Good
Bad
Not sure / not bothered
I tallied it and didnt write the names down. Didnt want to point my finger at people specifically. I was just trying to make a point. If you think trading is bad I wont disagree with you. However, I do think the people that are saying its wrong should be quite when they are actively attempting to trade accounts. There is alot of that going on lately.
In the past FST members were pointing the finger only at scammers.
This is slowly changing and they are also pointing the finger at hardcore traders.
I think though, that the question should be "Can you resist trading"?
A lot of people understand that account trading is not good.
Scammers also know that scamming is not good !
The thing is: are they willing to stay away of trading or scamming despite of the benefits they might get?
It means nothing to me if you are an active trader and claim you are against it.
It means almost nothing to me if you become an antitrader only if you acquire the trackers you want by trading. You will probably start trading again when a new tracker pops up in the top list.
Do you remember how many "retired" traders here realized that it wasn't actually the right time to get their pension?
For me a mature antitrader is the one who can resist trading, even if he has rare invites that could get him into any other tracker he doesn't have and desires,and yet, he doesn't do it.

U simplify things, Buddy. It is not an issue of being black or white.
Trading IS NOT bad in the 1st place. It isn't the right feature. Better be judged by: Useful or Not? I am a pragmatist, U know.
I traded a lot in the past, and frankly speaking I enjoyed it. But I don't sh...t, where I ate. I quit, and started to help my friends here with giveaways and with any other issue if asked (assuming I was capable of doing that). I don't feel myself a bad person (actually, not worse than U) just because I traded, and that said trading was a terrific tool to get friends here with a lot of people (traders or not), whom I value and respect a great deal to date.
Honestly IMO trading is fun, and not an ethical category like armed robbery - which is bad. That does not mean that I go back to trading or unretire...no. I've had enough (awesome pension got what I wanted, and even more importantly I 've found new perspectives, new challenges joining BitTorrent communities (I do not want to mention names). I am able to deliver at another level, and keeps me busy in the meantime. But who am I to make judgements? Nobody. I do not have the experience and wisdom yet. I even come to like my so -called "E-adversaries".
Now I would not turn them down if had a favor been asked...

invites are to be given away acct if you are done with em give em up as someone else can get that slot with a invite
"and Yes people have put trust in me""and i thank you all"im just a frigen dreamer and im waiting for them to come true ....trust(trst)n. 1. Firm reliance on the integrity, ability, or character of a person or thing.
2. Custody; care.
3. Something committed into the care of another; charge.
4. a. The condition and resulting obligation of having confidence placed in one.
b. One in which confidence is placed.
Trading accounts is the only way to get to the top trackers fast. And there's not that much "disrespect for community" (except breaking tracker rules) in trading - people did their service by providing bandwidth while they were buffering account for subsequent trade. Forbidding account trading here is a bad idea, there should be a place free of all tracker rules.

What alot of people are forgetting here is that the people that run trackers are putting themselves at risk for you. Tracker staff face fines, jail time and criminal records. The least we can do is respect their wish to lessen those risks. I don't think anyone here wants to spend time in a federal prison because someone traded an account to the wrong person.
