Steven P. Administrators Posted December 30, 2010 Administrators Share Posted December 30, 2010 Members can now vote 50x within a 24 hour period; before it was 5 times. Subscribers Tier 1 & 2 can do this unlimited (or 200x) within a 24 hour period. Since the reasoning behind it is now limited to the technical areas, hopefully this won't be abused. The flood control for Members is also reduced to 10 seconds, from 20 seconds (before the upgrade). This has to do with our better scalability, subscribers do not have flood control. firey and Snowl 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firey Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 I think that's fair, plus the fact you can only give each person +1 rep per post.. Dark_ph0enix 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_ph0enix Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 The fact the first post was 'repped', despite not being in a technical area, seems to indicate that the 'work-around' / hack issue still hasn't been resolved? Edit -> See 'Green' above. Snowl 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderermy Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Subscribers Tier 1 & 2 can do this unlimited (or 200x) within a 24 hour period. How's that unlimited? TurboTuna 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_ph0enix Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Maybe it's unlimited for Tier 1, and 200 for Tier 2? At least that's the way I'd read that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Neo Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Good decision! (Y) 5 was a bit on the low side... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Veteran Posted December 30, 2010 Veteran Share Posted December 30, 2010 How's that unlimited? It's more rep than anyone should need, unless they rep every post they read (something we want to discourage). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another Canuck Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Maybe I'm just blind, but I don't see the rep button on posts? :\ (Chrome 10) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fhpuqrgrpgvirzhpujbj Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 How are there posts in this thread that are green with no rep button? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Neo Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 How are there posts in this thread that are green with no rep button? I'm guessing you can only give a member only one reputation point per thread. Edit: I misunderstood your post before. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee G. Veteran Posted December 30, 2010 Veteran Share Posted December 30, 2010 How are there posts in this thread that are green with no rep button? That seems to be the result of a workaround. I don't know how it's done (could someone explain it?), and I hope it can be fixed. Snowl 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye - there's a quite easy to exploit 'work around' that lets you rep non-tech posts (I repped the post immediately above my first post in the thread). I sent in a Message about it, as it became obvious as soon as the system was first switched on. Snowl 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowl Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Yeah. It's quite easy to work around the system. :( Advent 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glassed Silver Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 My guess is that the workaround is hardly that easy to turn off without digging into the rep part of ipb source code and implement a check for where that rep shall go to (aka, tech topic -> true/false?). The current method is just a simple check whether the button to call that function is the rep code is to be displayed or not. Solution: Call ipb support and ask them to fix it. Solution2: Have a dev improve the rep code. Glassed Silver:lin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
