My question is, why are we complaining. I now it may be wrong in some stupid way but do people think it is a race. If so then let them be, I have people comming across my board all the time but none of them want to become members. That is what we should be thinking about is how to gain more people on our boards.

I can agree with you but I am going to disagree, so what are you guys going to do now. Track down all those that so called cheated, remove those boards which those people were only trying to do is get people to their board to have a friendly chat. Well if you guys are going to remove them then I think that is just more wrong then this so called cheating. |

I have previously expressed my Directory Abuse Sabotage Theory used by competing boards. The theory is that suppose there are 2 boards of the same type A and B. Admin of A might purposely click board B's directory link thousands of times so that B's name goes up the list. Then, Brandon might find B cheating and close it down. I suggested this theory to Brandon and gave a suggestion to either stop the board closing for now, or close the direcotry itself temporarily till he implements the security measures which are supposed to come in IFv2. |

We never close a board down unless a staff member from the board is the one clicking (verified in various ways). |

I see, so there was no point to this topic after all execpt that some of us think it might be a race .
Don't close direcotry, isn't they a way to keep IP address on file and if that user of the IP clicks the link again to his or her board the number will not go up and same for others. I think this is also used on public net polls. |

In reply to the above 3 posts: Yes i know the answer to it. I was just making others who did not read my earlier topic aware of the situation, to prevent them from being vitcim to such methods. I know that Brandon undoubtedly double-checks before resorting to closing a board down. There is no speculation on the matter of incorrect closure of boards. And also, yes the directory should still remain open - I seem to have changed my mind ![]() |

Why not just make it so that only 1 click per ip address actually counts on the directory? |

Its not hard to set up a program that rotates IPs. I know a board that has done that, because I'm pretty sure that was set up at the start of the '05 year. |
