2.1 TSWVote 2.3

They change the Rank only, but don't affect the most-voted rating. That is one dedicated hater... Erase my dislikes too, please?

 

A suggestion: Make every vote (Like and Dislike) have its "lifetime" variable and set it to, say, 1 month. Once that lifetime hits 0 - remove that vote. That way we will have a more realistic rating representation, tuned to the actual standings of the server.

 

Just FYI, that should affect the website votes too. (I'm not sure, what are you going to do with the plugin and in-game voting API)

 

Thank you all for the comments and feedback. I've added some additional server side checks to validate the player. I will consider some of the ideas here when I get some more free time. We will have to wait for Loganizer to implement threading so it doesn't lag the game when a vote is placed. A new version will be released next week. We both appreciate your patience while we work to improve the project.

 

I have 2 suggestions.

1. Make an option to cause events to happen on x amount of server likes. For example an eclipse would occur on x amount of likes.
2. Have an option to bump a server in-game.

 

That's why you have a captcha in the voting page, and being able to just type /vote in game is cantaloupe, because you could also just force users to cast /vote on join.

 

If you're going for captcha's please use these ones link here since they're way less annoying than those text based captchas

 

Why not add a captcha in-game

 

What would that look like lol

 

I hate CAPTCHA's, that is the last thing I want to do.

 

/vote captchahere, but yeah he's not doing it x)

 

Yea but it's not like a plugin can't read what the captcha should be and still fake the votes, such a captcha isn't going to do alot then

 

Uuh, never mind, there's REST token, lol

Spoiler

An in-advance security tip - if you're planning to notify servers via a REST endpoint - make sure REST endpoint only accepts data sent by your server.
Either by verifying IP, or by verifiying signature (take md5 of parameters, then encrypt with private key, plugin decrypts with open key and verifies md5).

 

Yeah, well... without a CAPTCHA, have fun having people exploit it by doing exactly what I said... just forcing all users to execute /vote as soon as they join or just setup proxys to vote 100s or 1000s of times.

 

It's a nice concept.

 

While I agree, it's a last resort. If I can find a way to do it without a captcha then I will. In-game captcha is not impossible.
