be careful what you wish for, as this is not exactly a forum for hollywood actors or fitness fanatics! while that doesn't necessarily dictate everyone will be out of shape, or homely, torrenting, and downloading in general, is activity that is certainly suited for the sedentary and/or secluded types (present company not withstanding, of course! )

i look at their contribution here, personally i hate ratio proofs takes me 30 minutes to do one.

IMO you can gather a lot of info here,
check the persons profile ,
if they contribute to the board
if they have lots of igivers especially for sites similiar to what im giving away
then I wont request a ratio proof or speed test , IMO its a lot easier to fake a screenshot than it is a whole TI account. Some of the requieremnts have gone overboard 5 ratio proofs (waht if your not a collector?), 3 Speed tests and proof of a seedbox all for a level 10% giveaway , yet if the guy who requests it has 150 igivers i dont think he should be required to go through this process, if he wasnt a good member he wouldnt have the invites to have given away.

Same as VIP if somone is VIP here ill just give them an invite

i'm sooo with you WHP8, the business of constantly having to make FRESH ratio proofs to apply for invites is a pain in the ass. As a matter of fact, edited or not, people should probably stop posting their ratio proofs in the threads anyway due to snitches that are out there for ScHD, x264, and others I read about. They frown upon T-I, and while I can kinda see why, the policy is a bit harsh (and thanks to it, I have yet to see a Scene HD invite give away, which was one of my main reasons for coming here---already had PTP, BTN, SCC, TL, IPT, DMN... not much else I wanted besides Scene HD and some niche trackers for games, horror, bdsm porn, ebooks, and some others).

I agree, ratio proofs are a pain.

I'm amazed at people's willingness to offer invites to anyone with a VIP badge. Last week I saw someone who had barely been a member for more than a week get an invite to a rather prestigious tracker thanks to the fact he had a fast seedbox and was a VIP. To my mind that's no different to someone just buying an invite.

I'm certainly not trying to demonise those that donate to the site as their actions help keep this site alive, but I don't believe that should be the basis on which invites are handed out. Personally, I want to see what someone has brought to the community (other than donations) and the rarer the invite the more I would expect in that regard.

I couldn't agree more with this. As you said it's great if someone can afford to donate money to the site, but that holds no bearing with me as far as giving away invites. If someone is a VIP, but they have 1 rep bar under their name, two posts, and no iGivers I am reluctant to give the invite. Half the time these people don't even take the time to read the rules of my giveaway and post one ratio proof when I asked for three, or PM me for the invite. I'm actually very surprised at the number of people that pay for VIP from the get-go. You'd think they'd wanna get to know the sight a little more, especially when the invites they're looking for aren't anything too coveted. Anywho, I wish I was working so I could donate:)

I see some VIPs banned at the moment, like Kvothe said is like almost buy an invite, just make a donation, get VIP and ask for most rare invite you can find, the get lost of T-I

I look at the country actually to see if they are not from a banned country.
Second would be iGivers.

I will first look at the posts made​​, spam or useful posts. Then followed by the date of entry in T-I . then igiver and last rep rank
