change the rep system..

[FevTyke]

Because its mad.

if you give 1 invite you should recieve 1 rep point, do 1 trade recieve 1 rep point, make helpful post recieve 1 rep point.

Why?

e.g.

a new member joins and has 101 low level invites, goes in the low level section. in the first 20 days he gives all 101 invites away to people with zero rep in this section. all invites work, everyones happen, this poor member still has zero rep even though he is very trusted among members.

someone joins waits 15 days posts nothing of worth in the forums but has three PTN, scl or sct etc invites gives them away to three members with lots of rep and gains lots of rep - maybe a badge. then suddenlty he can get almost any invite he asks for. while the poor first member is told to get more rep before someone will give him owt.

OMEGA, SWIFT,

this really does need sorting.

i know this is probably an extreme example but you know where i am coming from.

[GML]

Yes mate, it really sucks
I agree with you


Why don't you guys start a system with numbers only....
Just give 1 point per rep

[nixon]

yeahhhh that would be nice
i got some rep but all from new members... so my rep is so low..
i don't really care honestly about rep, but when i try getting an invite, the rep system influences ppl with on choosing someone over me even though i show some really good ratios, or even someonelse.. even tho he has helped out lots..

so yeah,
that was a pretty nice point andy :)

[MovieMan]

rep system does need to change..id do away with it!! but then that wouldnt work here...so it just needs overhaul

[AlexKrycek]

I think the idea behind the rep system is "you give big you receive big".
1 point for 1 invite is a bad idea I guess, cause everyone could make several accounts and give to his main account rep or ask a few friends to sign up and give him rep, in that way a person can collect high rep without giving anything.
The currently rep system seems unfair but protects from such a thing.

+1..that is what i would have said..;)

[GML]

Well Alex you are right

[piejustice]

yes....i mean, i've been repped heaps of times (check my profile) and i only have 4 bars.... 0.o ...

[Raven]

i too have given away but don't show a lot of bars. i rep others who come through though as it should be. all in all it is still a great site.

[Invernoso]

there are some situations when the giver just gives one good invite to the one person who have more rep points, just to get more points from him..i don't know....this issue is a 2 ways problem..i guess the givers should not rely so much on rep points..

I think the rep sistem should change..maybe the members with no rep points, should give just one..
and there's allway's the posts to check if a member is ok, and to see what kind of invites he offered....

[violinraja]

s i agree with u frnd

[Raven]

honestly i think the rep thing is more of a click than anything.. I've given away a lot and got more joy out of that. But those who rep and show avatars of what they have are just drawing attention and we should be on the down low anyway. It's just my personal opinion. I have given props to those who have gave me invites as I should. But I don't trade and use seedboxes so I don't have speed test proof from my 2 ISP's. Having said that chances are slim I'll be getting any invites because of my run silent run deep attitude towards torrenting.

But I do know for a fact those who say they are vehemently anti-traders have in fact traded before. Once they get what they want they become anti-traders. A good torrenter always needs a start so I will give away invites to nice people regardless of reps. If you think about it this thing of ours "as i like to call it" is fun, and if giving someone a start at a great private tracker who has no rep points brings me joy, then so it will be.

[darkseed]

Does seem a tad unfair at times, should definitely change but I'm not sure if the +1 rep substitute is the right solution.

I think its also highly overrated, checking others' posts to see what contribution they've made is a better way to judge on whether to give them an invite rather than looking at how many reps they have.

[sankalp]

i have some 6reps but not even a single green bar:(

[Fish]

I'd really doubt that the new way would work any better... the only problem I see atm, is TTi seedhour/gigs being traded way too much, and people getting lots and lots of rep that way... And, those invites to PTN/ScL etc are more valuable than 101 level 1 invites if you ask me...

[debdas]

I think andy is right .. The REP system should be same for everyone ... regardless of the Tracker level ...!!

[Mysser]

I think that this problem could be fixed by allowing people to see the full list of the descriptions of the received rep. This would allow every user to determine whether the guy received an invite, by having an exact explanation of what the user had done for the site.

\mysmys

[Chinga]

Agreed.

[luqius]

it would be nice if a new member would have chance to earn a small amount of REP fast.
for example i got an invite but as a new member i didn't have a chance to give that nice guy some REP.

[PirateChest]

tbh I think rep sucks I think take it off and put a user class system

[ramires]

i agree with you sometimes it's not fair.

[Omega]

tbh I think rep sucks I think take it off and put a user class system

And how would the user class system work?

[OriBusi]

well the first poor member needs to giveaway high level's he has and not open sign up giveaway!

[Invalid]

I agree with luquis, coming here as a new member it's tough. Cant even give rep to other members that helped you.

[Andrey]

If every new member had gray rep, as in.. no rep power whatsoever, once he reps the first person who helped him, both should have 1 green rep.

[sWiFT]

when new members with no rep give each other rep they must receive 5 rep points in order to get a green bar. The idea behind this is members must earn and show the community they are trustworthy.

A new member will get more rep power when rep'd by a member that has established rep already. And doubles when staff rep's members.

[Ti-Fan]

u have some right my friend but this is to prevent scammers ect from getting tons of rep this way..

Any ideas are welcomed! just tell us :)

[luqius]

well that didn't work for me.
I just mean it should be easyer to gain the first few REP points so the new members can rep the nice people giving them invites.
Otherwise those nice people who give low lvl invites to new members don't gain any REP.

[Eon]

I agree. It does suck for the lower users. A lot of people on this forum are biased through rep, so it's not going to do anything for now.

[danl1988]

I think when someone with 0 rep gives you rep, it should still count for something because you could potentially receive rep hundreds of times from people with no rep themselves and it wouldn't count. I understand (and like) the idea that you get more rep if the person repping you has more rep, but you should still get something even when the person doesn't have any rep themselves. Perhaps every 2 reps from people with 0 rep could count as 1 green bar? Or a ratio similar to that?

Other than that, I'm satisfied with the rep system. 1 rep for 1 invite doesn't make any sense because obviously some invites are more valuable and rare than others are.

[pino]

Yeah mate I know exactly what you mean I didn't get many points for my given invites either

[Vanilla_Ic3]

I think rep system help us to gett and offer invites.

[djkneegrow]

Maybe having people who give invites give rep to the people they invite after they show that the invite given wasn't abused or they didn't get banned and that the invite gets used. An example would be I have no rep points. I go into a giveaway and ask for an invite to lets say IPTorrents. I give rep to the person who invited me, but it doesn't help to show that I was a good member to give invites to since I get no rep from the whole deal. So what I suggest is that maybe after I am able to move up the promotional ladder on that site to whatever is above what you start at, the person who invited me is allowed to rep me for proving I am worth giving invites to and that I use them. The problem I have with just giving someone rep is that about 80% of the invites I have given out get used for like a week or so, or they never use the site and it is just there to show they are part of a private tracker and thats it. I think this would help new users to get some rep, have the invites actually get used, and show who is and isn't worth giving invites to. Maybe if someone gets rep for moving up on a tracker from whoever invited them only get like 1/3 or 1/2 of what they would get for giving an invite and getting repped for it. This sounds like a lot and sorry if it does, but it just seems to make some sense for both the inviter and the invitee and so that invites don't just get given out and not used.

[violinraja]

now i think the situation has changed

[tamphex]

word

[max19267]

I basically think the rep system is a good idea and wants it. But lately there are some factors that, i think, has put the rep system in hyper inflation-mode.

I´m talking about the bonus/karma/SH etc section. Users with almost no time in the forum can get sky high rep in notime (and yes i now that you can go in on profile and look whats building the rep, but that doesn´t matter much when poeople wants the rep points when giving away iinvites).

I have seen people who in october gives away TTi seedhours (gaining high rep in no time at all) and then in november asking to get TTi seedhors (and getting it because they have big rep) and so on....

I think it´s a problem for the legitimity of the rep system but understands that its not so easy to change in an easy way.

Perhaps the rep given in the bonus/karma/SH etc section should be worth less, say 50% or even 25%. That way the focus on rep sholud be more substantional.

But, as i said earlier, this is not an easy question & i definetly wants a rep system.

Cheers

[KillerBoy]

In my own opinion,I find teh rep system just perfect,as it's normal to expect something back whenever you give things first...so why not get loads of Rep points in return of being too generous tossing away free invites to people who you already don't know ? ain't that reasonable enough already...

[Azz82]

So whats your best advice, when beeing a virgin in here? Looking around, seeing if theres something of interest and then post, to get more posts =)

I am looking around and getting more into torrentinvite.com....

But it sounds like there are a lot of nice ppl in here and some very helpfull ones, looking forward getting to know them ;)

[looky98]

yeah

[delysid]

I really think there should be rules about the karma/seedhours.
e.g. I handed out bit-hdtv karma and now one of those people who farmed the karma from my thread and some other threads simply made a new thread stating that he is giving away 5*100 bit-hdtv karma.
And yes, his rep has gone up from maybe 300 to 400 in a short period of time.
It's not honest that people can get reputation so easily when they don't even contribute. They simply get some karma and then they give it away again; rinse, repeat.

It's actually really pissing me off to see the persons I gave bit-hdtv karma doing a giveaway and getting insane rep along the way.

[kalkyl]

The rep system is a good system

[lara]

yes i agree with this

[yahav876]

hmmm no ,, its good thing..

[ifkstab]

The rep system looks pretty good, if it's not rep people look at it'd be number of posts, even if every single one is spam someone with 500 posts would be favored over someone with 50 quality ones.
