Is Trading BAD?

For those who find it "offensive" that people find Albo's ban funny:

I do not know him outside of this thread (and one other where he called a friend of mine an idiot)- it was in the trading section (my friend was suggesting that the tracker did not like traders...). Go figure.

However, someone who starts a thread titled, "Is trading BAD?" with the intent to stir up Spam and makes the comments he has in this very thread(check his post history), then gets banned from several sites...I find that frigin' hilarious!

Oh, and BTW, Baday... n00bzor's post was changed 24 seconds after his original. He also makes a great effort (on several sites) to welcome new members.

You've been nothing but a bunch of hot air since you got here. What's your point? :unsure:

thanks man

in a few years i'll look like my old man though lol. he suffers from hair loss as well but i don't mind at all. Now and days a person's looks don't even matter. It's what's in their brain and heart that matter's the most.

When a person reaches a certain stage of their life, physical appearance is the last thing that will be useful to them. I picture myself in my 50's with a happy family, 2 or 3 loyal and good friends, a quiet life and that's about it. What need would we all have in our physical appearance by that time?? It's not the looks that get you the friends, good life etc... it's your personality

afraid to say?

As for the first paragraph, I wish you were right. Media messages are very strong and they are telling kids (and adults) that aging is horrible and that we should buy all kinds of products and get surgeries to avoid aging. Look at all the "celebs" and wanna-be's who have stretched skin and awful nose jobs. Look at television's portrayal of the "happy family"- new luxury cars, expensive clothes, health and beauty products...on and on... If anything, appearance and monetary "success" outweigh all of the truly important things you mention in the second paragraph.

And, as for the second, I hope that more people will look to family, friends, and quiet life as a measure of success in life.

Very nice, thoughtful post, Albo! :happy: However, I am still jealous of your hairline.

Anyway, FSC is a great site, with great staff, and a history of sound decisions. I have faith in their judgment- either they have already made the correct decision (based on information that may, or may not, be available to everyone), or they will revisit their decision.

The wonderful thing about mistakes is how totally unbiased they are .They don't care how well intentioned,experienced, intelligent or in my case good looking you are , they are still happy to make your acquaintance.

What exactly is your point.. I deserve getting banned just because my posting might be contreversial? Is that what you're trying to say or are you trying to say that the fact that i was banned doesn't surprise you because you figured me out due to my posting..

Trading is not bad in my opinion. Some people just make it sound bad.

If you take a look at old trading threads you won't see anyone bashing the trader. Nowadays every single thread is bashed, especially the higher level trades.

Bittorrent has evolved from a filesharing protocol into a game (traders, anti-traders, non traders, tracker levels, comparisons, reviews, asskissing, global banning, community lovers, bashing, invite forums, secrecy etc).

If someone's going to reply to my post then don't expect me to answer a single one before Monday, maybe Tuesday.

I'm off for the weekend, see you later filesharingtalk. :holiday:

Simple as mathematics:


Trading = Banned
Cheating = Banned
GiveAway = Banned (Sometimes) or 1 Warning
HnR = Warning
2 Warnings = Banned

Then :
Banned = Trading = Cheating = 2xHnR = 2xWarnings = GiveAway (or 2xGiveAways)

Do mathematics there is like to be a sheep in a flock. Have you ever followed all the rules that you had seen ? I don't think so.
Mathematics ARE NOT acts. Theory ≠ Practice.

There are the good traders that just traded to have a tracker that they want to use and the bad traders that are thinking to 0MFG lVL 9 tR4K3R ! that they will never use...
 
;)....I agree with you,m8....No one would take his risk of inviting a trader,I rly dont think traders will make great contributions with their efforts..

no matter what.. the traders will continue to trade. Fact.
all we can do is keep an eye out on trackers being responsible members.. thats about it. ;)

thats just what i can do
 
Idol, you're cool mate. I just thought is bit strange that people would bitch about it without actually trying to do something about it, and you may not be a diplomat but sometimes it goes along way in actually getting things done.

As for BrianH, well like I said i wasn't expecting anything but, thanks for the laugh.
 
Idoleyes do you still have that message that I sent you where one of the CN mods claimed that they had proof that it was cabalo because they could see his userID in the form of pixels??

What about the other message I sent you where MelvinMew told me that he had acess to the Fst database and thats how he knew that it was Cabalo becaus he saw his IP

This thread should be talking about trading. I don't know why it turns to talking about CN instead.

@cabalo : keeping denying that you didn't take that review won't help you, if you admitted it from the beginning then you might got another chance.

@Albo : You fought for cabalo's battle and you lost. so keeping talking shit about us won't help you and won't harm us.

@everyone : stop questioning our review detection because you will never know about it, and don't think it is fake because it is not. It is like 1+1=2 it can't be any other result.

@ a3m: you acted like assholes all the time, with stupid threads here at fst insulting me, written by 14 year's old kids and so on, i don't want another chance at CN. why would i even bother? i don't give a fuck about your site anyway. I need it as much as a bald man needs a comb. so keep playing cowboys and indians with each other. :wave:
and who told you you're anyone important to "ask" for another chance? sorry, i had to lol at that. don't be sad. :console:
 
While I believe sear this BrianH guys only solace is the fact that you do not know who he is, so he can talk shit. Unless hes different from the rest of the kid trolls he won't admit who he is.

It usually ends with staff finding him anyway and proceeding into the following:

a) Apologies followed by wrath of staff (ban, warn, or my personal favorite - epic humiliation)

b) "I don't need x site anyway!"

c) Possible sexual pleasure inquiry by member.

So man up Brian :).

I was kind of not serious at the first part but i sure damn believe the second part "Trading is also an excuse to disable as many accounts as possible so more invites are sold.. i have an old post explaining how trackers make more money by disabling accounts..(take bitmetv, BTmusic for example)

and I had a good theory how trackers make money by disabling traders but i dont feel like going over it atm

but anyway this thread was just to get some activity going. the mods are better off closing it unless you guys still want to discuss trading after the millionth time

well, perhaps a select few trackers may be more monetarily driven than the majority .. i'll admit. but, just to classify all trackers as doing this or being in this type of mindset is ridiculous.. most trackers just hope to get enough to cover costs (which there are many) and maybe a bit more for cushion purposes only. not every tracker is out there solely to make money as you suggest.
 
GiveAway = is a one way communication. i.e. people giving out trackers to those in need of it.

Request = is a one way communication i.e. people asking tracker for their needs.

So Combine both GiveAway+Request = Trading.

Trading = Two way communication where communication occurs from both side and both may be in need of it or may not.

All these three have their own advantages and disadvantages.

In brief both are same, only we people are *U*ked up. and start taking one side or other side. Nothing is bad or good mate. If u want something then It doesn't matter whether its right or wrong:D. No one is :ghostface Saint.
