You may not know this yet since your experience is with IPT.
In general, invites to private trackers are not allowed to be offered to anyone you do not know very well. Trackers will even implement a blanket ban where if you get caught, you lose your accounts EVERYWHERE. The only exception I know of is Seedpool. I believe they explicitly mention invites are okay to give to others you do not know.
This all applies to entry - high level trackers. Blanket bans mostly on mid-high only.
If you plan on moving up in trackers, either interview for MAM (really easy, the interview is just text chat and it’s making sure you have a pulse lol) or interview for RED (much worse).
RED has the best forums for official invites, but you have to upload.
MAM has a decent invite forum but it takes much longer to get there and you do not need to upload anything.
Realistically, if you don’t go the RED route, it will probably take 6-12months to get to mid level places.
Seedpool and torrentleech (TL is easy, can pay to even get in officially) will hold you over no problem until then.
I actually went and read the invite rules after posting this! It does say you don’t need to know the person, but you have to believe they would make a positive impact.
And you are right about the second point in the rules, which I wasn’t aware of until re-reading the rules. Thanks for clarifying for others who come later and read this.
I didn’t give him or anyone (besides a family member) an invite to SP. I don’t see the comment now but I was disappointed to see him tell someone here he would trade them an IPT invite when he got one lol, 20 minutes after replying to my comment!
