Sell it in ebay to the highest bidder.

yeah, cos selling is frowned upon, but no one said anything about auctioning it

note that you can make an exception for BitSoup buffered accounts

If I signup to a site I don't like I try delacct.php, if that is not an option I simply ask Staff to either delete or disable the account.

No!no!no!don't listen to OMG you hypocrites...
If there is someone looking for it and is deemed to be a good user then i don't see why you should not give it away to the person other than let it go to waste,its like an invite only that you were kind enough to initiate the process of using the account before you got bored in the middle of the way and you just handed the drivers seat to someone else..so no biggie...
And yes alot of things are frowned upon by trackers even the fact that you are a member here could easily jeopardyise your bittorrent life...even invite giveaways themselves are frowned upon these days(ask yourself why those hypocrites are using different nicks here from those on their trackers),and especially the fact that the account is new makes it even more of a non-issue...this is FST dude,not TPS you misadvising hypocrites

...so long as u r giving it out of generosity and not expecting anything in return its perfectly okay...and u will notice the account will not get disabled either,especially with hdbits(worst staff by the way).i know for a fact they secretly allow sharing hence giving it away...secretly of course.

^^ Take no notice of him. Let the account die or have it deleted. The space created will soon be filled by another user.

simply cause trackers accounts are not toys, they are meant to be personnal.

@ Juscallmesez, how does not giving it away make them hypocritical

Saying you should just give it to someone else because it's a waste is the biggest load of toss I've ever heard. How is it a waste? The account gets disabled thereby creating space for someone else...simple really.

Think about your own personal safety as well. Your IP is forever tied to that account. If the person you've given it to messes up somehow then your IP will be tarnished. Staff will pass it along to other staff and viola. You lose invite privileges...you lose accounts at several trackers or staff even just suspect you of being scum and don't trust you in the future. For your own sake you should never give an account away it puts your reputation at risk.

funkin and his cronies become hypocritical when they start talking about the canonical tracker rules not allowing it,yet they themselves participate in trades and invite giveaways that are not allowed by the trackers either...don't you think its hypocritical of such people to lecture on tracker rules?i wouldn't pay attention to them really...

Are you serious?starving yourself to death yet you have an option?that's EMO...seriously,i don't see why he should let the account die,if he can find a person whom he can trust with the account,also how many times have you heard of people unsuccessfully asking for invites back to a tracker that they once held only that they let their accounts there die...if they gave it to a person whom they could trust,i don't think that person would mind inviting them back in..

the same befalls u if u invite an ass like funkin,so i dont see your point unless u mean he sells it to some stranger on ebay.i also doubt whether you yourself are on a static IP that could forever be tied to your account,so that IP argument is not solid IMO..just like invite giveaways,vet the person and u will be fine..

you lose accounts at several trackers or staff even just suspect you of being scum and don't trust you in the future

Stop this paranoia!

For your own sake you should never give an account away it puts your reputation at risk.

thats some good advice and i respect that though different from what i think,u are entitled to your own opinion still..
