That's true as well. As long as they don't have us as members they are best. :frusty:

I'm glad you agree . Now if you can just stop quoting out of context we might be actually getting somewhere.

Sorry if I fail to give the topic the proper respect it deserves btw .

Actually I've forgotten what the topic is but I figure that statement is a pretty safe bet.
Thinking about making it my sig.
 
I won't read through the posts here, as there are too many. My reply is based on the first post and nothing else.

It's too bad you used to trade as it's a very bad thing. But at least you realized that so I'll give you credits for that. I hope more traders will follow you and quit trading. Get friends instead, then you'll automatically get invites as you become good friends with people. Get involved in forums and IRC. Be nice. Don't troll/cheat/trade. Follow the site rules. And you will get invited - without trading. :)

You decide good! Now you must regain trust of those who decide not trading before many many winters ago.

Seriously, time will tell if you can really go on without trading. The next few months will prolly be rough.

PS: Don't expect to get dozens of invites now.

Ignore all of the posts except this one, superkiller1!

You made some mistakes, but you can redeem yourself. Don't expect people to see that you have changed right away. You definitely want to be a "good" community member. Do some give-aways, help people with questions, make sure your posts are of value, and even look for open sign-ups.

You made the right choice. Now, if you make a commitment like this an get caught trading- you might as well close your account here, because we will haunt you every time you post.:devil:

Now hows that for encouragement? :P

Good luck! We will be watching you...;)

Thanks for all the answers to my post..after careful thinking, I've decided that I won't do giveaways here...But after I've been here a while, I'll hopefully know who's trustable and not. And if I want to give invites anyway,It'll happen via PM and I'll only give to people that prove that they can really contribute to the tracker somehow.

I never use this forum to give public invite. I did get some invites from the GA forum but that was way back. I don't even read that part of the forum anymore.
It is best practice here is to give invite via PM, but not in respond to invite request in the request forum. If you are here long enough, you will know who need what and who have what.

Good points, IdolEyes. I don't think that we can hope to be the catalyst for life-changing notions of purpose and self actualization. :)And changes that occur with members here are unlikely to even get anyone re-instated on trackers that they have broken rules on (unless one of the admins/mods is also a member and forgives them).

What we can do here is help members of this site be better members of the BT community.

If we are not here to be part of a strong community, what are we here for? I have only been here for a few months and I have all of the accounts that I am (currently) interested in. I believe that is the case for a lot of the "regulars" here. I consider myself a "regular" because I am here daily and believe that I am (on at least a minimal level) contributing.

My point in all of this is that we should not write people off permanently because they, for a period of time, made mistakes. I believe there is the possibility of redemption in most communities. If someone wants to sincerely make the effort to change (and even atone for those indiscretions) we should support those changes.

I do not believe I am using the term lightly. I am, however, extending the term to a level that is applicable to our community.

I have been keeping an eye on the OP (mainly out of curiosity) and I can say that he has not posted in the trade section. Way to go OP!!!:01:

Most traders don't post in the trade section .They do there deals via PMs so no one's the wiser.

Megabyteme while your faith in the goodness of people is refreshing one day you need to realize that the really successful cheats/criminals / scoundrels owe much of their success to the very fact that they are the ones who do the best job of disguising their true intent.

Kind of apples and oranges here because cheating someone out of a tracker invite isn't quite the same as mass murder but I'm reminded of Ted Bundy
He utilized arm slings and crutches, he used fake English accents and he outwardly seemed like a very nice, clean cut man.So no one had an inkling that they should run away.

Hope I don't find you stuffed in the trunk of a car is all.
