How to join STR:
You need to join their "interview" IRC channel.
Server: irc.sharetheremote.org
Channel: #invite
The staff will ask for some profile links/ratio proofs and some questions about you. If you’re a good bittorrent user you can easily pass the interview.
"Good BitTorrent user" meaning giving them great ratio proofs and profile links?Quote:

Don't bitch too much, for me the interview was 3 profile links and 4 questions, took me 5 minutes. This was about 3 weeks ago.
This in fact is one of the few trackers with interviews that isn't a shithole.
Did they ask you any TV questions?
BTW is everyone there humourless or are you an isolated case?
:lol:Quote:

What is this tracker about?
TV shows and stuff.
anon, you are fast! :)
He's faster than fast.
That was just luck. I visited this thread again to check something and you had posted on it, coincidentally. :happy:Quote:

The interviews were half a farce. I got into the channel easily hours after other people, and just because one of the interview staff was a friend of mine I got in and out of the interview 5 minutes later. I told him I was in no rush and I can wait till someone highlights me, but he insisted it wasn't busy for them.Quote:

And yeah, one question related to TV shows. Still, I like the ratioless aspect of the place, hypocritical as it may make me sound.
Not wanting to always worry about ratio is far from being hypocritical, on the other hand being staff ( which should be a position of trust) and putting someone to the head of the queue simply because of friendship,as much as it was nice of him, doesn't reflect very well on the site.Quote:

Btw sarcasm is only effective if it makes a valid point.
Well he could have gone away to do something else than interviewing as well. It's all his time, not payed time by his boss, the site, whatever. So he can do what he wants. Hell, he could even have 'stopped interviewing for five minutes, and just inviting his friend with his own invite'. How does inviting your friend before working your way through a bunch of random people, perhaps 95% cheaters, traders, n00bs, etc. make you a bad staffer?
Valid point, heh, just a point you don't agree to.
I never said that he was a bad staffer .:unsure:I just alluded to the fact that people in positions of authority ( most notably those that were given them presumably to do a certain job and adhere to to certain ethical standards ) when faced with a decision their first concern should be fairness and everything else( including friendship) coming someplace after that.
Hell of a way to run an army man.Hell of a way.
Btw I also don't see how whether he is paid or not factors into it.He was given and presumably accepted the position in good faith .Does living up to responsibility necessitate being paid ?
