Coding / Requesting a fix for a major way of rapidly gaining credits.

« on: March 20, 2007, 10:31:47 am »

Hey people.

Well it was pointed out to me today that there is a way of rapidly increasing your credit total with little effort.

A user would post a message with as many words as they could and instantly delete it afterwards. But the credits they gained from it would remain. Then just keep repeating and you can gain thousands in seconds. Luckily the person who let me know about this is a trusted guy and hasn't exploited it.

So I was wondering if you could create a fix for this. I have a few ideas of how to do this.

I would imagine setting something up similar to the post count were if you delete a message, the post count decreases.
However, instead of having it set constantly, have it only active for about an hour after the message has been posted.
So if somebody posted a load of words and tried to delte it within the hour, the credits would get delted too.
It would also give the admins time to see what's going on.

I hope you're following me with this and could perhaps work something out.

Cheers guys.

Peace, Lance

Coding / Quotes give you credits. Would like to disable this.

As the title says, quotes from other members are counted as your own words so you earn credits for them. People have found this out and are quoting when not necessary. Any chance this could be disabled?

Coding / Idea: Be a moderator for a day.

« on: February 10, 2007, 06:17:05 am »

Just had an idea for an item which allows members to be a moderator for a day or however long,  on a board of their choosing. Obviously, staff protected boards and such wouldn't be included. Would it be a good item do you think? And how much work would it be to set it up.

Note I'm not requesting this. I'm just trying to give ideas and inspire the coders that have the knowledge to create these great items.

Peace, Lance

Coding / Members allowed to sell their own files

« on: February 01, 2007, 07:35:22 pm »

I've had a search on the forum but couldn't find anything on this, which surprised me.

Anyway, I have only had it up and running for a day and already I have tons of requests from members asking if they can add their own files in the trade center. I imagine it to be like the file download item but members can specify an URL for their own files. Would this be an easy thing to mod?

The reason I would like this is because it is a graphics development community and members would like to sell their own PSD's and brush packs etc.

BTW, I have great respect to you Daniel and everybody else who has worked on items and code. It's a great piece of engineering

So yeah, any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Peace, Lance
