Would you accept somebody else's tracker account?

[ca_aok]

Nah, more trouble than it's worth if you get caught.

I'd rather have the person just send me an invite before they quit the site.

If it was some crazy high level site with a nice buffer and had never made any forum posts and wasn't some vulgar screen name, then yeah sure I would take it...but odds of all those terms being met are not gonna happen

Ah I see,so your problem is getting caught.

But like you've started us off,I think the real question should be why shouldn't you accept somebody else's account?

[bitsman]

NO

i prefer invites

[X-Files]

yes. why not

[cinephilia]

Nope, but I guess some are desperate to get into X or Y tracker.
Some are so despaerate they would actually pay to get into a tracker

and i guess some are just happy to be able to leech with a comfortable margin.

Not really, I'm simply stating that if you just waited for an invite, you're much more likely to keep your account than you are if you accept one from someone else. It's a simple statement.

As for the question, because it's generally not allowed. You have a choice, just as we all do, whether you're going to break the rules of the communities you joined or follow them. Simple as that.

[Zaxx]

No. For the obvious reason of it being against the rules...but more so because I prefer to be known by MY nick and reputation not some one else's.

eh i honestly couldnt say... under the circumstances tippertime mentioned it might be hard to refuse...
i'm not saying i'd do it but i find it hard to believe that some(not all) of the ppl who mentioned they wouldnt would actually hold true to that if offered say an FTN account with a standard(simple, classy, nothing outlandish) nick etc especially if the possibility of invites was next to none in the future... it is not much different than giving an invite in essence as you are gaining an account through someone else

so i guess basically what i'm saying is that i would have to be put in a situation like this for me to truly answer this question but i doubt it... there is no tracker i am that interested in getting in right now so i'm satisfied with what i have it might be different if i were looking for something as many other are tho

Anonymous, I've been offered (for lack of better words) "high level accounts" before, and always respectfully refused. I have my own reputation, my own personality, my own expectations of how I am to behave on a tracker, that I don't expect others to adhere to.

The same applies the other way, I'm sure somebody giving away their account have just about the same criteria, and are not willing to have their name dragged through the mud for the sake of giving.

What I don't understand is this: If someone has an account, why not just get an invite? Not even the most anal tracker staff can say no to a polite, humble invite request when put forward the right way.
