My title says it all.
Depends who you are giving them away to.
It also depends where.
Well giveaway here to people with good ratios.
Anyone can fake a ratio screenshot, and the requester might also be a cheater. You should give your invites away to your trusted friends and not random strangers on public forums.
I think the title implies which tracker-staff actively searches for public giveaways/trades and acts accordingly.
I learned that the hard way. :(Quote:

its pretty easy to understand ... the main reason for invites is to invite good users who can benefit and contribute to the site, therefore invite bad users eg. cheat w.e then you get bad results ...im sure any tracker will ban you for inviting a bad user lol
Ah yes, I think I missed that.Quote:

When you go further upwards, then you start getting trackers that tell you "give invites to someone you don't know and you'll be banned :angry:" (like TL) but IMO that's a load of crap...I must have given out close to 50 TL invites to random people without proof and I've never heard anything from them again.
When you get above level 5, and definitely level 6, you should be extremely careful with invites, because their scary threats are true and you will be banned.
Basically you should figure out which specific sites are strict about giving invites, like Oink or Bitmetv
oink ;)

Does anyone have any knowledge of this?
Basically, is it possible to accept an invitation to FTWR or AOM from someone across the world without both of you getting banned from the tracker without its admins going to any bigger effort than simply comparing your IP ranges?
I can speak only for my own tracker. We suggest you give invites to people you know. We hold all inviters responsbile for their invitees. Invitee cheats the invitee and his tree is gone. Several invitees cheat the whole tree goes from inviter down.
We also ban account trading in our FAQ. We will see it and we will take action. I will not comment on methods used for detection.
i don't think they compare ips of inviter and invitee. but i know a case where somebody got banned from bitmetv. he was a canadian and had a longer business trip to europe. he logged in with a european ip from his notebook and got banned for account trading.Quote:

It used to be possible to take a long trip without being suspected.
It used to be possible to run a site and not have to log every single thing about users.
Traders bought it all on themselves and others, and want to put the blame on the trackers.
and it used to be possible to explain this to mods :PQuote:

Now the important thing is who you invite. I lost my BitmeTV account because I gave away 7 invites here and I tried to choose people very careful and 4 of them cheated. So it's very hard to find legit people. So if you really care about your accounts try to invite close friends or people you really know well only.
The shitty thing for me is that I never got 1 single warning. They found out someone cheated then they checked the whole tree and found out 3 more had cheated and my account was disabled without any warning. I actually was chocked since I'm very careful with people I invite but you can never be too careful.
Thank you everyone for your answers.
To be honest, I still don't know whether there is a "Only people you know in person" rule for giving invites to high-levelers, but if there is one somewhere, I'd be pretty surprised if they didn't check IP ranges from both the inviter and the invitee.
On the other hand, if there is no such rule, it's understandable that they don't and that they only care about how the invitee will behave once he registers.
their argument (not mine) is: don't offer invites in public. of course you can give an invite to a friend living in another country or to somebody you just know online.Quote:

Well, that's what I've been arguing all along, why couldn't you give an invite to a friend living abroad?Quote:

Thank you for all your replies.
After reading your comment i will only give a few low level invites out. Higher level tracker invite i will keep until i make friends and earn trust on this site. :)
Lol GL then.
But regarding to the thread then listen to me, dont ever care much about a tracker. Its better having +1 friend than +1 Tracker.
