what does caring abt a tracker entail?

I don't know what stoi meant (I'm not inhis head), but caring for a tracker is basically being genuinly interested in a tracker ... having some friends on a tracker, being active on a tracker.
Caring about what kind of members are part of the tracker so you know it is safe for you to post things you might not post on a public tracker. Being able to download/seed things, without major concerns for your safety, because not every nitwit can join the tracker in question and the tracker staff care for their members too.

You R confusing community with trackers ...A strong community is a addon to the primary purpose of the tracker which is to share files incase that was lost among all the community bullshit that goes on around here ..
If u dont want the files and just the community you would be better off with your own regional forums .. Regarding safety its the staff concern ans nothing to do with us caring abt the tracker ...

Let's say sharing is caring ... but I only share when I know it's safe to do so ... by trading you are geopardising the security of the tracker by bringing in new members that werent supposed to be there in the first place.
Bringing that kind of members in could bring down the tracker what would be felt like a loss to some (the ones who care, the others would just move on), but could also result in me being prosecuted for sharing my stuffz, and I ould like to avoid that scenario.
A trackers safety isn't only the staff's concern imo ... if you truly believe that you're wrong.

Where in my post have i talked about trading .. Its common sense that trading poses a security risk .. I am asking what does caring entail and not about Trading ..
Again the point i mentioned was that according to you : being active on a tracker(apart from seeding/leeching) , making friends is all for the community and not necess. translates into caring abt a tracker

Caring about a tracker is both seeding/leeching and being an active part of the tracker-community ... but as I stated before that's what I believe to be caring for a tracker. Being concerned for it's well-being, having fun, sharing your stuff with like-minded people or even friends.

He's not banned ... he's disabled, whatever that means ... I believe it has something to do with spreading false accusations but I am not sure.

Ok i will answer this.

Community encompases.

using the tracker, as in downloading stuff from that tracker, not just grabbing it elsewhere and helping seed with a seedbox for 2 days so you can get to the higher classes and do nothing else on it.

helping your fellow members out, if you downloaded something and it works, someone else puts in the comments, it does not work, you say it does and explain how you got it to work, and talk them through it.

helping fellow members out on the forums, for the same as above for for bittorrent and tracker queries, and anything else they may want help with.

Coming into IRC, and getting involved in live chat now and again, you dont have to be in there 24/7 just pop in now and again see how everyone is doing, see who is in, and just have a laugh. (or again help out if need be).

Upload your own stuff, and keep an eye on the comments, but also take the bad with the good comments, as we all get them and throwing your toys out the pram with 1 bad comment is just silly.

Keeping files on your hdd, keep an eye on the torrents needing seeds, if one pops up that you have, get back on it and help them out, dont just get to a 1 ratio and delete the things.

basically getting yourself involved as much as you can, even asking questions when your not sure on something, getting to know other members and the staff, and most of all, enjoying your experience.

honestly if trackers were just all about the tracker and the files more importantly and nothing else, we all may as well just use Emule.

bottom line is, there is a lot of things that encompass community, use your imagination.

Regarding safety its the staff concern ans nothing to do with us caring abt the tracker ...

and that response there is a typical traders response, just trying to justify that your actions are not damaging to a tracker.

honestly how many trackers do yous want for crying out loud, i heard that 1 trader would not be happy until he had 5 accounts on every tracker, ffs whats the point, go and collect pokemon cards instead. (but i forgot, that costs you money, your trading for things that are free, thats why its so stupid.

Although I absolutely agree with the rest of the points in your post stoi, this is exactly the same thought that I have always had whenever someone defends a lack of activity (forum, irc etc.) on the idea that a tracker is all about teh filez and that community is bullshit. If just getting the files is your only concern and yet you have to have every tracker in existence to download them from then you are missing the whole point of being part of a private torrent tracker.
In fact some private trackers are now changing their rules to reflect the fact that they want members who are active on the tracker and the forum, FtN is one recent example of this but there are others and in order to gain invites etc you have to actually participate.

well i will be honest, Forum posts are a good way to measure for promotions but..

a lot of people dont like forums at all

I can just forsee lots of spam crappy posts spouting up in the first 30 minutes of putting something like that on.

but saying that, we are thinking about doing something similar.

read the new ranks/class names thread in the global announcements forum. not just the 1st post either, there is a table in there somewhere with what we have planned.

But it wont really be for "Higher Ranks" or people get bonuses because they have a higher rank (like invites, saying as though users get invites or the PU or whatever) everyone will be even, just members with different achievments (sp).

its planned, whether or not it will ever come off though is a different matter lol

[Detale]

Stoi reading your posts I wish I used BCG. I should go buy an Xbox or PS3 or something damnit!

[TheGood]

don't think you can play pirated ps3 games yet.

well its this sort of thing that does my head in

why ask here, when we have a Forum and IRC.

its not that bad of a question to ask, he said he done it because he may get a faster response, but why, lucky i was on here at the time, or it would not have been fast at all.

it just boggles the mind sometimes.
