filesharingtalk absolutely sucks for trading

[Artemis]

I was determined to read this whole thread to see any interesting new point of view but i fell asleep in the middle

Agreed these are the same points of view that have always been expressed, but then I keep seeing the same stay out of it argument and I will respond to that, I for one hardly go near the invites section and do not spam the board with moronic +1 & gl posts everywhere in an effort to boost my post count, but then just because the opinion has been said before doesn't make it any less valid ?
This is an issue which will continue to be discussed, as it is one of the more contentious ones in the bt community, but I will always challenge those who say that I shouldn't have an opinion.

Because of the abundance of low life interlopers here whose 2 cents are worth negative 3. The spamming is incredible, so one would have to either choose between having their threads bumped down and go unnoticed or have a bunch of hyper retards with lame subjective opinions about rankings, what someone should and shouldn't offer you, etc. These are the same losers begging to get into the sites in question, stuck begging in GiveAway threads, looking for charity like stupid peasants. You people truly make me sick, I motion to have a separate forum for trading and giveaways and a proper enforecment of spam, this is ridiculous.

Note:

I'm not at all worried about any semi-witty, sarcastic responses or rhetorical devices because it is just taunting. What I'm saying, rings true, no matter how funny or reduced your reply is, and I'm making a note of this because I expect it.

i'm sorry that you have to trade to get invites for private trackers and that others get them for free. that must really suck.

i'm sorry that you have to break tracker rules, while other people follow them.

i'm sorry that you feel disturbed by other members in your efforts to obtain memberships to private trackers by trading.

i'm sorry that your threads get bumped down if you lock them and nobody wants to trade with you anymore.

i'm sorry that fst isn't the "invite trading forum" you want it to be.

i have a great advice for you. why don't you open your own social group and called it: "high life trading".

you can meet with all the real traders and have a super invites tupperware party - without stupid posts in your holy dealing threads.

have fun in the invite section of this forum and many "ups" and "bumps" in your locked topics.

If you don't want your trading threads to be filled with spam, close it for 12 hours, reopen it, bump it, close it. Repeat ad nauseam

Exactly, it's not for other members to tell me where I can or cannot post, nor what I can or cannot say in an open thread, as long as I don't spam (spam in accordance with the boards rules - not spam in accordance with some unwritten rule as laid down by noisy members), then I also defend the right of reply in any open thread.

I thought a couple of groups had just been created ?

People can post what they want, where they want without your, or my, permission, as long as it's within the boards rules, not your, or any other members unwritten rules.

People can post wherever they want? I'm afraid not because this is spamming which is clearly against the rules of FST.So your logic clearly fails.

People can't post whatever/wherever they want. If you believe that one's actions contradict with site rules feel free to use the report section.

As to your discussion with Artemis and the Sarge, I believe that the flaw in your arguments is inherent in the fact that you've voiced them: how can you expect a person to refrain from expressing his/her opinions on the actions of others wherever he so wishes when you've clearly done the same in this thread?

I agree to your point that on other occasions (iTS threads do come to mind) certain members have tried to exercise their nonexistent authority - not only of FST rules but of trackers' rules as well - but this is not the case since the wording chosen by Artemis may involve personal opinions but certainly doesn't involve authority or any attempt to exercise it. Artemis can express any opinion he wishes to express in regards to traders as they are free to express theirs, and neither you nor I are to be judges as to whether that is or isn't within site rules - you have a moderation team and a report section precisely for that purpose.

It is not baseball cards.lol. Other's see some that trade act impatient,scammer's-ect or cant get a invite-account because they been banned. Against rules with all good ones i assume- have no high ranks but i would think. Somebody who really likes whatever could be banned on another member trading-cheating so it is probably better to follow the rules! Never would trade!
kflint is right , there are probably invite only trading(filled w-scams but that comes with trading so good luck,lol) sites try them. to each his own, not saying i dislike traders, just the point of it, sounds untrustworthy.

You're right,i should've reported.

Please point out where exactly i've said that i dont want people to express their opinion.I clearly stated that noone here(other than mods) has the right to exercise authority. There's a massive difference between an opinion and authority.So i feel my argument against them isn't flawed as i didnt stop them from expressing their opinion.

My point exactly,no argument on this.

[monk3y]

look at this from my point of angle if you trade you hurt the tracker's staff, community and others so don't trade and you won't have the problems you are talking about.

who in the blue world was exercising authority (bolded it for your easyness ) in THIS thread?

P.S. i don't see conversation moving forward so perhaps the thread. Mr soulreaper (btw i find your nick offensive... u won't rep my soul, will u? ) brought the conversation back to opinion and authority...whhich i though was already responded.

P.P.S. my P.S. is longer than text
