Feedback for changes part I

[Rebound]

Here you can leave feedback for the announcement.

So far I think this is a good way to go. Giving invites to people could be a tricky situation though, some inexperienced people might give them to the wrong people by mistake so then they could end up being banned for bringing up the subject. So I think the criteria for earning the right to give invites should be a little stringent.

They should also be clearly outlined. A lot of forums seem to have unspoken or ambiguous rules, and this shouldn't be one of them.

Being open till now, so I don't think there is gonna be some difference if someone invite a staffer from some site. I guess we have here some guys :)
In my opinion it's great to close the borders. Now it's a bit more secure

I really, really feal that it's important to ask the question:

Where did you meet this potential invitee (to SBI) that a potential invite should be handed out to??


from what kind of forum??
from a tracker??

etc...etc....

[anon]

It has to be someone you trust, think isn't going to break our rules, and deserves to be a part of our community.

Also, I wouldn't advise to invite someone from a tracker - it'd blow your cover

I think this should be known by all.

I assume the invites should go to trusted friends and such but SB-I with its board closed I assume we will be highly needed now which will drive up the invites to the boards.

I can't wait to see more of the changes and see what you guys decide.

That's one of the reasons we're letting guests download some mods and post.

Also, I can hardly see someone offering an SB-I invite in exchange for Waffles, for example, on a trading board

for waffles no SCT yes


do not do rigid rules

[anon]

Waffles was just an example. I'd reconsider the offer before declining if I was offered unlimited U*-*, F***, ScT, FTN and TTC invites. [/offtopic]

Regarding rigid rules - rules don't work if they aren't enforced.

well things like infractions and banns would be shared with the invited member. if you invite someone that is doing damage to the forum you could loose your account. invites would be really only for people that you know.

guests can download now there would be no need to invite someone that is holding 0 posts you would only waste your invite

[Se7Ven]

but i think one point is more mportant than all invites of this world and this are the friendships and the community here on SB-I


yes and when we have luck we can have good invites too


i take a lot of damage and lost many accounts because i am a member here
but what counts at least more in living then friends?

[Stickbutt]

TTC

Has this place even been verified as real? Last I heard, it was an elaborate prank on the level whores.

[mmmmm]

I have many friends cant download any thing before because the closed registration but now its good thing they can download ,also invitation system is good now u will be able to know who give bad guys the invitations u know what i means

Thanks for that

....... the level whores.

LOL. (having an honest real good laugh)

I swear. At least once a day I get a good chuckle and laugh from some of your guy's posts I read here.

ok, well lets get semi-serious.

A. If I invite some torrent admin to SBI;
B. he joins SBI;
C. convince him to cheat the hell out of his rival's site;
D. becomes a beautifully wonderfully member with a gaz-illion posts to his name;

Would we be allowed to make fun of him b/c he's an admin??

Ok, now let's get truly serious.

IMHO, I think that it would be important to consider [when inviting someone from OUTSIDE from this boardi.e., a person who isn't aware of SBI], not from a trading forum, just like anon touched upon.

There's risk involved in that as there's evidence that some of these invite boards/ trading boards are in co-operation with trackers.

A potentially contacted member at that trading board may be antagonistic towards cheating;
contact the admin on the trading board;
the admin gives the other person's IP to a tracker(s);
that inviter/cheater gets banned from both the trading board and also from a number of his trackers.

basically, he lost everything.

best to invite people from non-P2P related forums such as gaming sites.

This is one of the reasons why I feel its important to ask where the invitee was known from.


Also, will it be required that potential inviters need to ask for an invite from a staff member??
If so, then this would be good news.
If not, then this could be a risk.

I will make a request here that invites are requested from staff by the user, rather than be automatically given out.

Or a short form be filled out by the user where there would be series of short questions asked about the potential invitee.
