Isnt this hypocrisy?

[grimms]

When doing give aways, hard core traders are just trying to pass off the illusion that they really are genuinely good people, that care about the wellbeing of the community, be it here or at the trackers they have absolutely no respect for. They think it somehow makes them less undesirable and who knows.. maybe a bit less

My point exactly.

[wheeloftime]

Same old faces that post in every anti-trader thread making the same old assumptions whilst there friends suck up to them.

All I've read in this thread is trading is apparently gay, homophobia on the other hand appears to be totally acceptable.

[MSF]

Dont love Trading at all , it's also very

u love it in your trade account.

[sokrates]

Traders trade accounts,and invites, and yet when they give away an invite or account, they want people not to trade their invites/accounts...

Isn't it hypocrisy?

Of course not, you wouldn't like to see your tree banned for what happens underneath you would you?, oh, wait a minute, they are not in your tree, they are in some random users tree with some name no-one has ever heard of and the inviter of that invited account has no idea what is going on underneath him! Poor soul.

"Hi everyone, it's John here"

"But your nick says ladyboy!!??"

"Oh yes, yes it does, I forgot, I suffer from a multiple personality disorder and have an identity crisis on trackers, so don't worry"

hmm i use different nicks on torrent sites, is there something wrong with it?

ofc it is hypocrisy..
to the ones that say it isnt: who says he doesnt trade the given acc or invite with another 'trusted' trader?

1st please remember to keep this thread respectful or it will be closed, this is a healthy debate and lets all keep it that way without getting personal. Thanks

Detale, u dont know the meaning of trust, go look it up..


or wait.. u havent met many trustworthy individuals yet. :/ yea.. that must be it. if u r looking for trust among traders, its a sad thing

Dude I am fully aware of the meaning of trust. It would seem that you aren't realizing that there are many many levels of trust. How would you know of my experiences when I traded long long ago?? I have had both happen No0b traders who have turned out to become good non trading members and long time trusted friends who have screwed me over. I have found, as I'm sure many others before me have, you can't really trust anyone 100% we trust each other on different levels for different reasons. for instance many of us will give an invite to say TD or ST without blinking an eye because it is considered by many a "low level" tracker and there will be no real repercussions if they turn out to be a scumbag, but somehow on the trackers considered "higher levels/better" you need to trust someone much more to give that invite freely because if they f*ck up it's your ass. Get it?
For you to assume you know anybody else's reasons for anything is foolish. Also why do you seem so hostile?

1. account trading is wrong, you don't own the account in the first place
2. invite trading is wrong as you are only interested in what you are getting not who you are sending to the site.
3. account giveaway wrong (same as 1 )
4. invite giveaway is ok if you act within the tracker/forum rules and do some checks on who you give the invites to.


and I voted yes

Now you know I love you Jose but I firmly disagree with you here on one thing.

2. invite trading is wrong as you are only interested in what you are getting not who you are sending to the site.

Sure some are only interested in this, but many others do happen to care whom they invite thats why they will do a check on that person and ask for requirements such as post count or other things, to try as best they can to make sure the member will be a good productive member and not screw them over the first chance they get.

As for the other two points I agree whole heartedly, basically I feel we all should follow the trackers rules.

.....ofc it is hypocrisy..
to the ones that say it isnt: who says he doesnt trade the given acc or invite with another 'trusted' trader?

Well if we are talking invite trading the primary trader traded an invite, you cannot re-trade an invite as it is now an acct.

He traded with someone and made a decision hopefully based on some knowledge of that member, he knows nothing of this secondary member who may be a trusted member BUT may very well not be either. The Original guy never has they choice to decide on who this acct now goes to.

For those who simply put "Trading is gay" with no answer in here. To me this seems like a cop out. It has become trendy to say I don't trade or I'm retiring or other Bull5hit like this, I Myself haven't traded in ages and I don't believe in it anymore but why do some feel the need to announce it so? It is the way you should be you don't deserve a thing for it no need to have a trendy sig saying I retired as of X/XX . Speaking of Sigs

@Sokrates sig

Melvinmeow was banned for the following reason: Douchebaggery
FREE MelvinMeow!!

Dude you don't think this propaganda?? There is no fact in this statement only claiming "Douchebaggery" whatever that means, I myself have no problem with Mel, we spoke recently, what exactly would you like to free him from?? perhaps you need to read my sig.

[Detale]

As I just got home I have been thinking on this for a good part of the day. I have another point to ask you p1r4t3 what if you freely give someone an invite? Is it then OK for them to freely give the acct away? That is the same rationale that I see you using to suggest that traders are being hypocritical

[mrbombastic]

for some reason i think that trading is

hey bro you sure love your debates ...but to answer your question I think that no it's not ok that account you created was meant for you and if you don't want it it's best to let it die so a new user can walk in the front door.

But on the topic of the poll. It's not hypocritical if the trader giving away the invite would never trade something they got for free. If they would but expect others to do as they say and not as they do then that is in my book the definition of a hypocrite.

p.s. trading is lame but it has nothing to do with sexuality all I can say for a fact is that detale is totally

[meo]

You know what hypocrisy is:

- ppl saying that trading sucks in order to get invite

- ppl being your friend so they can get invite

- ppl begging for invites

- ppl saying that trading put trackers at risk

Nuff say

^^^^^ another highly literate outburst...... nuff say

@ detale , the comment melvinmeow was banned for douchebaggery was originally posted by speedfreak after melvin was banned here, it was just speed punking mm,
oddly enough it has since become some kind of rallying cry,
personally I think its better if melvin stays in the secure
psych ward, I for one wouldn't feel safe if he was free!
