btmusic's invites

I love quality of uploads on Pedro's, but with some of the politics in running the site, I have to wonder what the purpose of being a member is. It's not like a site with uploaders, VIP and staff only would run very well.

You'd be surprised. That's more or less how E runs.

You seem to be under the impression that you "deserve" invites just because you have an old account. Not sure how you got that impression, quite frankly I was surprised they had that system in the first place. Invites are a privilege, not a right. They were taken a way in part because too many crappy people were being invited.

You want invites? Try uploading. You only have to upload one CD every 3 months to maintain the status... if that's a huge burden for you perhaps you should rethink how committed you are to the site.

As for overseeding, don't even get me started on that.
 
What do you mean"who has them"? Are you asking for a invite? If you are you are in the wrong section. If not then be more specific.
 
Well I think it was a really shitty thing to do to longtime members. I have been onthe tracker for well over 100 weeks and still got my inviting privileges taken away for being below uploader class. I can understand changing the 100 days rule to a higher number, maybe to a year or something like that, but I really don't think taken them away from every normal user is a good thing. It makes the tracker stagnate.
 
Actually it isn't how E runs. I have never felt that way about E. I have never got my ratio red from seeding too much from albums, that I seeded for ages and often as only seed. I have had one invite request rejected, but after talking it over with staff explaining my motives, I was asked to apply for same invite again, this time being granted.

If you think my ratio went red on Pedro's from seedboxing new torrents then think again.

Those sites are not comparable at all.

Since I have 0 invites in my account and haven't since that stupid rule was put in place, no not really. I may not have been an uploader on there ever, but I sure have invited people who have uploaded new stuff and have kept lots of things alive for a long long time... well that is until I started getting overseeding warnings for being the only seeder on 8 month old stuff and someone grabbing it putting me over 3.0 ratio limit. I got so pissed off, I deleted most torrents and went on a hit n' run downloading spree to get to around 2.0 ratio.

Why feel bad about shutting your client down, when that's how much you are appreciated at some of the sites.

And IPs? I haven't got the faintest idea what that is.
