Those Who Use Page Refreshers Will Be Banned

a friend of mine got banned from the site indefinitely because they say she was using a page refresher, but I know she wasn't. She was rating everything she could to gain levels. She spent most of her day, the whole 12 hours she could doing that, and they suspended her account indefinitely. Who can I contact to fix that, because they did the suspending unfairly. I know she was not cheating the site. Her username is ShiaTheSorceress, and if this is not fixed, neither she nor I will come on the site that bans people unfairly

I talked to someone and I decided I missed a fact to tell you. She was pulling up multiple profiles at once and was rating them quicker, which as far as I know, is not against the rules. If I find out differently, I can tell my friend. For the timebeing though, her account should not have been suspended barring on a flaw in the system which says you can only view so many pages in a 12 hour period. I have been very close to that myself, having viewed 8000 some in a 10 hour period... so I would have been suspended myself had I stayed and rated? That really does not seem fair or just at all. I like this site, and she was starting to like it almost as much as I do. But I may quit the site if this is not sorted out. I really don't want to deal with mine getting suspended for the same reason without even knowing it.

Over the course of 7 days (75 hours), she viewed 55,563 pages.



So let's examine your argument. You say she was simply rating things. Ok, let's look at what is possible:



Database: 30,770

Profiles: 13,925

Portfolios: 4,379

Member Articles: 156



Total things possible to rate on the ENTIRE site: 49,230



The database figure includes ALL databases (Vampire Rave, SciFi Section, Power Punks).



So, you're telling me she rated every single thing on all Dark Network sites in under 7 days and had 6,333 pages left over? She deserves an award! Surely she is the first member to rate everything, and she did it in only 7 days!



Well, let's look a little further. You see, I can see what people do on the site. Let's look at what she actually rated:



Database: 1

Profiles: 9,843

Portfolios: 1

Member Articles: 0



Total things she rated: 9,845



Uh oh. Somebody is lying. I don't like liars.

Maybe she just rerated the same portfolio 45,719 times.

You can't suspend people for being indecisive!

In this world of The Dark Network there really is a God who sees all, hears all, and knows all. When will they ever learn that on this site there is one person you will never fool?!

pah, the nerve of some folk its taken me months of hard work and around 8 hours a day on average of incessant rating to reach 70,000 pages, there is no way it can be done in a week without cheating

>> Now, if you were Microsoft, the update scheduled for release on August 1 would have to be pushed back, at least until 2011.



>> Just don't be creating Vampire Rave Vista Edition and everything will be all right.







Thanks Birra. I think he cursed me.



I've been working every day on the project. Virtually non-stop. I'm pretty sure I've over the hump and more than 50% done.



However, I don't see me finishing this thing by the end of July. It will more likely be mid-to-late August. Then there's still the beta test period, which will probably run at least 2 weeks, but it it may run 4-6 weeks.



I'm running into scope creep. It's an industry term that describes the tendency for a project to grow in scope as development progresses. New features are added, new ideas implemented, and the project just keeps growing and growing in size.



On the positive side I'm happy with the work I am doing and accomplishing. The code I'm writing is very complex. This is by far the more difficult and complex project I've ever undertaken.



Shooting for an August 15th beta test...

He puts a jinx on me all the time. Especially when it comes to web work. "It should be pretty simple."



BAM. I know it's going to be hell.



As long as you don't create a Vampire Rave Vista, I'm okay....

That is just project management. Take however long you anticipate the project will take, and triple it. That is the minimum. Project complexity does cause it follow a pretty skewed curve on an exponential basis...



Works the same with home improvement.



"I can get this roof torn off and reshingled in a weekend." Three weeks later you're stapling tarps to plywood to keep the rain out.



"This bathroom remodel should only take a couple months...." A year later you're still bathing in a creek because Home Depot screwed up your tub order for a 4th time and you've decided to build in the 12-pulsing shower heads with waterfall option and glass block wall and go with the spanish ceramic tiles around the vanity...



We're patient, man. We know you're cooking up good stuff. And as long we don't get a warning box asking us if we're sure we want to navigate away from the page we're on with every mouse click, it'll all be good!



Pffftt. Vista.
