I decide never to trade again~~``

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!

the best trackers include for example TL, and it's not because of traders that it is insecure. :ermm:

No one is infallible and true wisdom is only gained from learning from mistakes.

Still it's not really a question of forgiveness but rather a question of trust.

Trust is the outcome of seeing that individual make the changes and hopefully atone (an act, or acts, that show sincerity). As you mentioned, the journey is key here because unless we (the community) get to see the changes, we will not have any reason to believe that the person has changed.

I still believe that forgiveness plays a part because the individual has done something that ran counter to the community. They have committed a violation. Some members will forgive the act, others will not consider the possibility.
 
Thanks, Martinator!

This topic is so similar to the American prison system that you could almost exchange the word "trader" for "criminal". Once you have the label, it is almost impossible to "go straight" or "get an honest job [invite]".

And you are right, there is a certain mindset that simply cannot abide by society's [site] rules. Giving certain people a 2nd or 200th chance won't make a bit of difference.

One of Michael Moore's films uses an example from a prison in Norway. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGTzbj3fRSw

MM's films are generally not a great resource for facts, but I find this example very interesting. It does show that an alternative for our failed prison system that treats criminals as inhuman and outsiders. I have not seen anything that disputes, MM's presentation of the Norway prison system.

There is probably a better way of reincorporating "traders" than to shun and flame them.

@MBM,I think everything you said is correct and its generally what should happen,i don't see why people shouldn't be allowed a second chance,a while back i decided to steer clear of these to trade v/s not to trade debates coz they weren't helping any course and if anything they just provided an avenue for people to bash the other side.Interestingly though this other side barely contributed to these threads making them even the more pointless and basically just a monologue of sorts to increase post count and for some people to SCREAM!! out in public that they weren't traders as much as we wouldn't know what they were in private.Some were even doing it for the sake of reps on other forums(and even linked their insults in their sigs ''I anti trader,i abuse them bad on FST,click here for proof'')

As of my opinion,trading is wrong but if you ask me,i'd be more inclined to listen to the preach who tells me if you change your ways you'll have a good after life than the preach who tells me if i don't change my ways i'll fucking burn in hell for eternity.This gospel of doom just doesn't work.
 
I had been lurking here for a long time before I finally created an account, and while I agree that more likely than not the OP is just trying to get rained down with with invites at his revelation, I admire megabyteme for his efforts.

Alot of these posts tend to get filled with massive amounts of sarcastic remarks and flames from regulars in a matter of hours (no offence) and its a breath of fresh air to not see someone completely rain down terror on the op.

level 10 = Best ? Why ?
Click to expand...
Because some people here look at that WTAW listing and equate levels with degrees of excellence. Level 1 = shit (as you seen someone say earlier) while Level 10 = uber-1337 (so must be awesome).

People need to stop treating that list like it is the end all be all. Levels are mostly for traders, they need to put a value on trackers so they can know what it is worth. Every tracker (well most) no matter where they fall on ANY list has something to offer a person. It is what YOU think of the tracker NOT what some damn list says it is.
 
Basically both of them are frowned upon,though its utter hypocrisy as to how some trackers warm up to some forums that do exactly what you'll be banned for doing in the giveaway section here,its this double standard that sometimes gets to me and kinda makes a huge mockery of the tracker rules.i'd even be tempted to say that these invite pusher forums are more insecure than this place coz if you look at it these sites exist coz of invites,takeaway the invites and they are more than dead,so any smart RIAA/MPAA spy who has done his stats will tell you that if you want invites you start with where you know they are obviously available and at where trackers such as iTS are as comfortable to even recruit from than to start with a place where your chances of being banned on a tracker increase by upto 50% just for registering.
 
WHAT!!!!! Some one has done changed the game. What happened to the old tried and true method of registering another username then using both usernames to have a flaming war over some invites, where the new virtuous username wins and banishes the trader known as: superkiller1

There's still time....its never too late!!!
