Most trackers who pursue traders just do so because it's the 'thing' to do. A standard has been set, and they want to fit in, because doing otherwise could get them 'excluded'. Some of the trackers that are the most active in trader hunting aren't even all that popular or difficult to get into through normal means, hell they even hold open signups. I'm not saying all are like that, personally I'm against trading, but a lot of the trader hunting is just to fit in or feel important. Personally I don't like it because I feel each account should be a single individual, and I've recently been having doubts about global banning just for trading invites. Sure, places don't want to be used as currency, and they want to ensure their member quality, but the chance of a terrible member getting in via normal invitation means is just as likely as one trading in. Often people just don't realize it, it's not really uncommon for friends from IRC chat rooms and stuff that aren't really hardcore into the torrent scene to just go 'Hey, I've got this invite, and you've got that one, how about we swap?' I mean people who constantly do it on trading forums to 'move up the ladder' obviously don't have a whole lot of respect for the rules, but people who do things like I mentioned above just don't know any better. The only reason I'm bringing that little rant up is because it's not uncommon these days to see someone who says something along the lines of 'Yeah I gave my friend x and he gave me y' in an interview for a site or something to get shit on.

I'm a little mixed on public giveaways as well. I'm completely against ones that require no sort of proofs because you have no real idea whether that person is capable, but I also feel it's somewhat exclusionary for those who are not on any private trackers or may have slow connections and are great members in the long run, and it's also not terribly hard to pass on fake proofs especially if the person has no account on the sites you're using proofs from.

Overall, none of them *really* put most sites at risk, the only risk is mainly involved in the smaller, closer communities, and essentially 'unkowns' getting in that they may not want in their closed community.

I will say I have no reservations or tolerance for cheating and invite selling though.

tl;dr: Just some random person expressing their views that you probably don't care about.

^ This is the "harsh reality" of BT :rolleyes:

Staff that just lose their sense of self and forget that just like everyone else, they're only one person, sitting on their ass behind a computer. Wherever have I seen this before.

Anyways,if you are up for it,am calling you out to vindicate the relevancy of closed,secret bittorrent forums.

The only thing you got right about revolt is it is a forum, a private one but it is not even close to being a secret bittorrent forum & in fact just because the misinformed majority believed it was that, and only that, the invitations forum was disabled years ago THERE IS NO SECRET BIT TORRENT INVITATIONS forum on revolt so no justification is needed.
And how exactly did we get from the end of TorrentiT, and how sad it is to see yet another tracker go, to this sideshow ? It seems this is the chance for every nut to come out & air what ever perceived greivance he has had,
News of the day: it's a hobby RAB !

How about no one make anymore threats since the threats and the posting of screenshots in retaliation are both pointless , childish , counterproductive, stupid etc etc.

Seriously if anyone has personal vendettas to settle take them someplace else.

the threats are entertaining and the screenshots are informative. General bittorrent!
 
I feel like I could have accomplished many more productive things then reading this thread in full. I feel like it should be an insult that this type of negligence and nonsense is tolerated. I don't really have any background in any type of 'BT Politics' nor do I have any intentions to engage in such discussions. Just my 2 cents on this abysmal situation. If my post requires any contribution to the content herein, its this: do not waste your time.
 
meh, thats why I don't personally believe in percentages. If they survey 100 people they will quote that data as a national percentage, shit if the surveyed 1,000,000 people (next to impossible) it still isn't an accurate number. I think the US population is over 300,000,000 now so it's ridiculous if you think about ANY percentage of people being accurate...sorry I brought it up.
 
Actually statically speaking ,a smaller sampling of a big group gives a better chance of accuracy than a larger one as you are only bring in the possibility of more variables.Conversely the smaller the group the larger the sampling required.
I know it sounds the opposite to what it should be but think about and you should get the idea.
So for a population the size of the US ( I'm cheating here and using a online calculator) to be off by no more than 5% ninety-nine times out of a hundred you only need to survey 664 people.
As opposed to a population of 100 where you would need to poll 87 of them.
 
Again you didn't read about me never being in IRC, so you automatically assume I spend lots of time there. Wrong again. Also I don't feel the need to look cool to any friends. I did however feel the need to state the obvious before, especially since you are so narrow minded, that ... well what I wrote in above post.
 
I have to agree with Cabalo here (who would have thought eh?). Sportyloves comes off as childish to me too. I am against trading also, but I don't think a person looses his humanity when he trades tracker invites. Errare humanum est, right?

Not everyone is an idiot just cause they post here. At least in your second post you said that there are so many morons, which is less than everyone, I guess. Swearing doesn't impress me, though.

As far as the BT police goes, I don't find that so wrong, as long as the people doing it don't have a hidden agenda. I don't know that many Revolt people to be able to tell, though (but those that I do know seem good people to me).
