site owners need to have trusted staff that can bring some people in if the opportunity presents itself but unless a tracker is brand new or in dire need to get new people i dont think a recruiter should ever be needed on a site. with that said the majority of new members should come from referrals, i dont agree with people having random invites sitting on their accounts to do with whatever they please.

I am new here on FST and just getting back into torrent sites after a long time of solely relying on usenet for my needs. I've noticed that some of the sites that I used to use are now closed and very difficult if not imposible to get into.

Anyway my piont is that from my side of the fence it would be nice to be given a chance to prove myself and probably for many other people that want to get into certain trackers too.

Saying that would it be possible some how to make all new users prove themselves by uploading say 10-20GB before they can download anything at all? I realise this would be difficult because without the new user having any files downloaded first they would obviously not be able to seed. I can't think of a way around that off the top of my head atm but if it were possible in some way I think the thought of having to upload 10-20GB before gaing access to any torrents would put off many undesirables and dupe accounts would not be of much value to people either as they would be useless untill the upload requirement is reached.

Yeah, you are right, I agree.

I want to chat with stoi because a chat allows for real time communication and it has to be private because it doenst concern anybody else on FST.

I'm all for honesty and that but seriously dude you post that confession in a thread by the site owner at which you cheated designed to provoke ideas on how to get rid of users like you from trackers for good and expect to be invited to the site again.

WTG Goose, if you get back I'll eat my hat !

honestly there is no 100% way i mean people could be the biggest cheats but still appear as a good user or a great user maybe with a bad connection could appear as a bad one...its the internet sadly you cant really trust many people if any at all

and thats just on the seeding ratio side of things

i do think that people who invite need to be much more aware of the invitees once on they are on the site and if something goes wrong they cant be afraid to alert staff just cause some rule says they will be banned for inviting a bad user or something im sure the staff would be happier you alerted them instead of them having to find out themselves....but i may be wrong idk im not a staff member nor have i ever been put in that situation
