i think we should invent some kind of mathematical formula like total users divided to that site's quality number or total torrents etc i dont know someone with more info on math can do it

skizo will not agree with u, cuz he failed in math and wont be able to administer the WIAW or WIAAAW

This sounds like a horrible idea. Haha. You can take into consideration the torrent stats, but definitely don't make it the key to how the site should be rated/ranked.

Exactly

, since the WIAW thread is stand for the rarity, then lvl 10 tracker should be always rare with only few members, otherwise it shouldn't be ranked as lvl 10 tracker.

my suggestion is if a tracker has disabled invites then it dosent make sense having it on "what invites are worth" list in the first place. we can prob add a small section on that page for : "currently disabled invites". as soon as they re-enable invites it can be considered for rating again depending on the rarity of invites of course.
the reason for this is that if a tracker on which almost everyone has an account temporarily disables invites..its still not rare and dosent deserve a level boost
another small suggestion is that trackers which do not have invites shouldnt be on the list at all. just rate them on content and no. of users
e.g - FL is a fantastic tracker w/o invites and certainly can do better than lvl. 2

Which is where it all falls down, because account trading is tied in to that thread, and is not only allowed here but encouraged, just read the whole thread and it soon becomes apparent it's not all about invites but how hard it is to obtain a certain tracker by hook or by crook, or by invite or account trading in other words.

So, either keep to the topic and remove account trading, and let it remain about the invites (which will of course make your point more valid about where trackers belong within that ranking), or just be open about things and make it the trading bible thread, and let things continue as they are (which I have no doubt is what will happen), however, there might become a time for a good debate on the future of that thread, including the title, and whether you incorporate rules that includes invite AND account trading here (and what is or isn't allowed ie expecting a paid for service such as a seedbox in return for invites etc - invite selling by the back door!)

Oh, insert smiley of choice here before people get upset and accuse me of having a go - again!
