We all know that clicking it over and over is not allowed (all though everyone still does it). But what about puting the link which gives you a hit as your favorites, or what if you use it for your affiliate button?

Just to clarify: The only place where the board directory link is allowed is the board directory. Anything else is cheating. Remember: the board directory hits should ONLY count how many people have come to your forum via the board directory, not anywhere else.

Wow..... then the board directory problem is worst then I thought. And no one is doing anyhting about it. Instead honest boards gave their selves in... but the rest are still getting away with it and the honest ones are being punished because now they have to be at the bottom. :(

The board directory isn't the biggest issue Brandon has to deal with right now. Come the upgrade, which is a priority, the directory will receive a make over that will give it a brand new way of listing boards without the use of hits, thus preventing that form of cheating (and hopefully preventing cheating full stop). If a board is caught cheating then it will be dealt with and if you know a board is cheating then you're free to use the report feature but Brandon doesn't have the time to go around looking for boards, especially considering the vast number that exist (it's not humanly possible or efficient).
