In other words they are selling invites.

Yeah but apparently they have a screening process.
They ask for your ip and to check it.
Dont know what they check but if i ask a friend who never used private trackers to get an invite, failed.
They might be giving invites away but Pedro's has some of the strictest rules on any private tracker which means members have to be extra careful who they invite as I doubt they will tolerate anyone inviting a bad member. In other words members should only invite their most trustworthy close friends and family, or no-one at all which is obviously the safest bet.
Pretty much in high tier trackers you dont invite anyone unless you know them really well or they proved themselves with various good stats.
The invite pedro is trying to do is through the official site, but the background checks are too intense.
They must not have proofread this... "maybe we may invite you" in particular doesn't give me the assurance I need :germm:Quote:
If you are interesting in joining, maybe we may invite you for a donation.
I think they did that on purpose. as the may was underlined when i saw it.
Yeah not much assurance, not worth.
so, selling invites is officially legal now? :P
If money goes to the staff its legal, lol
Lots of trackers do it, high or low tier.
So sad its the reason why i was banned in the first place when i couldnt find a real life friend and didnt know about the interviews, no second chance. but they now considerate it fine if its from the staff.
The staff can do whatever they want, but I am not in favor of selling invites, whether it be a tracker doing it, or a member with invites on his account. People who become members of such small trackers assume that the small exclusive nature of those trackers afford a level of protection. This protection disappears completely if any guy can simply pay money and get access to people who rips, uploads and seeds on the tracker.
yeah im not in favor of selling invites either , it was just that in the beginning i knew no other way.
I mean as for level of protection thats like BS, cause if any guy is really determined he can definitely get his way in.
i mean most people that buy invites are bad members, new, or dont know how to get in, thats how i view it.
under normal circumstances, increased level of protection is gained from the following:Quote:

there are also exceptions, for which all bets are off, as their scenarios are very unpredictable
spiritually speaking, there is also the case for destiny, in which all preceding events, circumstances and all available choices on a global scale at that particular time converge to a singular event known in advance - meaning: if the tracker was predestined to be raided, no amount of protection and no countermeasures used can avoid that event (whatever countermeasures are used actually work towards the event, not against it)

Figure A: Pedro.
Anyway, I think trackers put a target on their backs when they sell invites like this, but servers are not free and it's unlikely that the authorities would care about a small place where lossless rock, jazz and blues is shared.
This must be why the UK-T, FTWR and ScT all shut down the same year, whereas TL has been running since 2004 and had tons of open signups, yet they seem untouchable.
Your country matters a lot when invited. There are many banned countries...
Still in development :biggrin:
