    Lately, i have seen a lot of members requesting invites to sites they were/are a member of.
    How can they really know if the member they are considering inviting does not have a FST account registered under another alias?

    I only have 1 account on FST! I have no need for more than 1 account here or on any site!

    If anyone is going to do a giveaway-check members post history-get profile links.

    Also members making requests with only 10 posts here. Thought you needed 20 or more posts and a member for thirty days to access the BT invite section?

    I think reqs changed.

    Concerning inviting people from FST, you have to be really careful, if you consider your invites valuable. It's really easy for a cheater/trader to have duplicate accounts.

    they didn't built Rome in one day

    Alot sign up for dupe accounts so they can get accounts from the traders...They then signup for another account which is an "anti-trader" account and get accounts from the Anti-Traders as well.Its how they beat the odds they get accounts from both parties.

    Some people have several FST accounts.Personally I've never understood why it been allowed.
    Hopefully some staff member will enlighten me.

    the requirement changed a while ago, you used to need a star and be on for 30 days but that was back in the day for the invite trade section, before they added the giveaway and request section, today you just need to be a member for 30 days, its fine cuz
    usually members who request something and have 3 posts wont get in anyway.

    about the dup accounts, there is really no way of knowing if the memeber doesnt make any mistakes that give it away
