Hats off to http://torrentfreak.com/
They did an amazing job once again with this article, because the torrent community had to read the other side of the story (our side) as well.

All of us have to post on THIS topic and tell our opinion.

There are great users who traded or bought an invite in the past. And of course many good users applied in a GA thread because this was their only way to get into a good private tracker.
Users with seedboxes, who donated a lot, who invited their real friends, who uploaded torrents and participated on the forums.

It sucks big time all these good users to be blacklisted from the trackers.
