Excuse Me?

I forgot about Fiamma (She is a very strict but great mod, dedicated to helping others). Also I forgot about Polarbear(He seems to be extremely sensible). Reality I think you got a good 5-10 names, including 2-3 non bt staff members that must be BT Guru's(I mean't extremely deserving of the bt guru mark).
Excuse Me?
Didn't Think So!

There are so many remarkable and wise members I have met and admired all these years that would be impossible to recall them all.
Just to name a few Com Reps:
TheFox, DV8Type, Vidde, Brandon, RvT, DkRe8ive1,Stoi, Seppypom
and of course, devoted and knowledgeable members such as:
Sear, Corey, sense, kallieb, Moonspell13, Shuvt, krunktastic, pro267, benchez, Bunny67, Polarbear, SAM,kaffeine, Artemis, phrenzy, Alco23,pro267,Blue_Skies, DefX, Dr. Lecter, ghurka, Kirstein, popopot, ,WHRST, sylar666, Artemis, brotherdoobie, grimms and many others.
I believe though that wise members don't need a BT rank such as "guru" to be spotted. That's pretty easy I think.
Maybe just a little sign beside their username to denote their devotion to FST.
Com reps should, however, have kept their special title, since a lot of members may need their special help and should be easy for everyone to distinguish them (if that's what they want too of course.)

Let me clarify something that I think is being misunderstood.
I don't care about the status. I never cared about having "community rep" above my name.. I've been in my position long enough that status means nothing to me. I'm fine being a normal user here that's not what upsets me.
Long ago I used to disable every single user here who so as hinted at trading an invite, or an account. And I was very good at it. FST made a deal with me in the terms that I would allow invite trading at the cost of them dis-allowing account trading. I bit my lip and took the lesser of two evils. We both benefitted and everyone was happy. Myself, FST staff, and the users.
Now, things are back to the old system where it's a free for all and I'm going to once again be on a rampage of disabling every single user I see so as mention FTN. Part of the reason I agreed to allow invite trading here was because it took a load off my shoulders and gave me more time to put towards being an active member here in a more positive way rather than "The Big Bad Brandon".
What FST has now done, in my case as well as others, is open up the flood gates to a world of hurt. They've turned their backs on us (those of us who followed the agreement) and in turn broke the middle ground we once had established. So now FST is happy, but myself, and the users I'm going to be disabling will no longer be happy. That to me seems like more people will be unhappy than the old system, so we're sort of going backwards in terms of productivity here.
I'm pissed off because A: they broke the truce. and B: now I have devote all my time to disabling users rather than being an active member here.
For anyone who's reading this and wants my help, don't bother. I won't even waste my time reading my pm's anymore. I just don't have the time. I'm sorry, but I no longer have the option to help this community or its users.
Do not pm me for invites. At the moment I will not be participating here in that regard. I will ignore your pm.

I guess it just boils down to the whole respect thing you were talking about before. When the staff here approached the CR's an agreement had to be made and in order to do that both parties had to agree. I am not sure but it seems like when CR was taken away, the tracker owners and represantatives had no say in the change in rule; not even the good active ones.
Are these assumptions correct?
If they are I can see why one would be extremely irritated about that. I mean just because there is no CR status that doesn't mean respect for trackers just goes out the window. So why are we allowing account trading here now?
If the tracker owners and represantatives allowed invite trading in order to better help the community here with there time I think the least we can do is honor the original agreement, CR or no CR.
Just my two cents
Jon
i could not agree with you more
i would love to be able to help members here but now the deal i made with fst has been broke i am now back to catching all traders ect again this is going to take most of my time due to this i have disabled my pm box and any user needing help will now need to go though my sites support system
fst turning there back on ppl who did not break the deal's offered is a big step back

I feel for Brandon as well. I can't imagine what it would be like to finally get a chance to focus on being simply a good member of a forum, only to have your old heavy duties thrown back on you.
Heres to a hopeful future for you, Brandon!
Kindness goes a long way!

I believe that account trading should be totally prohibited in here, whether there was an agreement with some trackers or not.
It only spoils the reputation of FST.

One thing I have discovered is that if you show respect, you tend to get respect.
How does this work?
Well, at FSC we encourage our member to be our eyes and ears. After all, staff are not everywhere. Since many of our members are also members here, that attitude is reflected very much within the invite forums.
I am amazed at how many account request threads are drowned out by pro-FSC members. These people are proud to be members, and work along side staff in an attempt to ensure that account trades are minimised.
I believe it boils down to one simple fact. If people value their membership, they will fight to preserve that membership, and people value their membership when they are more than just a user ID.
