Should Acct trades be allowed here?

[puckface]

Yes. Period.

Quote from Skizo:
We don't owe you anything.

We don't owe any tracker anything.

Our main focus is FST, nothing else. That focus includes helping our members and being an informative resource for file sharing information all-around. The CR rank was all give on our part and required absolutely nothing from you or any other tracker staff member. You should be happy that it lasted as long as it did as you all got what you wanted and didn't have to do anything to get it.

Basically he is saying that FST has no business and does not care what tracker rules are, that nothing is required and FST is the main focus. If this is true, this poll should not even be here.

I know that you believe that you understood what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Making a point that we owe them nothing and saying we don't care at all about their rules are two completely different ideals.

now that you clarify, thats fine, but thats how it sounded to me. so thanks for setting me straight.

so let me ask this, if trading gets taken away, will giveaways also be banned since a lot of trackers say that you should only give your invites to people you know personally? Not to mention account giveaways.

predictably, a vast majority of those against trading, here and in the forums are those who already have the trackers they want

You're confusing cause and effect mate.
It's because those members don't trade that they have the high level accounts, not the other way around.

According to OP's post this poll is only about account trading (and I guess account giveaway). Invites trading/giveaway was not mentioned.

I like most of the older members here voted no, of course I vote no, I can see the wider picture, allowing a/c trading here has hardened the attitudes of the tracker staff, that you so want to join, there are no more staff giveaways, do you see staff helping in the bt help threads any more? Think about it from a larger perspective rather than your own personal wants, if the situation continues then when an a/c trader is found his a/c's will disappear on a network of trackers.
Simply put a/c trading hurts the integrity of the trackers, therefore they will actively hunt a/c traders period. Unlike puckface I believe that FST is apart of the BT community and it now has the choice to be a forum that helps the community or can descend into a trading forum.
If it becomes purely a trading forum then the staff participation will purely be to track traders and notify those that have been caught that their a/c is gone and that other a/c's will shortly follow, this situation I personally will be sad to see, even in this section staff used to participate as much as the users, but do you see Brandon or Vidde laughing and joking here anymore ?
As others have said think carefully before you vote, and think not just of yourselves and what you want in the short term but what is best for FST and the BT community as a whole.

Thank you sir. But, Im just bringing up an alternate point. The point being.. Rules are Rules.

No

Recently I have lost a lot of respect towards fst and how their staff handles stuff

They pointed out that they dont care about the trackers which is really the base for fst

Well if they dont give respect they wont earn respect

That is not the base of FST.

The Invites section is just one of many sections. Have you seen the rest of the forum?

Yeah I did and yet more then 60-70% of activity is in the bittorrent section

I say no...for all the reasons stated above which I don't see the need to repeat ad nauseum. I would like to add that it shouldn't be allowed for the simple reason that it lowers FST's rep in the BT community. It paints it's members in such a light where they have to fear for their tracker accounts just for being a member.

Anyone who truly cares about the direction of this forum should want it to have a better reputation and relationship with trackers, right? It's interesting that znick called it a vendetta in many ways that's true. I'll just remind you a vendetta is often a fight to the death.

i say NO
