I bet everyone traded before they collected what they want/need.

I am not trader supporter, but sometimes there is no another way, or i am wrong?

Nope, wrong. And rarely have I seen regular torrenters "beg" for invites. The only time I've had to ask for anything was when HDBits reopened, and we all saw how that went

srsly dont lie, we are all humans and we all made mistakes.

It's a matter of self respect and ethics/morals.

it's often a choice.

that said, i agree that many bt users trade invites/accounts because it seems to them the simplest way to get what they need.

Yes.
Trading.
Is rule breaking on most of torrent sites.

Torrent / Torrent tracker have nothing with rule breaking, tracker content dont break rules

You're bound to have some people like that. The type that get a thrill from breaking rules. Sad really, unless you're 14.

For a reason I can't quite pinpoint, I read this whole thread.

All in all I didn't take much from it...What I did take was basically things I already knew about people (I'm not speaking of Serb)...After reading this thread...

There are people I like even less than I did before...

People I like more than I did before...

Unfortunately, I did find that there were those that I didn't have much of a view of prior to the thread that I now think less of. This thread seems to have brought out the worst in some and that is the unfortunate part...

I want to know that too.

My guess is that he released NFO files on SceneNotice.

I personally have never traded... as someone said earlier, it's a little to do with morals/ethics... pretty much every site, if not all I'm aware of, forbid trading and don't welcome members by that route...

I wouldn't be happy joining a tracker via that route, always knowing that it could come back 'to bite me on the arse' and I could have the account taken from me at any time... I just don't think I'd enjoy the tracker, wondering if I was still gonna be able to log in whenever I went on...

I'm far happier joining a tracker in one of 2 ways... either sign-ups are open and you know you're going to be welcomed when you take part in the forums/chat rooms/irc... OR it's an invite only tracker, and someone has taken the time to get to know you enough to think you have something to offer the tracker and is good enough to invite you... I think there's far more satisfaction out of joining a community that way than by sneaking in the back door and hoping to fuck you don't get caught and thrown straight out through the front window...

Again though, I 'spose it's down to personal choice really...

Ok fine,let's talk about morality and ethics.
Do those words really mean anything on the internet?
I mean some of these avatars belong to rl pedophiles and rapists.
Like how do you even begin developing the relevancy of such a topic.

By using your own personal beliefs as a start... and standing by them if they mean anything to you.

Yeah the internet is full of scum, but by 'logging on' and participating in it doesn't by default make you scum also...

Yeah there are traders, yeah there will always be traders... but so what? Doesn't mean you have to become one or condone it, does it?

Morals and ethics are all individual, go with what you believe in and fuck everyone else

I don't separate how I act in cyperspace and in RL .I think that people who use that as an excuse would just as quickly do the same thing to you in RL ( as on the internet) if given the opportunity.
