I mean if you were to ask someone very nicely not to do something( however innocuous) and they went ahead and did it anyway what would your opinion of them be?That's all I'm really getting at here, otherwise I couldn't agree more with you.

And I agree with you, just an alternate point.

I think its called common courtesy. If a site asks for anonymity why not give it to them. What is the point of posting a review or the full name of a site that most members here are not going to get into anyway.

You've been around long enough that you should have realised by now that tracker staff don't want their sites to be "rare"....and not all sites are the same. Most of what you would call "rare" sites have a lot less members than those who don't care about publicity. There is a different atmosphere on these sites and they want it to stay that way.

Seems like you are looking at it from a traders perspective not a members perspective.

I think they got fed up with the way they would post something and like a page later he would post the exact same thing.

The whole "I'm a fucking badass for posting images against tracker wishes behind a fake name, my e-peen is 20 feet long" mentality is the real problem. Really, what's the point of exposing them if they'd rather be left alone? So it can be added to WTAW for more traders to slobber over?

Common courtesy I have no problem with, I just have a problem with courtesy for some and not for others.

Secondly, I used "rare", but I did use other descriptors so please read my whole post, it would be appreciated. My point, in case you missed it is the same as above, why are some sites special and some not?

My post was just a simple comment on equality, if you need to look deeper into it, then so be it.

How would it increase your "e-peen" if it's under a fake nick? If I were to post a review, it would be an exposing one for a site with staff who are self righteous ego ridden fucks. But luckily other people will post reviews for those sites, and I can be lazy about it and do nothing.
