I'll clear something up here...
Silence contacted me a few minutes after I made my last post in this thread. My comments must have struck him as he had done something wrong. He is still very new here, and is still trying to learn what is right and wrong.
I suggested that he take back the account and start the new member with an invite. I told him that giving accounts away was VERY similar to trading- trackers have no way of telling who is on their tracker, and these pumped-up accounts can be used to "proof" what a good user they are. Nobody wins.
Bottom line: I am ALL for helping out the new member. If he needs it, I can give him an invite to Demonoid myself. No problems.
Silence's intentions were good- he simply wanted to give the new user a leg-up. He now knows that that is frowned upon, and I doubt he will do such a thing again. I am happy he was willing too listen to some of the older voices around here, and correct his mistake. Now, no negative comments need to be made to either the new member, or Silence- both are now following good community norms.
If
anyone is to blame for Silence's "welching" it is me. I instructed him to do so. I will gladly make things right with the Requester, if need be.
