exactly, but also the lamers with the "xxx has turned you into a whore of warcraft" will be banned on sight.
Also for the cheaters and proxy voters, you don't stand a chance :). Our designers are already working on a script, that will verify every vote, like the person told us in this thread :)
Thnx for the tip btw.

Edit: Ok now my sig points to a RZ thread also...
Btw: Alot other users have their mu online links or god knows what in their siggys and nobody told them anything...
those people are noobs lol.
If there are people with any idea's about the toplist ;)! LEMME KNOW!
:juggle:
Suggestions:
1. Remove the content ads, they are very annoying, if you have sponsor links then that means they contribute with some money to your top so no need for ads (a decent host is 7$/month with free domain name included so I'm assuming the sponsors can come up with that much).
2. Reset votes every month (I suggested this cuz we passed into November and I see the votes are still there)
3. Allow banners to show in first 10 not only in first 5.
4. Increase the banner size limit, cuz most mu servers have their banners animated.
5. Remove the options of people to upload their banners on your server (this to prevent bandwidth/space loss when if you take into consideration my #4 suggestion).
6. The auto voting script still works, is your anti cheating script done yet?
7. Get more people ^^ (well I know you are aware of this one already)
That's kinda all for now.
1) they are used on a big scale, to see if the are efficient. We might change it, we might not. It's not directly bugging you like google ads, popups, spyware, popunders
2)Time now: November 5, 2006, 1:04 pm | Last reset: October 25, 2006, 10:15 am | Next reset: November 24, 2006, 9:15 am
3)Good one, has been done
4)done
5)done
6)Working on it, we are checking all sites manually tho.
7)We don't wanna spam ;) So we just contact some important people.

Here, I thought I should save you the trouble and made the anti-cheating script in 20 minutes. Of course I don't have your page php codes so I only hinted where these codes should be placed, I wrote above each where it should be placed, and I'm sure your coders will know what to do with them.Quote:

$link = mysql_connect($mysqlip, $mysqluser, $mysqlpass);
$db_selected = mysql_select_db($mysqldb, $link);
?>
This goes in the voting page form (the form with 2 buttons where the voters have to chose Yes to vote).
Code:<?php
// Generate the random verification number and the index number that will define the random number in the database
$random = rand(11111111,99999999); //let's say it generated number: 31659613
// Connect to the mysql db
require_once "mysqlconfig.php";
// Now we store the number in the db
$query1 = mysql_query("INSERT INTO $mysqldb VALUES('$random')");
// Send the random number to the next page
echo "<input name='random' type='hidden' value='$random' />";
?>
This goes in the next page where the vote is registered (before the voting code)
Code:<?php
// All this should be placed before the voting code so if it's a fake vote it will stop before voting.
// Request random number from form (not from db)
$random = $_REQUEST['random']; //31659613 in our case
require_once "mysqlconfig.php";
// Call for the random number from the db
$query1 = mysql_query("SELECT RandomNumber FROM $mysqldb WHERE RandomNumber = '$random'");
// In case it's not found it will show error so we cur that part of html code with <!-- and -->
echo "<!--";
$result1 = mysql_result($query1,0,0); //
echo "-->";
// If there is no value in the db it means voter used 3rd party script (which couldn't write values in your mysql db)
if (empty($result1)) {die("Dont Cheat!");}
// If it's found in the database it means the voter used your voting page (which can write values in your mysql db)
//Clear the random number from the DB
$query2 = mysql_query("DELETE FROM $mysqldb WHERE RandomNumber = '$random'");
// Continue the voting process
?>
This script practically does something a 3rd party script can't do, write a random number in the mysql db and checks it on the next page before the vote is registered, if the number is in the DB it means that the voter used your script which wrote it in the DB, if the number won't be found in the DB means the voter used a 3rd party script that generated the number but didn't write it in the DB... after it verifies the number it will delete it from the DB so each number can support only one vote.
I tested it and works good. Of course it can be modified to include many more features, you can include for it to register IPs, time, date of users who voted and users who tried to cheat the system with a fake vote... alot can be done to it to increase your security, I'll leave these things to your coders, what I done only blocks the fake votes nothing more.

Enjoy ^^
Why cant I edit my banner?
Hehe I find this funny, they talk about their history, in this case Frienz, they mention how they thought of running a MU Server but no where in the history is RaGEZONE mentioned, the place where mu private server started from, and yet they come and advertise on our forums.
here's the link to their history site:
Welcome to TopMMO.net - The ONLY Cheat/Fraud-Free Toplist! - The Frienz Network
They say they got the files from rz tho.Quote:
Las3r started to look around on ragezone for some basic server files.
