Thread: Update master sticky in intro section

There are some things that need to be updated in the master sticky in the intro section.



For one thing, this is NOT in the sticky in the intro section, and there is no reference to account GA/s whatsoever in the master sticky there that I could find:

Same here:

Furthermore, this is old and not up-to-date:

- How did you find us?
- what are your views on trading.

- What's your favorite torrent tracker?
- What do you use torrents for (e.g movies, music, etc.)
- [Post ratio proof/s]

Also i feel that this:

Should be changed to:

As trading is no longer allowed here

I'm not sure if this even matters / is enforced anymore:

And I don't think it's a big deal many members don't have a real location in their Bio. Maybe it should be

That's all I could find for now. Feel free to comment on any part of it :)

EDIT 10/12/09

Update, this is not in the master sticky in the intro, but is in the one in the help section

Just noticed this as i was reading a thread at the CB

EDIT (AGAIN): This is in the master sticky in the help section:

Do not cheat, scam, or lie.

Other than that, there is NO REFERENCE to ratio cheating WHATSOEVER in either master sticky. I think this should be added to both:

Do not cheat, scam or lie.

Do not ratio cheat trackers.

That kind of thing :)

I completely agree with Heyman32's suggestions. Also, id like to add another suggestion. Could newcomers, in their ratio screenshot, be asked to enter something like 'torrent-invites' into the search bar? They will have to do this to apply for any decent tracker here, and i think it will be a step towards keeping out cheaters. Waiting for your opinions

heyman i totally agree that the intro section sticky does need some work so that some confusions can get cleared up on rules and all. I know that there is only so much that can be done in the intro section but I guess if we can (excuse the way I am going to put it) dumb down things enough people will finally get the rules but again there is only so much we can do to help these people.

@scoobydoo if you have a suggestion of your own I suggest you make your own thread and not piggy back on someone's thread.

@scoobydoo i think that has been suggested before but was turned down for some reason. I forget the reason but it was a good reason.

@hummingbird because this was related to the intro section, i thought this would be appropriate here as they could be taken into consideration together, and it would stop us creating many different threads.

@heyman32 i didnt know about that.Thanks.
