Thread: The Diffrence between "Itraders" and "Traders"

Since there has been an influx of new members
I am going to try to explain --clearly-- what the difference between a trader and an Itrader is.

A trader does not just give invites, rather they trade an invite for
an invite or an account for an account.
Some people look down on others who want to trade
what I explained in the last sentence.
For example "X" does not like traders
and "Y" is a trader. "X" believes that invites and accounts
should be free, and should not receive anything in return
(besides the downright warm fuzzy feeling one gets for helping another).
but "Y" thinks if he is going to trade something he deserves
something (i.e another invite or another account) in return.

Itraders explanation: Itraders are a means to determine
how many invite's (to a private tracker) a person has given.
It can be located to the right of your name
(visual learners refer to the red arrow in the picture below)





Itraders show how much a person
is giving back to the community.
The higher the Itrader, the more
the person is giving back!

Thanks for finally clearing this up, I am one of said new members and after reading a few threads it left me kinda confuzzled.

excellent, I'm glad I could clear
things up for you :).

heres some rep for the effort my nice green writing man

thank you ethicks!

I would rather it be called something else, the name implies it has something to do with trading.
rep,invite point, referral sound better to me.

Thanks, everyone!, I will
see if If I can get this stickied.

i agree...regardless, of whether you trade or not it simply implies one and not the other.

Boingb makes a good point -- the term "iTrader" sounds like trading -- despite the excellent definition which ethicks provided.
