome, his freedoms here are very limited. He'll get to read and make posts.
TVCY is probably the closest thing we have here to a "registered sex offender". The community knows of his "attempt" and that he is unlikely to be a repeat offender. We'll keep an eye on him and limit his access to things that could lead him to trouble.
Oh gtfo...
what's wrong with you lot. So he's willing to take his lumps from the fst community...well if his IP hadn't already been passed around like a two dollar whore then I would say that's the lumps he needs to take.
HE MADE A POST OFFERING TO SELL AN INVITE. You don't do that by accident and you don't do that as a newb. You do it as a player. That's what this guy is...and well if he isn't and an repentant gets killed, then so be it. Better safe than sorry and have someone like that lurking around.
He could have 100 dupe accounts. Don't be fooled. When you've been around torrenting for a while you'll know what I mean. If it smells fishy then it is fishy...this is the internet ffs there is no REAL proof you have to go with your gut.
So just to end this...I would GB you in a second if it hadn't already happened.
how the fuck is selling an invite different from cheating like that anon-sbi guy lmfao

Unless somebody provides more links or screenies of him actually being a seasoned seller then I think the one screenie that is available doesn't hold and still qualifies for an error in judgement in the manner that he's explained it.
Nobody is saying he shouldn't be globally banned, either. I assumed that would happen as soon as this thread was started. This is about his (very limited use) of FST.
To continue with my "sex offender" analogy...everyone knows about him AND now it is known that he is not allowed to go near school or playgrounds. He's been castrated and put on public display. As long as he continues to use the same name, we will all know his story.
Considering all that HAS come about from this, his membership here is fairly moot. What's he going to do, corrupt the Lounge members? Post scandalous comments in the "News" section? Spread his anti-Fox News propaganda?
As for the "Player" moniker, I think he has shown that he sucks at keeping a low-profile. He got busted trying to sell his first "joint". Pimp got beat up by his first Ho. Gangster forgot to load his Glock. Thug tried to take an old lady's purse and got maced.
We cold only hope that all wanna-be's werre so inept. :lol:
I believe in second chances.

I agree you are right on that one, Idol. I have made a few posts regarding my twins with the assumption that my friends here would see the posts. When I talk to them via PM later they apparently did not see the posts because they all ask the same question- "do you know what you are going to have". I have posted that in 2 or three threads.
So maybe the disabled privs is the way to go. It will keep him from the BT areas and keep people from contacting him via PM.
Or we could just stamp "child rapist" on his avy and not let him change it. :D
If everyone read what I would have said the vote would be different too. Also I am not trying to do anything slick, so I would gladly link to this thread in my signature or maybe as stated before change my title.Quote:

I have never heard of that before, sez. What is it? I assume someone has the same user name that I do.
You got me curious.
yeah its a nick match :).He is a mod on that legendary warez board.Quote:

At least he's not an infamous trader/seller or psychopath. :)
People can make mistakes. But everybody must to learn a lesson from mistakes. I want to beleive TVCY will never do this again.:ermm:
the kid sold invites and tried to apologize on fst a forum which has a special section for users to trade invites lmfao im crying lolol
still? =/
Thats the spirit, at least the op gave you a good chuckle and cheered you up. ;)Quote:

At the darkest perception of my incident I attempted to sell an invite, which I believe is alot different than selling an invite and receiving money.Quote:

But in all reality selling is happening on this forum
Take a look, he is willing to offer more "steams" lol.Quote:
Steam accounts to Trade for invites/accounts
Reason Im trading this is because I no longer play css,1.6 ect Ive had steam uninstalled for awhile now lols. Anyways the games on the account are
Steam account 1 Games: Half Life 2, Counter Strike Source, Hl2M HL2 LostCoast, Hl2 episode 1 & episode 2, TeamFortress 2
Steam account 2 Games: cs,hl2,cz
If you want proof ill up some screens both accounts are not vac banned and legit. pst in this thread with offers or pm me..
Only after these trackers : PolishTracker, IPLAY, Waffles What.cd, FTN(can offer more steams for this) & SCC
steam is just a way of converting money into an account that can be traded, and then resold for money.
If those "steams" aren't enough he is willing to get more (most likely buy another account)
So if I wanted to "trade" for an ftn invite I would spend $100 dollar in steams then come to the trading forum??? Selling Incognito
Seer I'd like to hear your thoughts on such trades, as you seem like a straight forward guy.
The banned option wins by nine posts. :pinch:

Or 44% want you to get out, 21% want you to stay with severe reservations, and 36% want you to stay.
Don't try to skew the results :dabs:
The question poses a hidden bias as there are two questions for me to stay, where as there is only one to be kicked. Therefore it spreads out the votes of people who want me to stay, giving me a disadvantage in a sense.
Although I would have to say that people who voted for me to stay, would also vote for me to stay with disabled privileges.
And don't forget the part where some people that voted for you to stay have gone on record saying that they wished they had voted no originally.
You could also say that those who voted that you could stay with disabled privs would have voted that you get out if disabled privs wasn't an option.
To MBM: I think he's referring to the fact that steam accounts have an inherent monetary value, and can be "resold" for value. Then again, with that logic trading is "selling" as well because, as you said, you can donate to receive invites, then "sell" them back and regain the monetary value. You could go even further and claim that all trades are "selling" items as inherently all trades attach monetary values to items in order to ensure that all the users benefit from said trade.
Most likely however those are phished accounts that will probably get retrieved or disabled soon after the trade. Their "value" is next to nothing and I really wouldn't consider them to be of any "worth". Up to semantics I guess.
If you had looked closer, then you would know that only 36% want you, 20% want you with disabled privileges, and 43% want you out.Quote:

yes thats 56% that want me to stayQuote:

And notice that none of those auctions have bids on them. A quick couple of searches in google can do wonders, steam accounts are worth dirt as they are filled with phished, VAC disabled, disabled, or retrieved accounts. And that isn't negligent to the point, they aren't worth anything because of that, and as such don't have a monetary value.Quote:

And for just as many people that would turn from "stay" to "disabled privs", just as many people would turn from "disabled privs" to "get out". Either way, you can't spin the data like that.
W.e about the vote, lets discuss this selling issue. Its not my position to say how the administration judges the poll.Quote:
