how to get invites without trading... hmmm... maybe prove to that person that you are someone worth of giving an invite to, not just someone who's traded their way into some account that possibly in this day in age they didn't even start themselves... Just because you have invites doesn't make you a trust worthy person... but i can see from your +13 trade rep that this concept is lost on you, since you are more like a used car salesman of getting invites... looks like business is looking up...

I really do not see your point, sorry. By providing invites you ARE proving trusthworthy to the opposing member. I guess you will never know the value of good sites. Spread the demonoid love!Originally Posted by zeustke165
by providing invites to anyone who comes along with something else you want in no way is thinking in the best intrest of the site... say you invite 5 people because they can get you an invite to the latest and greatest 1337 tracker, and 3 turn out to be cheats, how did you help? And i believe i better than you understand the value of good sites, i am a member of many such good sites and got them the old fashioned way, i was active in many different torrent communities and gained the respect of other members and even being staff at some, and in such received invites to other trackers... so in essence I had to prove that i was worthy of an invite, and not because i could get them into some other 1337 tracker...

Yeah i can understand where you are coming from. But a lot of members here have got a lot of respect for trackers and they did not deserve this one bit. Whichever way you look at it, to trade both members have to have some form of respect for each other. Nobody would just hand invites away to a nice tracker like this. Free invites are only given to sites like TL or ones that opened signups recently.
Temptations The Ultimate Flaw In Humans
I would give out invites for free to a site like this, to people i trust will do the site some good, I think your still missing the point of invites, I dont trade invites, i give away any invites I have to people i TRUST to do the site good. I will agree that i am sure there were many members affected that we're very decent people and good members, but unfortunately someone broke the rules, and they in some way were indeed linked to those people, hopefully those decent people will be able to get on the tracker again someday, but it is not the staff of the site you should be upset with, it is all those that are openly and freely breaking the site rules on sites such as this every single day that are the problem... These are the consequences unfortunately when the rules of a site have been broken to such an extent were people feel that they are justified in some way in doing so... they dont seem to understand they have no right to be there, it is a private site, and being there is a privilege, and does come with rules and responisbility...

Everyone keeps talking about some agreement between FTWR and FST. What is this agreement, in detail?
Not everyone that has a good trading rep is a trader. Look at my rep, what is it now 18? I have not traded invites or accounts with anyone. I give my invites freely to people who I feel would be good members of various private forums. Because of all this recent banning I don't think that I will ever give invites to any tracker rated a +3 or more here, in fear of loosing my account.
Gee, Brain what do you want to do tonight?
The same thing we do every night Pinky. Try to take over the world!

Let me tell about the old days when you actually had to work to earn an invite I mean I had no less then 500 posts on some trackers before I even ever got considered for an invite to another tracker.
Trading did not exist back then but if you showed your worth to the community invites would come your way and the more you contributed the more respect you gained and once you earned that guess what, you could ask for any private tracker you wanted and you would be let in without even blinking an eye.
Yes I know I said I would'nt post anymore on this threadbut this my final post.
im sorry dvhrld i didn't mean to imply that everyone with a positive trading rep is a leech on the system, but users like you and I who willingly GIVE invites to people we know and trust are a dying breed it seems...
and to DKre8ive1 those days almost seem so long ago now with the sad state of affairs, I recognize your SN from a host of trackers, and instantly recognize you as someone that is trustworthy... and I much the same in my own circles have become quite well known, and as such have gained respect amongst my fellow torrentors, not quite in the same league as you, but I agree that the respect and trust is what should gain people acceptance into a new tracker, not because they are expert barterers...

No doubt - the Hitler comparision was rather extreme and absurd.The only immature person here is you. Since you started the Hitler comparison: your type would be his most loyal supporters and never question his rules since he is in charge. Never question the leader!
And for your pathetic male chauvinistic "took it like a man" comment: A person who doesn't stand up for justice and his integrity is a man without balls in my opinion
At times, you gotta use shock value to prove a point.
But this whole "your type" thing - as mentioned "Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr"!!!
Take the time to read previous posts that I have made, so that you can get a better idea of where I am coming from. My entire mode of life is questioning and examining all things.
But as mentioned - there are zillions of trackers that are out there. Some are practically identical, and some differ. I personally understand and respect the rules of this tracker - this is a choice that I have made - please repect that. And just because I have done so does not make me some mindless drone who follows the herd. If these rules are not conducive to what you think BT is all about, then move on to those greener pastures that you seek.
And yeah - "take it like a man" is no doubt a pseudo chauvinistic comment.
BUt we are not debating "political corectness" here. I was directly quoting someone, and my respect was for their action, and not their gender.
It is so *easy* to whimper and cry about things, and to cast blame for all the people who have wronged. In fact, it could be said that it is a natural reaction. It takes emotional depth to be patient about something, to wait until the smoke clears before raising up a shit storm.
The fact is that many innocent people did get screwed out of this, and that really does suck, and I genuinely empathize for them. But the fact is that invite/account trading became a big problem, and the mods were simply doing what they could to protect the interests of the majority of their users. Look at the world around you - it is not perfect. Sadly, at times, bad things happen to good people. You gotta deal with it, and not let it make you bitter.
As mentioned - don't delude yourself and believe that you are some great champion of freedom and opressed, a hero who stands for "justice and integrity". All be it an absurd comparison, but this is once again how Hitler saw himself. Life is about perspective.
Once again - if you do not like what is being served at this restaurant, feel free to go dine elsewhere. Don't expect the menu to be changed simply because it does not agree with your palette.

Well said.
The threat post is a pathetic ultimatum, and it says alot about the person who posted it.
Now that I think about it, I really don't like the people that live next door to me. I'm gonna go round up a crew of my friends, and tonight, we'll head over and beat the living tar out of them. That will show them!
We do live in sad times....
