*edit, its listed at the top now

Looking for a rapidshare account...
Have HDbits invite on December 21st...

What about that....

Instead of saying selling for $15 dollars he says he wants a rapid share account.
So for $15 dollars anyone can get into hdbits???? Is this not selling?

anyone can go and buy a premium account right now, and have a hdbits invite on the 21st....

This may even be easier to launder money in as it sells alot more frequently and easily.

what about:

https://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/f-bit...ighlight=steam
https://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/f-bit...ighlight=steam

The one guy only trades with steam accounts it seems.. A little fishy hummm??

Invite sellers, selling in broad day light.

Yes that's selling too just like trading a seedbox for an invite and it's shit. I could go on and on about this but staff here know how I feel about that kind of thing. There was many an argument about it back in the day.

Basically it's selling they deserve to be banned but the powers that be on this board won't stop it because they don't want to. Though I think trading for rapidshare accounts was/is banned.

Ok, I think that's enough discussion around here.
I'm sure this thread could go on and on, but we would be going around in circles.

There are several valid interpretations of the current issue. And I underline, valid, that were discussed on the thread. The poll itself, let's face it, is a close tie. Technically, ~60% of the people who voted defend he shouldn't be banned. (there are a shitload of interpretations, but let's stand by that one)

My interpretation of the facts, after reading the whole thread twice (sux to be mod on these occasions ): TVCY indeed proposed a sale, at a shite forum where invite selling is condoned and even encouraged.
Later, he admitted he did it with the intent of potentially becoming staff there, as another thread he opened suggests. He also admitted he hadn't the intention on going ahead with the sale, but that I truly find hard to believe. It's a subjective interpretation, and I think the whole majority here agrees on this one.

His registration date there is previous to the one he has here, so I feel inclined to believe (I'm a soft heart) that something he learned while being here. Hopefully, something positive.

Technically speaking, there aren't evidences he sold anything, but I bet 99% of the sellers caught out there were banned just for merely mentioning the word "sale". Nothing to object.

The line comes when it has to be decided if we take in account what the users do outside of FST. Clearly, there isn't a simple answer to this problem, and common sense often dictates the course of action.

What must prevail? Or what should we try to achieve on this particular case?
Banning the member is a false solution. It isn't either a solution to FST, and neither to the trackers potentially affected (all of them). It isn't a solution to FST, because clever asses know how to cover their tracks and get back in. After all, this site is open signup. Usually, their life span is quite short, if the other users play it smart and report shady situations. More than that, though your usual BT mods are always on the lookout, can be sometimes a matter of gut feeling and a LOT of research. There's some very advanced tools at our disposal, but they can never replace personal judgment when doubts arise.
It isn't a solution to the trackers either, because obviously there are more places out there than FST. All we'd achieve would be a regretful person, that isn't going to leave BT because he was banned here. A person that wouldn't have any reasons not to sell, who had learned from his mistakes, and decided to play it smart this time. Harder to catch maybe. That wouldn't have helped a bit the trackers.

By allowing him to stay, and thus not having to run and hide, while jeopardizing everyone's security, I personally believe he can be nurtured here to correct his ways. I'm sure he will keep his word of closing his account at that ugly site, and at any other similar one he might be a member at. I haven't dug this out yet, but I will.
Allowing him to stay, while on a somewhat long probation period, is the course of action that will be taken.

I hope you understand this is being done for the whole greater of the community, not only FST's interests. Some will agree with me, some won't. Some will say FST shelters sellers (it's trendy to badmouth this place on "leet" IRC channels), some will say FST is trying to avoid a potentially bigger problem for everyone. Some see farther than others do.

This might not be the solution some were hoping for, but I'm all for second chances. Users that have clearly harmed FST, like bumrocks did, and constantly lied to us, were given a second chance, from some of you who are now voting to ban TVCY. I find that hypocrite, to say the least. Factually, TVCY didn't harm in any way FST, yet. And we're trying to avoid that it might happen, and avoiding harm to the trackers.

For a conclusion, the user wasn't caught attempting to sell here. It was somewhere else. If he'd attempted to do it here, this thread wouldn't have been open in the first place.


Now, I could close this, but I won't, unless this isn't going anywhere.

[kurdt]

disabled privs is the way to go! good choice, it's he one i voted for - option with least votes wins!

[Benjamin]

I think it is obvious that at this point my intentions were not with money

Sure

I really could care less if you sell invites or not dude, if you're truly sorry you should be apologizing to the waffles staff. I would've voted to let you stay with disabled privs incase you try to exploit the newbies here, I see that's already been done. Take it easy.

[Tv Controls you]

Ok, guys, you won! As you cannot read the rules prior to do anything, here is the deal:

changing user name = $10 USD
deleting account = $5 USD

What should I do?

Untill you decide cabalo, I'm changing every post to periods

[sez]

Well this is embarrassing.Just let that account be tvcy,its existence or non-existence is inconsequential.
What you need is a fresh start.Once the dp has been removed you could always create a new account,history tells us that there is no redemption on fst so don't sweat it.
Personally I don't think you are an invite seller,however only you and you alone knows this for sure.
A fresh start means losing all those accounts you ever bought(assuming you did) as well as those you ever sold on(assuming you did).

Why have the fucking poll if youre going to disregard it? Once again Ill use the word. Hypocrites.

[IdolEyes787]

Why have the fucking poll if youre going to disregard it?

Entertainment value?
Btw since the poll was first opened it's become apparent that TVCY is hardly a noob at bt and as such probably did what he did with a total understanding of what invite selling meant .
@puckface since I did not create the poll and have not wavered in my opinion( although Cabalo does make some very good points) I hardly see any personal hypocrisy here.

As for trading/invite selling that goes on at this site .Nothing short of allowing mods access to PMs ,which ain't going happen, will ever totally stop it .
