People against trading are either 1. cheap or 2. don't have anything decent to offer.

Nice! Well-documented point of view!

People against trading are either 1. cheap or 2. don't have anything decent to offer. Lots of traders do giveaways as well.

I have everything I want (more than 50). But I will giveaway most of it - Level 4-7 trackers. I kinda do not need more, than 5-10 trackers.

its just really weird that most of the people in these anti trading /non trading groups are ex-traders ... they trade for trackers and when they have everything they want .. they convert to "anti-trading " ...

i have a feeling that this has something to do with the site revolt ..lol

not me I agree there are some ex-traders but I think it's a mix. And yes I too am suspicious of ex traders who suddenly see the light. However don't want to paint them all with the same brush so I will say that many former traders are genuine and have become good friends of mine. And one last thing...not all anti-traders are out to troll and fuck with trades some of us believe in making our own decisions and leading by example, not harassment


p.s. account trading is poison

I am not cheap I am strongly against a/c trading because of the cheating and leeching which it allows, although I do not agree with invite trading I can understand people wanting to get a tracker they are particularly after. I have good a/c's myself and choose the people that I think deserve the invites, and will continue to do so. Most people are impatient to have it NOW and add another tracker to their userbar , without really contributing anything .

I think there has to be a distinction between someone who will trade X for Y, because they actually want Y, and those who trade simply because it is a status.

There are a number of people here who trade, simply to watch their Rep points go up. It has become a sort of competition among a percentage of the core membership here.

While I don't like trading, a certain amount has to be acceptable, especially when the traders are trading something for something that they actually want.

What more and more members are actually becoming, are dealers. These dealers are not interested in the account, or community, or torrents, or anything else to do with the trade. Like cattle farmers, their only interest is to feed the animal up (build a large buffer) so that they can later offer the account as a better trade for something else.

These dealers are no better than car traders, who buy and sell continually, without any interest in what they are buying or selling (merely motivated by profit, or what they can attain).

Genuine traders do it because they genuinely want what someone else is offering. While it may offend site administrators, the reasons behind the trade are genuine, and these traders will often become contributing members of the traded communities.

Remember that dealers will acquire an account, fatten it up with a buffer, then trade it on. They are the ones who do the damage to the trading scene.

Your a well spoken chap aren't you Mr Fox. Not saying I agree or disagree with you, but nice argument.

It's not that we are cheap or don't have anything decent to offer (and "decent" it's a very relative term), but by trading you're breaking the trackers' rules, plus you risk the security a private tracker meant to have, because you're supposed to invite someone you trust, and if you trade, you're obviously more interested in what the other person can give you for your account, rather than the use this person can give to your account, or how trustworthy this person really is.

I agree with you and i have to say that :

Trading invites for me it's alright,
But trading accounts is just kinda of contribute to the destruction of the Trackers itself...
But the best is to Giveaway to people you can trust that a sure thing.

If they made rules they know why they made rules and i think it's good to have rules there.
