FTN Invites Revoked

[Cabalo]

this only means that once they decide to give some invites ftn is gonna worth even more

this is the whole fucking problem.

i think they will giveaway invites here in fst...

lol... why should they ? are people more trustworthy just cause they are at FST ? that doesn't mean shit.


the downside is that now that they revoked invites, they are even more valuable, and they just got an added value for those that will get them. and they will use it to their benefit in most situations.

hard situation to solve, i reckon .

I knew FTN would never have reached their 6000 user limit bench mark.

I also can't say that I am very happy with FTN for completely removing invites. I can understand how they feel but I just don't agree with punishing everyone because a few idiots decided to sell invites. As a user it just really pisses me off that I have to pay for someone else's stupidity. I had my invites sitting there for months (xmas invites) because I had decided to use them only on friends & people that I got to know.

I have nothing else to say, it's just another sad day in the torrenting world.

I'm sorry innocent people have to suffer the consequences of a few bad apples, but you have no idea how frustrating it can be to constantly watch kindness be abused. You can't honestly expect us to just accept people using all the hard work we commit for their own personal profit. I won't accept that.

I can definetely understand what he is saying. A lot of people volunteer their time and effort for the sake of the file sharing community and it isn't right to tolerate people trying to profit off of someone else's work.

I hope this matter get's resolved and Ftn goes back to a secure, free, and safe place.

Im not just saying this because I am already a member there (cuz I am not) I just agree with the decision. I guess it wont hurt to have to wait a bit longer in the grand scheme of things lol. I had an invite on its way too as soon as they started filling req, but atleast now when i do finnaly get it, the site will be safer, more secure, and free of money leechers

I for one am glad this is turning into a discussion about the reasons why ftn staff chose to close invites, it is the greed of some which has caused many trackers to close invites for indefinite periods of time, and yes this greed is largely generated by the level of rarity of some trackers.
Those of you in this thread who are saying I am glad this is happening because I am in ftn, nice your almost as selfish as the invite sellers and traders who brought this about.
This should serve as a warning, not just ftn but more and more sites are going to follow stricter invite policies to stop the flow of trading/selling, FSC's invite system has been disabled while the birthday celebration is on but Retro has already said that the invitation system is to be overhauled to prevent exactly this type of problem happening on his site.
As members we are guests of a group of people who have made a site to fileshare, nothing more and that invitation is extended on the basis that you follow the rules set up by the people who made the filesharing site.
As more and more people ignore this and create duplicate a/c's to trade or sell a/c's and invites, the more & more tough it will become to become a member.
I know most of you truly don't believe this and see no problem in trading to get what you want, but it is exactly this selfish attitude which goes against the basic principle and will make invites harder and harder to obtain, in many ways by permitting what goes on , you have only yourselves to blame.
