Tip # 1

- Do not post at the exact time you send the invite saying "invite sent to Dongmaster7". This seems like a no brainer, but I still see people posting things along the lines of "Hey just sent the invite to you!" in their threads. This is painting a big red target, any tracker can match up the times of your posts to the times of someone who coincidentally invited all these people at those exact times and find out your dark secret with minimal effort. Just stagger it a bit, or refrain from posting it at all (I personally edit a previous post or wait a bit to post). The safest way if you want to keep track is just edit the original post with a list, as you can't match up times on edits since it only shows the most recent edit.

Tip # 2

- For stricter trackers ask them to wait a day or so for the feedback. Nothing is a bigger giveaway than the times on your feedbacks, a nice convenient roadmap to when you handed out invites for trackers. Most of the people here can be trusted to leave a feedback, and worst case scenario if they don't a mod will manually add the feedback if they go missing indefinitely. So often times I will tell my invitees to wait a random amount of time to send the feedback (might be a few hours, or even a few days). As long as the feedback is sent within 72 hours of the invite you're good on following the rules here at TI.org, and by fudging the time a bit you can throw trackers off your trail.

Tip # 3

- If you are really concerned you can request the member delete their posts in your thread to offer even more security and protection from prying eyes, or even request that all applications be PMed to you directly, that way the public never even sees! Additionally if you do allow their posts to remain, make sure there is nothing showing that could give away their identity on trackers in their proof. It's best to hide all but the first few digits of upload/download/ratio as well as hide the entire Bonus Point number if a system is implemented. And of course always make sure your invitees are using approved image hosts (as it can protect your ip address from being logged).

Tip # 4

- Be smart, use a different email address, username, and password for each tracker you are part of and ask your invitees to do the same. A gmail account takes all of five minutes to sign up for, and it's free. MAKE SURE THE EMAIL THEY SEND YOU IS NOT THE SAME AS THEIR TI.org EMAIL!!!! And check up on them once they register, see if their username is similar, and if so inform a mod so they can inform the user they must get a name change here (don't even think about abusing this to get free name changes, I'm sure the staff would catch on and inflict some heavy punishment on people trying that).

Tip # 5

- Don't STOP! Buying, Selling, Trading, making G/A's etc
