A disclaimer

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.

His "friends" would know about it...you always tell someone when you screw up.

Idol rocks BTW.
 
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.

Please no one say tracker rules, every site I belong to has a clause somewhere in their rules to not openly discuss the site.. but people only respect the wishes of some of those sites.. I don't care how "rare" your tracker is or if you think that your tracker is the shit or you think you are special, all sites are the same and should be treated as such.

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'm on the fence about this. I do agree that these reviews can lead to the over hyping of some trackers, but FST was built on freedom to share information about all types of filesharing and sites. To censor information because a site wants you to, why not go all the way and get rid of the trading seciton as well? Trackers dont want that here, and it also leads to many 'sour grapes' as well, dont you think?

Take the good with the bad IMO, leave things as they are.
 
well, let's not turn this discussion into disagreement ... i think IdolEyes is on to something positive.. no need for people to start getting defensive..
 
OK the sarcasm is starting to bore me, but cinephilia if you want people to take you seriously then making up words doesn't help......

It would save me a lot of time if people actually read my posts *properly* before commenting. ;)

I just SAID myself that FST won't change, lol...I left it open to ANY sort of action that you could take (to put your own philosophies into practice), and what I was more meaning was something like leaving staff, actually. (what else can you do, in terms of taking action [if you DO want to take action)?)

Discussion is nice, even though, er, it's been done to death (and back)...but it's nice to see your view and your concerns. But I wonder if you'll end up leaving staff like Detale...
 
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?
 
Personally I think that new type of idea they were working on implementing over a year ago was a step in the right direction.
Forget what it was called.
It has the sites acronyms, users, pretimes etc.. all listed.
(Although most of the info was incorrect for alot of sites.)
It was a good idea. Maybe they could take it a step farther and maybe list the type of files the sites get too.
For instance you see X site has good pretimes but you only download HD files. You wouldn't exactly go looking for a waffles account whatever their lvl is because its music.
(Would make alot more sense listing by content and not by what the invites are worth to traders.)
 
While I agree that the cons of posting a review of such a site outweigh the cons and would thus not do so myself I have always been massively annoyed by censorship of any kind so I would never advocate abstinence either. Just calculate how much you want to post whatever you post, how detrimental it could be to you and others, and this way the post will at least be educated. To some extent. I think I'm kinda rambling. Whatever, just my two cents.
 
Well, never being one to runaway and hide if I am wrong........ I stand corrected cinephilia, you must be inebriated by the locquaciousness of your own vituperation :naughty:
 
Another disclaimer.

Fine by me and since you apparently think I have the power I'll also get rid of all stupidity and pettiness and end world hunger too while I'm at .

@ MM I thought that was a step in the right direction as well . I also believe ( although I could be wrong)lthat it was Detale's idea.
 
Do you really feel it is necessary to stoop down to nitpicking on other peoples grammar in order to counteract their arguments? Is that what people on mature and exclusive forums do? :unsure:
 
Like I said personal ethos.If someone politely requests that I don't specifically do something and it doesn't hurt anyone not to do it then personally I would think myself a total jerk if I didn't comply .

Maybe I'm not looking at the bigger picture, maybe I'm a naive idiot but that's how I chose to live my life or rather the minuscule the part of my life that I have any control over.

Literally . After a day of dealing with the average member here I sit in a dark corner and rock back and forth .

@hagckz0r I assure you I am the last person that you ever need to apologize to for being off topic.:whistling

All words are made up ,the only difference that some have been in use longer than others. Undercomprehend.?
 
I was simply pointing out that if you start censoring, where do you draw the line? If you start bending to trackers wishes where do you draw that line?
Yes, it was an absurd suggestion, and was ment to be taken as sarcasm, but I guess you missed that...
 
Artemis said:
Then the reverse is surely true, if you see all sites as the same, why did you trade for them, or did they once have a value to you but no longer ?
I don't mean this question with any sort of malice truly, it just seems to me that your position now, and your former position as a trader are diametrically opposed ?
Click to expand...

Didn't see this yesterday so excuse my delayed response. Firstly, who said my position of a trader was former or current? Whether I do or don't has no bearing on this discussion. But I will answer that they are not opposed since the reason I ever did trade was due to curiosity and the easiest way of obtaining a cure to said curiosity. I still see noting wrong with it.

Having a "value" as you put it is merely a measure of how difficult it is to enter a certain tracker is what I think you meant. I can understand that reaction, but the point here is privacy matters not value. Shouldn't all trackers have their privacy wishes granted and some others not? Or should it be a free for all? These are questions that I cannot answer for myself, they are just something to think about as I stated somewhere earlier. Lots of people break tracker rules everyday here, who am I to say what is right and wrong, all Im saying is that we do it equally.
