I decide never to trade again~~``

Does your wife know or do you have one of those open marriages?


IdolEyes snickers under his breath because he merely harbors a schoolboy crush for him.
 
You are very welcome, charliebitme!

I believe your conclusion is a very good and responsible one. I have tried a couple of give-aways and have had mixed emotions. On one hand, it feels good to help people out. On the other, it can be very disappointing. If you look through my posts, you will see that I just closed the thread without giving away all that I had.

I think ultimately, it isn't about how many invites you give away, it comes down to finding good members who will make the community stronger and more enjoyable.

Feel free to pm me when you get through your first month, charliebitme.

Oh, cut the sh!t with this globan ban thing. Stop making childish posts like: dude, you got banned on the l33t X tracker. Now you will banned for life from the interweb from all your trackers. Like the Y tracker with 999k users gives a sh!t for that guy and what it had done.

So this 'global' ban works only on the few elite/high level trackers which you see on the WTAW thread and on those l33t wannabe ones.
Because those l33t ( and calling them l33t it's not a mocking ), so those l33t trackers are concerned about security, so a guy who trade or whatever he does which breaks their rules, it's a secury hole and it will be purged, and for the sake of security will inform their p2p friends about this.

So, these guys who promote the global ban are just kidz who wants their dream trackers, and those trackers are as high as it could be posible on the WTAW thread.

As for this guy who started this thread, it's childish what he is doing and maybe even making fun of you with this topic.
No one cares that you stoped / reloaded trading, no one but the guy who you will PM next time for an invite.

maddox's post pretty much sums up the "global" ban bullshit.

If he chooses to change, he can use public trackers until some new open sign-ups come along.

The point of private BT trackers has gone out the window, with users trading invites to get into the 'best' trackers.

Now the 'best' trackers are full of insecure users.

Thank you traders!

Again, I want to stress that redemption is something that is earned, not given. The individual holds much of the decision power in his/her own hands. It is then up to the community to decide if that member is genuine or not.

It is not enough to simply stop doing the objectionable action. Individuals who have violated community trust typically have to atone for their wrong doings. Again, it is up to the individual to take these positive steps and then it is up to the community to see if they are genuine.

Redemption is a great topic to study. It has been around ever since man started to gather in groups and form communities. It is a very common theme in both modern and classic literature. It is also frequently used television, and movies. The characters portrayed are almost always central to the story because they are dynamic (learning) and not static (unchanging). Even though a character learns something from his conflicts it does not mean that he will be successful or forgiven.

The act of redemption is not as important ( certainly in most movies and literature ) as the journey necessary to get one there.
That's why I don't think the word applies ( in a specific sense at least ) to being reinstated into trackers.

True redemption requires fundamental life altering change . It requires soul-searching and sacrifice .
It is a word of significance and to be used lightly.

Simply deciding that trading is counterproductive to one's e status and therefore stopping ( and hoping to be forgiven ) is hardly the same as ( for example) the trials faced by Andy Dufresne in The Shawshank Redemption as he struggles to reclaim his existential humanity.
 
Nobody really pays attention to 2-3 year old trade threads being dragged up if the member has been following rules and has no trades since. Go back 2-3 years ago and most non/anti traders use to trade themselves. It is also about respecting the person that gave the invite in the first place. To follow the rules.
