I'm getting tired from this

[dunson]

I'm not really trying that hard to get attention, nor to climb the ladder. But for what its worth I've got a 3.X ratio, uploaded over 1TB including 25+ torrents of my own that were popular, 100+ comments and posts, etc. Nobody notices though because there are always those guys who have been there for 2 years or upload 5 0day releases every morning, etc. So I think it would be nearly impossible for the average user.

So without giveaways (like the one I got to Demonoid RIP) I would be downloading passworded archives from The Pirate Bay still....

I did say in an "ideal World"

i never said it actually happens, even though i think it should work that way.

think of a pyramid scheme, but with no money or the bad things that happen with pyramid schemes lol

Well said stoi. Personally I think we should keep allowing members to do giveaways and requests and I'm pretty sure it will stay this way. What it will come down to is that the inviters will need to have more strict rules and carefully check out the person they choose to give an invite to. I've gotten my "higher" level trackers through invites so I make sure I pay the my inviter back by keeping a good account. People need to stop trying to get everything they see, and concentrated on what they actually use.

Well do the members that have invites on private trackers also frequent open sites like BitSoup looking for those to give invites to. Think quite often members that are both at private trackers swap with each other. They know theyre not dealing with a n00b that way perhaps. Though how do they meet each other if theyre not on the same site to begin with. Well your guess is as good as mine now...

Ask yourself, what are you doing giveaways for, and who really is the beneficiary of that giveaway, the person giving and getting himself in the limelight, the person requesting for any number of reasons?

We really have to get out of this mentality of anyone requesting an invite by opening a thread and asking for a tracker invite is a beggar, that really annoys me, hopefully at least he has done some homework on that tracker, and if I see a good request then all the better, why is a requester a beggar?? Much more deserving of an invite than a pathetic response "plze gimme that for my xxxxxx" in a giveaway thread?

stoi, I've tried just that at BitSoup and nobody has invited me anywhere since I joined like 4 months ago. That may be partly due to the fact that they don't allow you to even mention another site on there...

I think its easy to suggest, but much different in reality for us noobs who don't have a friend to invite us to some cool trackers. I think friends + trading is where a lot of invites go rather than being given away to some random person like myself.

Awwww, Can I be your /special/ friend?

[ideto]

give away to trusted friend you know, not in public giveawya to every cheater has a chance.

Of course, of course. I only meant to add a noobs perspective to that of someone who runs what I hear is a great tracker.

haha Of course. I trust anyone with a mustache.

well bitsoup was just one name i pulled at random, ive never been a member there so havnt a clue how it works, but i presume it has a ratio system, and forums/comments.

so if you do "frequent" there, which is the way it should be done imo you can see the good the bad and the noobs anyway.

btw i have nothing at all against noobs, we all had to start somewhere, i crashed doncax server by uploading the rar for quake and not a torrent when i first started out 5 years ago.

if you giveaway on here, you dont know who they are, if you giveaway on trackers, doesnt matter if they are lvl 1 or 10 you can get an idea of what the member is like, and what content they desire the most.

obviously someone that just downloads movies, your not going to invite to bcg, and someone that just downloads games your not going to invite to waffles.

I know what im saying goes against the grain of FST, but why giveaway on here, when you can do it on a tracker.

[grimms]

sorry for doing that but I had many giveaways lately and each one I saw the same word
"please I need it"
"pleas that one is good for my study"
"I looking for along time to that one"
the same shit over and over

but lets see in real how much they "realy" want it
p.s
what you going to see its only little exmple, there is more

bluelabel? Only giveaway invites to people you can trust and know (even if you only know them through the internet). Also get some direct proof links as well. It does get annoying. I have invited a few people, to only see that they downloaded nothing. It pisses me off more then anything, especially after saying they couldn't live without an invite to that particular site. That you just happened to have an invite too. It's tough man i know...Just use your better judgement as best as you can.

haha, I uploaded an AVI file instead of the torrent file once, crashed the torrent site as well

As for inviting within torrent sites, some allow it, dome don't, but most are very insular and you can't get a rounded idea of what is what, if all tracker site forums had an area for offers & wants of invites, then it might work, but then here would be dead, swings & roundabouts, and I doubt anything will change.
