I'm not making any more giveaways

Like I said before, it WAS my fault and I should be ready to take responsibility for my actions
Try contacting him on FST or on the tracker... Or even his email.

actually I did, but with no response
its not hard to fake speed test and proofs.

as for ratio proofs, I think that's super easy but what about profile links? and are you saying you can fake a direct link to speedtest.net? I'm sure that the company runs speedtest would be really interested in you. as for the flaming posts.. no comment
if you can resist the temptation and not perform giveaways then you might consider looking for good candidates via their requests

I think this is the best of what been said till now, thank you.
 
Try contacting him on FST or on the tracker... Or even his email.

If he doesn't respond (and its obvious he doesn't want to) I would go to the tracker staff and tell them everything you went through.
Maybe he will get the hint when he gets a Private message from an admin or mod.

Definitely try to contact him first because you may lose your invite rights if you go to staff (or in extreme cases may lose your account).

I'm not sure what site your talking about so I can't really give you my assumption of their reaction lol.
 
I don't know why, but some people tend to be idiots Before I give any invite, I make sure that the person is doing well on other trackers, and have a nice speed I ask for 2 speedtests , and I check them all I invited someone to a tracker here's what happened - 2 speedtests with 3 Mb/s upload - 3 Screenshots and 1 profile link - He signed up with his forum user name - He's connectible on the tracker, and yet his ratio is
Share ratio : 0.005

I don't know what to do, soon the tracker's staff will find.
 
Why not contact the member you gave the invite to in the first instance in case there is a genuine reason/problem for the poor ratio?

If there is none then either you're gonna have to hope if the staff on the tracker are understanding about it and don't take any action against you..... OR, you could approach them first and explain things yourself.

Which tracker was it? And how come this query on BT is in the lounge? I don't think that'll go down too well in here to some :lol:
 
How much time has passed since you invited him? You can't expect everyone to have a great ratio in just a day, even if they have a good upload speed.

Most trackers give you a grace period to increase your ratio, not to mention the actual ratio requirements often only come into effect after you've downloaded a certain amount.
 
Who gives a shit, what do u expect from public giveaways, anyway i love this idea that some a are telling u, go tell the staff ur situaton id love to see their response when u tell them u are giving invites away of fst to total randoms, its not hard to fake speed test and proofs.

Any ur really shouldnt be worried unless he is a cheater, the worst that really can happen to u for inviting someone who doesnt seed that well is that they will take ur invites away big deal.
 
I think you should be a little more patient and give him a chance to improve his ratio. Also, I don't think that complaining to the staff would bring you any good.
About invite requests: you may have unpleasant surprises with them also, I tell you from my own experience.

It doesn't discount the possibility of them having multiple accounts or having an impressive ratio built by cheating.
Unfortunately most profile links don't show forum posts which is the best ( but not guaranteed ) proof of authenticity ( people who break rules tend to try and remain anonymous)

Damn that is a dark interpretation of the invites section....

You act as if the person was just handed an invite for just posting his email..
They were required to post ratio proofs and a speed test.
 
I always think it's a risk we should to take that sometimes the person we invite won't use the opportunity we offer properly.
You see,whatever cautions you use there is still a slight possibility that who you invite maybe a cheater or trader or a collector.
but let's say we stopped public giveaways then there will be no reason most of members here to stay for.
95% of members in this forum and many others are here for getting invites if they don't get them by giveaways or by making friends most of them will turn to trading.cause there will be no other option.
so public giveaways if not against the tracker rules will be a good way to recruit a good new members.
Also i think it's a great idea that the invitee can cancel his invite.actually i was thinking about this a week ago when i wanted to cancel an invite i gave but the only option i had is to contact the tracker staff.
but we have to put in our minds that some people asking for an invite for a certain tracker cause they heard about it but when they actually get in they just get disappoint and don't use it so we have to be patient.
not all the people we invite will be good.
 
It would be great if you could uninvite some one you invited...
Talk to your invitee and see what the deal is. If you get no response, or do not like the response, take it up with the tracker staff. They are going to be much more responsive if you go to them, rather then waiting for them to come to you most likely.
 
Well, everything is pretty simple. If you have invites that doesn't mean that you need to use them. So just invite your friends only or do not invite anybody ;) Screenshots, profile links, activity aren't real arguments. It's just a nice wrapper.
 
That tends to happen when you do giveaways on sites like this. I almost lost an account on a tracker due to inviting a trader err i invited him from the power user section on norbits. :frusty:
 
Personally I tend to like having the invitee write in the excess of 1 or more paragraphs about why he'd want to join the tracker.

Anyone who's willing to write a decently semi-coherent paragraph on why he/she wishes to join is at least a little more credible to me than a sugar coating of ratio proofs.

But alas, with the disadvantages of a public forum, there are always be bad apples in the forum. I would advise forcing applicants to apply in public so members can check on their history, and perhaps asking the mods to check up on them, as from this thread:

Thats the kind of shit that screws over BT ..It moves BT from the filesharing platform/protocol to something totally different
I agree ratio proof and Profile links dont guarantee anything but what else do you suggest .. Wait I knw .. Join countless other forums .. Talk to other members, lick their ass, please them and if you are good at it then they might think you are trustworthy and invite you to BT Tracker where you just actually share files which is illegal to begin ..
So lets say someones get a internet connection and wants to download the latest games and Movies for free .. People tell him that BT is free unlike Newsgroup and Rapidshare .. So he decides to try his hand at it .. Little does he knw what awaits him .. Befriend ppl on internet who might be spastics in real , appease them and all the bullshit .. For what just to share his files on the internet ... Do you really think that avg user would do all these things .. Now dont give me that shit that these ppl have to do this just cuz some retard on the internet said that its a privilege to have these trackers .. There is no privilige associated with it .. Trackers are not where the content originates so they have no right over it anyways

Apart from that my good Sir FST is full of Threads of how trusted ppl have betrayed etc .. So there is no fool proof way to do this .. Just dont bash Public GA just cuz some high handed retards think that its just not right ..

Public giveaways are a gateway to this BT scene

Dude, that's just my opinion, which I don't really think is all that high handed or retarded, but that notwithstanding, I'm also pretty sure its not what "screws over the BT scene". Certainly no more than people constantly breaking tracker rules by handing out invites to people they don't know from Adam on the basis of a couple of screenshots.

All that stuff you said about joining countless forums and kissing countless ass just isn't true. Jeez, there's hundreds of thousands of people who use private bittorrent sites and have never had to do any of that, or wanted to. Usually because those people are happy enough with one or two trackers, but not just because of that. Its more than possible to become a member of sites with any sort of content without invites, there's irc interviews and open signups all over the place; sure the most l33t sites might not operate that way... but then the vast majority of those don't actually have any particularly unique content anyway.

I'm on virtually every private tracker I could ever want or have time to use, and have never had to do any of the stuff you describe. A couple of those I was invited to through staff offers in other sites p/u forums, another couple through friends made in simply going about my time on the net without any thought of gaining invites. In fact not even on BT related sites. All the rest I signed up for at some stage when they were open, and none of it was any hassle or effort whatsoever really. Public giveaways on sites like this one have never even remotely played a role, and in all honesty I really doubt they are a gateway for the vast majority of people who use private torrents, but have no idea about or care for the "Bt scene", just want to download some files. A mate, either real-life or online points them towards (or invites them to) a site or two and that's what they happily use ad infinitum without a thought of joining dozens of others.

Besides, how can public giveaways be a gateway if everyone wants "ratio proofs" from established trackers (and expect them to show massive buffers which "normal" people don't create), and expect them to show speedtests with upload rates far above what a normal home connection is (in most parts of the world)? Surely those requirements favour the tiny majority who rent servers and already have access to plenty of trackers?
