because all power users got invites and they increased max number of users to 6k, don't really understand the logic behind it since Power Users could request invites and were often given them, but...
elitism
lol , they increased it only 1k more!
ScT increased it 3k more , and it was 12k!
also you can still buy ScT invites , a lot traded it , a lot still have them
but FTN! , I don't think someone is going to put his account under risk
while a lot of spies going around here!
and see how many accounts gonna disable in the next few days and weeks
they will catch almost all of the ones who traded their accounts!
and I think only a small number of people on FTN are traders
so think , should it be level 8!:S
I think it has to go to level 9 atm :)
abolish the rating system
Amen to that, I think the rating system hurts this site in the end.
to me a FTN account is worth a TL but since the rating system has come around People have became pigs and take all they can. I saw somone wanted to trade a SweDVD with 200 gig buffer plus some other buffered accounts for one dam FTN invte. what a shock he is going to get:dabs:
this goes for many other sites too.
Seriously who cares about the rarity system. If trackers were rated on how good they are then trackers like UK-T or FTWR would not be so rare.
The problem I see now is that the rarity rating system has allowed pretty much anyone that has very rare trackers to obtaioned all the others. So anyone that would have very rare trackers gave a lot to obtain those and now has them all haha.
But yeah if it wasn't because of rarity rating systems some tarckers would not be so rare because people would have no problem giving up their rare crappy trackers for really good trackers.
The reason why some people hold on to rare trackers is because they are waiting for that insane offer they can't resufe which is very well buffered trackers. This might be the wrong section to discuss this but I also think that a lot of reviews need to be re-done because they really don't tell the truth about the trackers. With real reviews people would think before trying to trade for rare trackers.
For example if TL would have been rated much higher because of how good it's; it would not have such a huge user database and even though PU gets 4 invites a week they would not be giving away invites like candi.
No many people would have interest in UK-T or FTWR if the rating system was about how good a tracker really is. Therefore because these trackers would not get much attention they would be forced to open signups or increase the user database and give out invites.
saulin i agree with the main idea but u said so many things that aren't realistic..
trackers dont give a f**k about rating system and wont open signups because they are rated low, u cant make a list that combine rarity&quality because it wont work u need to choose between them and some people will always trade whats rare and not whats good for them
I think trackers should be rated solely on how good they are, meaning the amount and quality of torrents community and staff and not how hard they are to obtain.this rating system has gotten out of control. I have trackers all the way from one to nine but you know what! I use my three's and fours more than my nine's and ten's.
it just gets on my nerves to the point I go other places to do my trading!
Edit: so I have decided to start my own tracker with only 200 members and 50 torrents my goal is to reach level 10 maybe level 12:P you think I can make it:w00t:
first, theres many other and better ways except of trading :P
as much as i hate seeing people offering their first born for torrent sites i dont think that changing the wiaw thread will change people requests for their accounts but no one cant predict that and if the mods think it might work then ill be the last person to go against it :D
live and let live and respect to everyone:happy:
I think Trackers Level System should be base in: speed+content+pretime+rarity
I think its fair and its possible.
I think it should be only speed+content+pretime, not rarity
this rarity bull shit has made people think.. "well I have a shitty level 10 tracker I never use but since its the rarest I'm going to sell it to the highest bitter, and thats unfair to people who don't know any better:dabs:
EDIT: @ hungdob
I understand where you coming from but a change in the WIAW system could promote tracker site staff to get there asses in gear so they can make it to the top and be the best site out there. there of coure will lengthy discussens about how this tracker is better than that but its up to the staff here at FST
i believe that a change in the wiaw thread could only help this place but im sorry to blow your bubble, trackers staff will prefer not to be mentioned and fst so people wont trade account/invites to their sites and keep it only for people who deserve it and have close community
agree to saulin
I'm at work lol. Well the reason why UK-T or trackers like FTWR stay closed is because they have lots of people interested in them and therefore the comunity stays at the same level. However if no one gave a shit about them because they really aren't worth much. The staff would need to open registrations or give more vinvites and up the user limit. It's the users that keep trackers alive.
And the only reason there is huge demand for them is because they are rare. Not because they really are worth more than some Lvl 2-3 trackers.
Trackers ARE rated my friend according to how good they are...
Have you noticed a small number 9 besides TL? TL[9]
Yes, it gets 9/10 as far as content concerned... :rolleyes:
Trackers are rare for a certain reason. Rarity is based on how hard it is to get an invite and not because of a silly FST rating system...
When there are 4invites given to every PU on TL how would you expect to be as rare as UK-t, where there are no invites at all for months?
Don't jump into conclusions... Not all people think like you.
Not all people are traders and holding a rare tracker to trade it afterwards.
And the reviews ARE telling the truth, because there are also ratings according to content, pre-times etc
Do you really believe what you are saying?
Do you think that if TL was rated as level10 in rarity, people wouldn't giveaway their invites?
It is as easy to get invites there as candy my friend...
Have you ever uploaded over 200GB to be able to ask for 1invite? Then you would appreciate the invite I think much more that you do now...
Do you really think that a tracker gives a shit about the FST ratings? All they care is their safety.
Others care less about safety, like TL, and other much more such as UK-t.
Do you think that Uk-t would open signups to gain your attention or because it would fall deliberately from level10 to level1? :frusty:
200 gb is nothing really. While the rating system isnt perfect it goes by the trackers rarity, because thats a ranking of how hard it is to get into. Do you believe if the system was based on quality, uk-t or FTWR invites would magiclly float your way ?
The best tracker are in level 8. Level 9 and 10 sucks.
Pluto I totally agree with you.
Everyone has a chance to read a review of all trackers and judge if he really needs the content of UK-t with the bad rating they have.
If you are happy with your TL stay with it and don't care about the others who want a rare invite for self gain, curiosity, trade or whatever.
The only rating that counts for tarders is the rarity rating and most people going to the invite section are traders. believe me :)Quote:

FST is the biggest tracker trading site most likely and the rarity system has a huge impact on trading here. And this site makes some trackers even more rare with their reviews and by giving some trackers high ratings in rarity. My point here was not wether TL should be rated higher because it's rare. It should be rated higher because it's one kick ass tracker. the rarity rating system should just disappear so people can really see the true value of trackers.Quote:

Yes I do think some trackers actually give a shit about FST rating system. And if it wasn't because of this site that makes UK-T seem like the ultimate tracker I'm sure that UK-T would feel the need to give invites :)Quote:

What I'm saying is to get rid of this level-rarity thing and just have levels based on seeder and torrents Only were not saying someone could get into FTN easier but it would mean people would not sell the buffered tracker to the highest bidder and if they did it would be on quality, meaning seeding and amount of torrents and community not on a site that once your in side your sorry you traded everything for nothing;)
why would u want it at a higher level? don't u "traders" want to get in without giving up every other tracker u have that worths something in the WIAW thread even though that thread should be removed well not removed but the levels/rarity taken out of it. Though i assume traders like the fact that sites like uk-t and rabbit are lvl 10 even though personally i cannot say anything about uk-t so i can't judge that site by just what users here say about it. I am one of those who actually like the rabbit tbh.
ratings dont matter..its just the rarity..feels like a jewel in your collection..but i still havent been lucky :(
That's hilarious. So you will give everything you got for a tracker like UK-T because it feels awesome to have it in your collection?Quote:

See people that's what rarity ratings do.
i thought FTN was an awezome site before i got an invite.. TBH it comes nowhere close to TL.. yes torrentleech is the best .. great content , easy to seed , nice speeds ... what else do you need in a tracker ?? if its not in TL , chances are you wont find it anywhere else .. (not talking about specialised trackers like oink, karagarga etc ) who invented this rarity shit ?? lol ...
i think this tracker lv s**** is makeing every go crazy long as u can get what you need from any tracker thats what counts!!!!
who cares about the rateing system its all abort the pre time people!!!
We should all raise a protest against the rarity system. :P
In the rarity thread there is a 10 besides SCT for how good the trackers are.
SCT and FTN on top and less good trackers down the list that's what I'm looking for, not rarity.
If we are not to remove the rarity thread we could at least make a new one for how good they are.
It can sound cool to have uk-t but in the end I think we all would rather be on the "best" and not the "rarest" tracker.
i sort of disagree. even outside of this forum people will want what they can't have, it's our nature
I don't see a big problem in having rarity marks in a system. Some people will base their values on it and the others will do it on quality. It's free world and if someone want to have their 7-10 levels collection - why not - it's their right. Myself prefers 8-10 quality :P
because it's a stupid and fairly innacurrate way to describe trackers
Well I'm more of a community guy so for me rare trackers are kinda nice. You have this closed tight community .. idc about the trackers on those sites. UK-t has a bad tracker but great community and that's nice if you like that. I think when you combine tracker and community like ftn has done you get a good site.
From what I've read here on fst there's only 2 things that counts: Get the best tracker so you could download, or get the rarest tracker so you could impress people. Some of you acctually do care about the community thing and respect that and I + that :D.
I wouldn't want to trade for ftwr, if I get in it would be for the community not mainly the tracker. If I traded for it I wouldn't feel apart of the community.
So I gues rarity could serve a point, though there should be a notice on the first page that the rare sites most likely contains a good community then a great tracker.
