Should Acct trades be allowed here?

[singing_sol]

yeah mod detale see when some one has no use of his acc and is wastin it rather he could trade it for some thin he thinks is useful isn't it

think of it this way, probably not the best analogy but im tired.

You go to a pub with a mate, you buy him a drink, he then turns around and gives that drink to a complete stranger, and goes and gets himself a better drink.

im sure you would think, wtf was going on lol

Tracker staff and your inviter want YOU as a member, not some tom dick or harry you have found elsewhere on the net.

If you dont want your account, delete it or just let it die and get pruned.

I just want to chime in again. There's a lot of talk about this not stopping account trading they'll just go somewhere else. Well as I see it this isn't about somewhere else this is about FST so lets focus on that. The only reason I give a rats about this poll is that I want to see FST improve. I don't like the fact that many in the BT community have a low opinion of FST.

Saying oh well we shouldn't ban it because it will still happen is silly. Nothing will ever get done if everyone says oh well we're going to sit on our hands because the other guy is. Lets focus on FST and let RealPoor and ZP and even worse places worry about what they're doing.

Also for people saying you should ban all trading or allow all trading. Come on life is about compromise. Sure in an ideal world I'd like to see trading vanish, but it aint going to happen. Trading is here to stay and that's it. FST is never ever going to ban trading all together. So what can we do once that point is accepted? We can try to find some middle ground with staff and the BT community. That way the positives of this forum have a chance to shine without all the hate and pettiness.

By ending account trading it shows goodwill on the part of FST and it's members to torrenters everywhere. No one seriously expects it to end completely. Sure it may be done in PM's or whatever but at least FST isn't helping it by allowing it to flourish. I know that BT staff and many disillusioned members would see it as a huge step forward.

No,invite was give to that user and that user alone

I hate trading cos i lost my 1st private account that way.... but on FST ...even when you make a request ..the only replies i get are "wats your offer?"

So theres no choice but to become a trader

Now this is something I'm sure we all know is a hot topic, especially since we no longer have Community Reps anymore. I have heard it brought up over and over and sure this poll has been taken before, but I want an up to date view of what our members want and to see what could possibly be done about this. Also I know for some this can become a "heated" topic but make no mistake I will not tolerate ANY hostility in this thread only constructive posts please. I have always been for our members so this is your opportunity to show us what FST members want. It is anonymous so don't worry about anyone finding out how you voted.

I salute you for taking this step, maybe i was wrong when i said all FST staffers support trading.

+1 respect

and no account trading should not be allowed well that is the first step to make this a better place but i doubt this will happen anytime soon.

Wow, I just spent about 50 minutes reading through this topic. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but if you look at it this way maybe it will make more sense. This shouldn't be an argument between tracker staff and BT users. We are all part of the same community. Believe it or not tracker staff are just looking out for our best interest. They arent these nazi's on a rampage just trying to enforce rule after rule on a power strike.

Account trading hurts the tracker, which pisses the staff off, and eventually the user's feel the effects. Basically it hurts everyone in the Bittorrent world. If people could just be patient and not demand they get into every tracker withing a month of signing up here then there wouldnt be a problem

Another point is this, why would want to trade for an account to a place where people like you (who trade accounts) arent welcome? All the top sites people seek are mostly community based. If people really want in for the "community" as they put it then they would respect the communities wishes and not trade accounts.

Maybe a lot of people have trouble with the idea of respect. If you give respect you will recieve it. Alot of these staffers even went as far to look past invite trading (a lesser of two evils) so you traders can do what you want and not face consequence. For the most part they held up their side of the bargain so the least we can do is show them back come mutual respect and not trade accounts. I dont mean not trade because there is a rule not to trade accounts, but out of respect for our BT community.

It boils down to this? Are we here solely for our own best interests, or the best interest of the BT community as a whole? I suggest a lot of you really consider choosing the latter because if not your own selfish ideals will umtimately lead to everyone's downfall. In the end those trackers you so desperately sought out might not even exist anymore. Do you really want that on your shoulders?

Just my 2 cents

I can't see why not, if invite trading is allowed acc trading should be to.

Some member's were told they can trade certain invites or whatever, those that did not- even though there were offer's in the bt section that maybe w- be a so called good trades but those of us that did not should get credit for that and as Sear said," it makes fst more respected"-trusted for real mod's or admin's offering a invitation to the right member once in a while? Who knows. I would rather have track admin's look good on fst...
