Ok, so as I was posting in some other thread I was working on a program that's able to check if someone actually voted. Now I'm at the point, is anyone interested in such a thing?
As you might know all of the current implementations work something like:
PHP Code:
<?php
include("db.php");
mysql_query("UPDATE users SET votepoints=votepoints+5000 WHERE user={$user}");
echo "We've added your vote point, now click <a href='http://gtop100.com/in.php?site=12345'>here</a> to actually place your vote even though we'll never actually check!";
?>
which I don't know if it's just me but it even looks plain retarded.
What mine is is basically either a Flash or Air application you would embed into your website, you pass it the user's username (and optionally some authentication string to prevent friends voting for the person) via FlashVars and once user votes we do a callback to your site. You can add the point on the callback so only after the user votes with valid everything he'll get his point. Also means that you don't have to reward users every 12 hours even though you only get 1 vote every 24.
Now, this system isn't limited to MapleStory, any site on Gtop can use it. It's also easily modified to work with other ranking sites with some small limitation that should rarely apply.
Regards.
