Good job. Now you can go and delete your account.
Simply because you both define "seeding" in a different way.
TV defines it as going the full way, and sharing to the extreme. In that regard, he is truly doing a favor by keeping the torrents alive when nobody else will.
You on the other hand are probably talking about seeding minimum requirements, which you do not see as a favor at all, because they really are not, and are required by just about everyone.
TV goes above and beyond the requirements, which is why he calls it a favor.
That's the way I see it.

For what reason would someone want to legitimately join ftn then?
*note* I have been using the word legitimate alot lately.... lol...
You, my friend, have just discovered why the WTAW thread is retarded. Good job. As for being a die hard What supporter, I enjoy Waffles too. But it's hard to support you when you've admitted publicly to breaking their rules and flaming their staff, and then try to convince other people here it's a terrible place in your own bitterness towards their moderators.
Aside from what I already mentioned, security is really the only reason. Remember that a smaller community doesn't necessarily mean a better community, it's simply easier to get to know all the regulars. Smaller sites generally mean dead IRC channels and a fairly spammy forum. Obviously there are exceptions, but funnily enough you'll find a much more active community on sites with 50K+ members (well... obviously). There's the argument that it's "better" because they're more selective therefore the members are cut from a better crop, but that's subjective.
Personally it's the only ratioless 0-day I really use, though I have accounts elsewhere. Mainly use it if I miss the pre on something, if I'm worried about not meeting seedtime restrictions, or if I want something big that might eat my ratio elsewhere, for example full TV seasons.
Funnily enough the people who would make the best use of an invite are also the people without connections in the torrenting world necessary to get an invite, and without the other more popular 0-day sites. Someone who'd use it as their primary 0-day would be a much better member than someone with SCC, TL, GFT, etc, who would just treat it as a trophy bookmark. Ditto goes with most "high level" sites. You need to be a very specific sort of member to fit in to the "amazing" communities at these places, and most of you simply don't have the disposition (nor do I in many cases). Ironically enough the places I thought were the best out of the bunch are now dead.
very well said .. FTN shouldnt be a trophy bookmark showing l337ness ... instead it should be the primary tracker for people who have crappy connection ...

Traders a big deal?
I can't tell you the direct impact as I'm not a member there...
But how can you expect members that break the rules the second they join to be good members (trading invites).
There are 10 trading threads for 1 request thread on this site. That is a major problem for a large site like ftn.
And then on top of that, the one request thread is being referred to Gft lol... This is a problem...
Reputable members on this website should be offered an invite, just on the basis that the majority of invites being used belong to traders currently.
Lol could you imagine getting banned for that.
With that rule in place, I gaurantee that 99.9% of their members are breaking the rules.
(00.1% haven't downloaded a torrent yet lol)
That isn't a rule, that's save face to uphold in a court as such that they weren't supporting copyright infringement, just supporting sharing of legally acquired/owned files. Of course, it doesn't work, but it helps a little bit.

TrueSounds said:What's the problem in giving incentives for donors? If someone invites a bad seed, staff will obviouslydo something about it.. whatever will keep the site running through this recession.
Because the right way to do it is through the same announcements via "private" invite forums
Very well said TrueSounds, don't know why some cut their veins if FTN decides to reward those who donate with invites. After all they are ones that keep it alive. If they will invite bad seeds those will come upon their reputation.

i fully agree with u
more over i think people who have invite of FTN, are all very selective in whom they select to give the invites.
and when we are very selective in giving invites, we loose those people who would really make a good stand at such prestigious sites.
I have myself been very selective in giving invites of some high level trackers and i have found that when we are extra cautious then we loose good users and land up nowhere.
anyway this is a general human mentality and i am not an exception
cautiousness during handing out such invites is surely a must.
But extra cautiousness proves to be a problem at times.
i didnt see your signature ...
Idol do you think a member would have more chance of getting into ftn if:
1) they put up a legitimate request on the giveaway forums.
or
2) Traded some high level trackers, and some laundered money through seed boxes for an ftn invite.

Shut up before you make yourself look any more idiotic than you already have. :-/
The only legitimate reason is the lack of any seedtime restrictions. You can hit and run with no consequences, which comes in handy in certain situations where you may not be able to leave your computer on for a while. Anyway, since it's very unlikely anything good will come of a request here, my advice is: join PTM.
