Thread: hammered down list of Low, Mid and Trusted trackers

Ive been searching through the GA section for a while and have come across MANY invites to trackers that are listed in the lower level forum list sticky but posted in the mid level forum, one example being Bit-HDTV. I do not know how users go about posting GAs but if a list is in the low level, there should at least be one in the mid level forum as well, to avoid confusion. If Bit-HDTV is truly a low level tracker per T-I, then the invite shouldnt need any kind of proof other than to ask for it, which seems to be the concensus for the low level trackers. That kinda beings another issue to the surface of putting some kind of consistency to the GAs as a whole; saying that if its a low level tracker that is on the list, users only need to ask for an invite and mid levels need X amount of proof.

I agree with the List for Mid Level Trackers, but

I don't agree with the No proof for Low level GA thing you suggest..
When an inviter wants to give his invites, he doesn't want to give it just like that, PTM and IPT are Low level, but are pretty good trackers, and it is upto the inviter to ask for proof or not.

I don't think anyone should have problem with giving proofs, this will provide a kind of assurance to the inviter that the person who applied will use the tracker and not just collect it.

well as amuntVCF pointed..even I don't beleave that there should be any hard rules over it.ultimately it's your your call where you want ot give the invite and what all rules you are gonna warp around.. and I think it's fair as GIVER should be the one who should feel comfortable with inviting someone and it also show the love/respect you have for tracker..I have offered IPT in med/trusted level too cause I felt more secure on those places & also i have real high respect for that tracker..

and I don't think it is a big deal cause making 1-2 ratioproof doesn't take much time well as compared to the gr8 time You gonna have on the tracker. .:D :D and if you don't like someones req. just moveon to the next one..:P

The fact that some trackers are in low level category doesn't mean that the inviters shouldn't ask for proofs. The reason why those trackers are there is because it's generally easy to get into them. However, this doesn't mean that they are not good. For example, IPT. While IPT is a superb tracker, it's placed in the low level section mostly due to the ease with which you can get in.

I have the utmost respect for this tracker and i would never give an invite to someone without seeing at least some decent proofs. Loosing your IPT account is really not a risk worth taking.

The choice about the amount of proofs needed should be left to the each individual inviter. If someone wants no proofs in order to handle an invite for TL, so be it. However, anyone with common sense would appreciate their tracker accounts. Take for example Waffles. If you are a member in this tracker, you would know that it's kinda hard to get in it and maintain your account in a healthy status. I don't think that you would ever give an invite to the first person who would ask for it. What i'm trying to say is that there could be some general guidelines about the invites in each tracker level but the final choice should be left to the inviter. After all, he is the only one responsible for his account.

I will agree with you though. The G/A secton needs a small revamp in the list. The criteria should be both the available invites and the content.

If what everyone is saying, then maybe there shouldnt be a low level and a mid level... Seems to be that it is going to be different for every invite, although it shouldnt. There can be many an argument over giving invites but when it all boils down to it, the tracker is the same, not the invites. Person A giving an invite to IPT is just as equal is Person B giving an invite to IPT. At this point, we could go TWO ways with it. One way would be that the tracker is a low level tracker and it needs to be given in the Low Level area no matter how many ratio proofs you want to give. That way, the Low Level list stays consistent. On the other hand, the SECOND way is to combine the low and mid level areas and then it is up to the Inviters account standing on that particular tracker and the trust he is requesting of his invitee. You cant have your cake and eat it to im afraid.

for the record, that wasnt me saying that low levels should just be given away. It is just what I have been reading in those areas. I aso could open up TWO separate threads in mid levels for the SAME tracker and both inviters could want two totally different things. That says to me that there shouldnt be a list, maybe only a Request section and the inviters post to the request thread asking for what they would like for their OWN invite.

This has been discussed over and over and over again. The lists you want will continue to change so it's not feasible at any point in time. At one point BHDTV was fairly difficult to get an invite for, then it was not, and now it is again since they've closed their invite system. Even if we did define some kind of lists, they will just change again and another member will simply create another suggestion asking to change/update the lists. Secondly, the difference between mid-level and trusted is very limited. It's completely upto the inviter to place where they want their invitation. It's also upto the inviter to ask for whatever prerequisites in their give-aways; therefore, making a list to differentiate between mid-level and trusted would be a complete waste of time.

I'm completely against the idea of the 'just ask' motif. In all honesty, I think it's complete bullshit and members who doesn't ask for a ratio proof or do a bit of research before giving any invite is seriously asking for trouble. You might as well invite a trader/scammer and get banned yourself.

And finally, people keep asking for mods to either settle down a list or update the existing one. If you really wanted to make a suggestion that matters, why not create the list yourself and append it to your suggestion. Guaranteed this will get you more results. Take the initiative and then push for the change afterwards.

Here are some other related threads if you want to have a look:

Tracker list for mid level giveaways
List with Low/Middle/High-level trackers
Trackers Level?

The choice should be obvious now. Do away with the lists because they seem to not mean anything and the time and effort it would take to catalog all the trackers on a continual basis is not feasible.

Also, combining the low and mid seem to be more appropriate because there isnt much difference between lower and middle level trackers as there are low to trusted or mid to trusted even. You will not see me give invites to FTN or PTN in low or mid level because those are indeed upper level trackers but any other of my trackers i would put in either low or mid

True enough. All tracker levels are completely dependent on the amount of invites available to the public. Soon enough you're going to see more and more FTN invites in the trusted section.

I also completely agree with you about abolishing the current list; it's useless to say the least. Although, people seems to like some kind of reference so I don't think it's going to be removed any time soon.

As we all know the level depends on the amount of invites available in public. But there must be some rough list of them. For example I can see chdbits invite giveaway in almost everywhere, fro low level giveaway to trusted level giveaway. If anyone can get same invites from different levels then my question is what is the point of creating levels here??

And for the real high level trackers like hdbits or ftn, ithey are out of discussion now.
