Trophy Hunting and why it is bad for BT communities

**fatcat69** · 12-23-2008, 06:22 PM

Soooooooo

Here is my problem with users like you guys, you beg for years to get into sites, then just hold the accounts and do not use the tracker/forums/irc. WTF

Why this is bad:
1. You dont use the tracker...why else would you join a bt site..in the end we want you to use our trackers.
2. You take up the spot of a potential active user who will use the tracker and contribute back to the community.
3. You log in once a week to check to see the status of the tracker and then disappear for another week.
4. You don't donate, because you dont use the tracker.
5. You suck at life.

If you are one of these users, pretty soon things will change. I know of 4-5 trackers that are sought solely for their rarity that will be cutting anyone who does not use the tracker.

So take this as a warning...if you are looking for a tracker just to get it and brag about having it...and do not use it. You WILL not have an account there in about...oo say 4 weeks.

Be active or dont take the invite or delete your account.

Stop wasting our time.

I don't join stuff I won't be active on. I see no meaning in that

Nice initiative that trackers will be cutting them off. Hope the trackers get active and caring users in the future ^^

See, you warn people, now they'll all go off and download a torrent or 2 a week, making them 'active'. Thats not gunna help diddly. Just cut them now, no warning.

oh I didnt say its only happening at one time period...im saying this is going to start and continuously happen..as in every few days accounts will be checked and trashed.

/me loves scripts.

When I find something nice to download I download. There is no way in hell that I'm going to download just to not get deleted.

I say good riddance to any site, that feels I can't do that.

correct...

also if trackers' /delacct.php pages EVER worked people may delete their accounts. Also, if trackers didnt suck balls, people would use them.

well change the rules like HDBits did. That guarantees an active userbase.
