Thread: Torrent-Invites Introduction Template

Just a few things I wanted to bring up with regards to the Introduction template.

1. Could the question regarding trading be changed to something like:

Do you think trading is "good" or "bad" and can you give an explanation to your answer?

I have put this forward as I have noticed a lot of people in the introductions page write answers which can neither be interpreted as bad or good and so it requires a member to post another question to clarify the users views on trading.

2. Also with the amount of users that are on the site surely the invitation template can be translated to a variety of languages. This would basically provide an easier method for people who's first language is not English to access the site. If this is not possible could there at least be a link a translated version via google translate for various countries.

I dont see the point having the introduction in different languages as you will have problems when you enter the site if you don't read/write english as that is the language this site is written in ???

Yeah, as much as we support people from non english-speaking nations joining, they must be able to at least communicate well enough with us to be understood - however, I see the point on the question being reworded. I believe a couple of the questions in the template could use some rewording.

I was told once by another member though that they thought the questions were intentionally tricky to weed out morons. So who knows.

What are your views on trading invites?:*
Trading: The act of selfishly "swapping" invites to different sites, often for personal gain.

That's exactly what it says in the template. Looking at this it doesn't look to be confusing and realistically the answer to the question is below it, If anything that should be removed. I mean if they answer it confusing then I dont know....

So that being said, I think its fine the way it is. Really all they have to do is read the rules before they post an intro. All of the answers are in front of there eyes. If the answers are confusing then so are they on the issue of trading.

Unfortunately like mentioned above that wont help them much, once there into the site. I have come across many people who cant type or read english, but they wouldent manage on a tracker either. So I dont think making different languages is whats best for TI. How many languages do we make, there a lot of them.

I do think the question about trading should be clarified as suggested. But I don't support adding more languages. If they can't communicate in English while making their intro how are they going to be able to use the rest of the website? If someone needs to use a different language for their intro then perhaps they might be better off at a site they can understand, and perhaps that idea can be nicely suggested to them.

the question was changed already..it is very clear now

I think this site should remain english only. If people can't figure out the intro in english, how are they going to figure out the rest of the forum. They are just going to get banned eventually then for not reading the rules of sub-forum.

I think the trading question is no more tricky there is a note saying it is for self benefit or so , but it would be only better if it got more clear : a yes or no question leaving no space for answers like : (am okay with it but am not doing it )

Different Languages are not needed , earlier today a new swiss member was helped out from other member in deutsch http://www.torrent-invites.com/intro...issindeed.html
so no need to make the intro on several languages , if somebody doesn't understand english he can have help in his own language .
