Thread: [IMPORTANT]Account giveaways! Vote to keep... or not keep them!

I will not tolerate flaming. If this thread gets out control we will be forced to disallow further comments. So please guys - no name calling, insult tossing, or baseless accusations allowed. This is a community - act like it.

Um, call me sensitive (aw shucks) but JJ, who are you refer'n to? Looks like me as you followed my post - I meant no disrespect. I see no disrespect for a whole load of posts.

Love to know who you were tearing a strip off of.

I said no,

But i believe is one of my dear amigo's wanted the account and i had it and didn't use it i would just give it to them (such as signus or dru) as we are in AUS.

Tricky but in general no.!

Hmmmm ,,, All of you are against me


@jellyhead : As I said, I think giving away the account that I don't use is ok in the low and mid lvl trackers ,,,, not because of the buffer
but because I don't use it anymore ,,, and I want to help my fellow user to get in to the same tracker which once was one of mine

@NamelessOne : The risk is here ,,, everytime to invite it counts on your tree and you put your self and your invites tree in risk and you can't be 100 % sure that the person who you invite is not gonna cause you a ban ,,, yet we invite him right ??
I think it's the same thing here
and again the account is not being giving away becuase of the Igiver ,,, It's because I want to help in anyway my felow members
@TranceX : Yah I know most of them are ,,, but not all of them right ??
and what if I am giving away the one of the " not all of them " ? will it be ok ??


to all who may read this post :

After reading all the posts which responded to my previous post
I think it's ok to give away account ,,, but I am not saying it's a must
So, it don't worth to be against most of you to give what I think it's ok

Nope, I wasnt referring to you at all. I was referring to someone whose post I had to edit. You did fine. :)

Please, do accept my sincere apologies both you and anyone else who might have found themselves offended by my comment, didn't meant to offend anyone. I'll restrain myself from further participating in this discussion.

I have said yes for two reasons, one because account giveaways are (as far as the sites that permit them , change of e-mail etc) a lot safer to hand over than invites, this is because when invites are allowed the chances of you being reprimanded are high ( in the case of one of the invitees getting banned etc) whereas when accounts are given away, you are safe - this works for me since I have dynamic IP and/or anyone else with a dynamic IP, should you have a static IP, it's better to change it if possible else I am sure better to refrain from account giveaways.

Secondly I am saying yes because sometimes we sign up for sites by mistake, like in my case expecting a better bandwidth (connection speed) and if I am not going to use the account, might as well pass it on specially when open sign ups are hard to come by/ invites disabled etc.

While there are many arguments against my opinions - I appreciate each and every one's individual opinion - I am entitled to my own opinion and as thus hope there would be some use out of this post (I have given away some accounts in the past and I am yet to hear any complaints).

Have a nice day all and thanks for your time.

there are some trackers with disabled invites, ex: TVT.ro, and i can`t get inside of it, until they`ll make their minds in enabling or not. what should i do mates ?? not requesting for an account that one guy is not using it ?? not to ask for it, just because some guys are having all the scene trackers and can reach all the high apples in the tree ?? man, i`m poor in trackers, i have to take all that`s given` on the table and say thanks too. you could make a rule too.. to be EXCEPTED all accounts where invites are baned. that`s all folks !! c`ya

While I understand and respect those who want to keep account GAs, I voted NO because:

1. Vast majority of account GAs are for open low to mid level trackers
2. Many people request invites simply to give the accounts away (quick iGiver)
3. Increases the odds of getting the entire invite tree banned
4. Trackers consider account GAs the same as trading
5. Zero control over who will ultimately receive your invite
6. Inflates ratio proofs for those that didn't really earn them

One of my biggest hesitations in joining T-I was the fact trading & account GAs were allowed at the time. I noticed a drastic increase in higher level invites since the trading ban was implemented. I believe this is because we are starting to nurturing a higher quality user base and setting T-I apart from all of the other invite trading sites.

Call me crazy, but "I have a dream" that one day we won't have to hide our membership in this site. That trackers will appreciate that we police our members and keep scammers & cheaters to a minimum. I believe the first step in acceptance is to eliminate traders AND account GAs. Even if acceptance never comes, the issues listed above is more than enough for me to vote NO.
