Never suggested before. Ever. So don't even start.

I say get rid of them. Why? Because, they're totally abusable. We'll be like the PT forums, covered in spam over online credits. Also, I could just do this:

Spam all of the forums
Donate a million credits to Balmung

Fail.

Agreed.

And the fact that a page can be scripted to get 100 views in a second.

But there are a few upsides to credits.

Do you want a million credits balmung?


Cause I'll do it.


Just as though the usergroups increase spammers and trolls, so will these credits, and every update after that!

You are right about that.
But the mods would probably see that a person had a lot of credits and then check how they got those credits, then the credits that were all donated like that might be deleted.

Just a thought.

it said that using nub acc's to cheat the system can be tracked and you will get inf'd. so maybe not. but it definately supports trolling/spamming. that kinda sauks. plus map makers posting codes will hav epic amount of credits cause codes take alot of characters D:

Hmmmm, this could work, if the moderators do their job and try to reduce the inevitable spamming and trolling. It could help with the forum activity greatly.

they said this isnt the full update, there should be security to stop this but if there isnt it will be easy to notice ... a newb with 5 posts and 100000 credits will look fisshy

How do you suppose they find out? Checking IPs? Proxies.

A very good thought.
Also, major trolls will easily dominate this system.
Captain planet for example, been trolling a LOT lately, and puffer used to troll screenshots non stop, etc.
You should have a report button instead of a credit system, would be MUCH MUCH more needed, wanted, and usable.

I want a way to disable them, I dont want my activity shown by numbers...

WhiteRanger

Well, yeah but, what if this disabled, will there be a rant going on?

Balmung

I guess. Maybe not disabled, but changed.

So we can use them for Map Making, GFX, tournaments, etc.

What are the credits even for?

The post above yours explained that.

Your welcome for being pre-prepared. Read replies as well as the main thread D:

ea. you may not be able to disable them, but we could get a group of ppl who dont want them, and all donate them to one specific nub :D get a nub with an epic amount of credits :O!!

We have access to see the transfers, so anything suspicious would be noticeable.

Balmung

The mods aren't going to spend all of their time tracking down useless credits, though.

stop complaining that there pointless, donate them if you dont want them. they will hav a purpose soon enough. we finally get an update and all you do is whine, please just stop. if you hate them so much either wait untill raffle comes out and blow them all on that, or give them to sum1 else.

Yeah Credits are gonna be a nightmare if the trolling gets any worse.

Well it appears the mods are trying to keep things in check for now.

Wow I totally never thought about that. It's true that you can just make another account and spam with it and donate all of them to your main. Credits are now causing more trollers on the forums in order to get credts. It's going to get out of hand soon. I have another suggestion, put on a "message length minimum". For example, if you only type in the sentence.. "Oh wow that's cool". Then that's to short. You can have a certain minimum of like... 25-30 characters in your sentence at least to prevent trollers/spammers but that is only just an idea.

I disagree. I think we should use credits. Trolling will just cost an inflation to Prices. and raffles just have an increase of winning odds. It's honestly not a big deal. And we have no clue what rewards do yet. So before you go off disagreeing with an update that came out nearly 12 hours ago, just wait. Your not even sure if it will even cost trolling yet

True, but, until the rewards come, trolling will increase a bit.

I agree with Litemare. Let the update play itself out, and later on we can determine if the update will either be a detriment or a benefit to Pawn.

This isn't an update. It's logging in, clicking admin CP, checking credits on, and checking little boxes that decide how the system works. It could take 10 minutes if done correctly.

An update to the game is what we want

And now the forums are terribly slow.

there pointless atm

ditch credits!

Worst Case Scenario:
Guy hates another PG forumer.
Guy creates an account and posts crazily.
Guy gives credits to his enemy.
Enemy gets framed and banned by mods.
And by the way, isn't this thread just gonna give unnecessary ideas?
Another bad Scenario:
People who worked like crazy for their credits get left with nothing in the end.

I was going to post this, but I don't know why I forget, but anyways, yes I agree, we should get rid of these credits because all they do is make us troll, spam, make useless threads, and treat one enother like a piece of crap. Let's work hard to get rid of them.

Dpballer
11-27-2008, 12:38 PM
Why don't we just restrict access from getting credits unless they are earned for a contest or something. So that means no credits for post or signing in. Anyone can do that. Just make it so you have to earn them.

Rank
11-27-2008, 01:21 PM
No Dp, let's just get rid of the credits period, and let's stop making threads and even posts on it, request a mod to lock this thread, so we can forget about it period.
