Every tracker should have a "guest" account

Is it possible to get, a guest account whit a reasonable buffer on a major leet 0-day tracker please?
( needs to be leet so i can get chicks )
To whom should i forwarded this message ?
 
A guest account will only work with sites where security is not that much of a priority(take CN or maybe demonoid for example).
Otherwise in places where hard disks get microwaved at the slightest hint of intrusion its an idea thats D.O.A.

Perhaps the best alternative to this would be a video tour,just that its not shot by a cheap ass camera phone.

Thanks for your incredible input :rolleyes: If you haven't noticed, I'm trying to get feedback and get a discussion going. I "respect" stoi and his decisions, BCG is personally one of my favorite trackers and I think the staff their is great. I'm just providing my thoughts on the topic. If you think my ideas are completely wrong, it would help to back up your claims.

one aspect is that of this flawed inquiry is that, this would not satisfy any traders/collectors in anyway. the idea of trading is to use trackers as money more or less. how would this, a guest account solve anything? collectors just grab what they can when they can, don't matter if they need or want it.. so again how would address this? and as feeling pointed out it wouldn't be a private tracker if they did this.. now would it? and for many other people who don't quite fit into either of them categories.. they look at that WIAW thread and they are lost... lol

we really are not in the business of giving tours! for better or worse and whether we like it or not, there is enough info, SSs and other bits and pieces out ther for a user to make a "EDUCATED DECISION" on whether or not a specific tracker is for them.. PERIOD!

so, as was said previously ..... this thread is stupid indeed
 
I guess on something like BCG it wouldn't be too necessary. That's a good point. It is for, well, games :lol:.

But for sites like PTN, bitme, ftn, ftwr, fsc or any other tracker that has weird content (like bitme) or is "community" based (like FSC), not all people really want to join the community. They just go "zomg its rare must be good cause its lvl 10 in wtaw". If they actually looked at a guest account and see that it's serves a completely different purpose (doesn't necessarily mean its bad) than say TL or SCT, they may change their mind instead of trying to trade to get it, or collecting it than leaving it mostly inactive.

As for your other point, guest accounts could be public (or just put on the homepage of the site). Members could just tell potential invitees the details (or they might be leaked out, but as I said before I don't really think that'll compromise the tracker).

As to your "PS", whether its mocking or not, I'd much rather post at FST than in a tracker forum. I just like it better. It's more open, anyone can post in response to me, and you don't have to worry about being banned by anyone, so theres no asskissing. Just straight, to the point voicing of your deepest, darkest opinions ;)
 
If used correctly i would be very good to potencial new users and for trackrs itself.
But unfortunetly there are alot of morons and dumb ass childs coming everyday to bittorrent world that made this situation unrealistic.

@duckater, in a fight in wich, youre completely right, you will never win.

Proof off that, where the many stupid bans at hdbits, or waffles, there was a mistake on their side, still, they didn't
 
I see both sides. I am one of the people who invited some one to BCG, and the account was logged into a few times, but eventually pruned due to inactivity. Could a guest account have saved me from inviting this person? Maybe. But on the same token, they should have known it was all games, and knowing that, they should have used it once they got it.

I dunno, word of mouth and screen shots should be enough of a 'demo' of a tracker, more feasable then a guest account.
 
But most people that want view trackers from here are after the 1337 trackers and they not really after members other than thru invites to trusted members if they want any at all :)
 
Stoi tried, but, the action itself, its like giving money to an homeless, instead off giving him a free dinner.

Respect Stoi.
