Thread: inviters must read

i got this is my regular email today from cartoon chaos..maybe we all need to start askin for profile links instead of ratio proofs as they are easily stolen...think about it and lets keep us all safe.....

People have been signing up to this forum to beg/request/ask (take your pick) for invites to the tracker. Now, being that msot of these ppl are total strangers and could be RIAA, MPAA, MIA or DOA ( :bleh:) for our members let me give you some does and don'ts



1. Screenshots are useless - they can be faked, and are faked quite regularly (see trader forums at places like FST). You cannot tll if someone is a good torrenter (or will be) from a screenshot.

2. Profile links - this is the only way to tell what someone does on another tracker. If someone comes here and wants an invite (yes I'm talking to you Mr. invite Requester) and start a thread without direct profile links for members with invites to possiby check I will trash it. If you're worried that hte tracker in question doesn't like their URL to be posted publicly (e.g. S** or F*** or P*** etc) then indicate that you can PM the members who have invites the URL and they will ask you for it

3. Linking to accounts that have different usernames is suspicious - linking to 4 profiles with 4 different usernames kinda indicates that they may not be your accounts!! TO members i wouldn't count on tha ass being useful.

4.Make only ONE invite request thread! If you forgot to add something to your first thread, PM staff to help - do NOT spam this forum with 3 threads saying the same thing in different ways - ppl can see each one. If you spam we will delete ALL threads and ban you from the forum seriously). As a matter of fact scrap that...

THIS will be the Public Invite Request thread - any thread outside of it will get trashed. I like my forum neat :bleh: so ppl who find their thread locked, post your request with all the relevant info ONCE in here and members will respond if they feel you're worth their invites.

Right now this forum is a mess and we hate messes :tantrum:

What are profile links?

example: http://torrentleech.org/userdetails.php?id=12345 where 12345 is your user id on the ratio proof tracker

Links to your profile on a tracker. That way there's proof that you're in and have a good ratio.

EDIT: Seems cobalt got to it before me with a better explanation. =P

Thanks cobalt. =]

I don't really understand then..lol, if you're not a member of the site you aren;t going to see their profile and wouldn't that just make it even easier to get detected by tracker admins

You would post the url in a PM so that nobody else could see.

Yes, they must be a user at the tracker to see the proof that is the only problem but it does make it legit.

So if I wanted an invite from you, I would give you a profile link to a site you aren't a member of, how do you see proof? Thats just as easy as photoshopping screenshots or easier because you could find profile links on google.

You would find a tracker you're both a member of to use as proof. Then you could PM the url to them. After that they could request for you to send a PM to their username on there verifying it's them. There are many ways to make sure it's legit.

*you're welcome,tehllamaking xD

From what i understand,this *thingy* applies only in the requesting invites topics so there is no worry..not trading,just requesting an invite.No big deal
