updating dclone tracker

it looks like currently anyone can update the tracker and there are some trolls.

so how about making it something like,

it only changes when 3 people within 3 mins updating the tracker the same way?

Updates are being worked on and this idea has already been suggested so you're gonna have to just be patient.

There are still trolls? Thought this got fixed like four days ago when I made it registered users only.

Let me know what time you saw the troll update, and I can look at logs and start issuing bans if this is still the case.

Ta, 1650778788 self reference.

If you guys wouldn't mind manning the tracker for a bit while I fly back to England that'd be great.

Bans for false reports would be amazing! There's been so many times where I rushed to my PC to get on.... only to sadly find out it was a lie. I LOVE this website!! <3 <3

Hey Teeb,

The trolls have become significantly less (like..worlds less). But there are a couple of mishaps still happening.

Some look very much like honest mistakes, just setting the wrong region to 2 or 3 when cycling through (admittedly, I've also done that once before correcting it right back after noticing my mistake).

Others seem to be intentional spreading of confusion/"baiting sales". That's setting stage to 5 (repeatedly) while it is still 4 to bait sales or setting other regions to 5 to bait folks off the actually active region. You should be able to easily identify those trolls for yesterday:

1) Americas hit 5 at about 23:44 CEST on Apr 23rd (basing that on my date stamp for my own post mentioning it in the record keeping topic). If I recall correctly, I set it to 5 myself right after it hit, just before making that post. In the hour(s) leading up to that however, someone kept setting it to 5 which we had to correct back to 4 repeatedly. That someone should go.

2) While Americas then sat at 5, waiting to hit 6, someone started changing Europe and Asia to 5 to bait people off. Europe never made it past 2 so that def. wasn't it. Asia likely never did as well though someone (isolated case with no confirmation) claimed Asia actually walked the same time as Americas. I dare say that claim was in fact based on the manipulated tracker and not an actual walk. So whomever kept moving Europe and Asia to 5 at that time should also go.

Cheers

Jesus christ lol the tracker seems to have spawned its own metagame.

Thanks for the details Schnork will be v helpful.

I actually changed EU by accident while trying to update NA

Honest mistake and couldn't even fix because I didn't know the status of EU at the time. Should add a "revert status" button for oopsies.

Also, whomever just set EU to 4 can be put on a watchlist..
(corrected back to 3)

Somebody changed EU to 4/6 five minutes ago, even though it was still at 3/6. I double-checked and returned the right value.

Haha, we must've done it simultaneously.

The easy fix would be to just setup some bot that'd cycle through realms/gamemodes, run the /uberdiablo command and update the site once a few minutes instead of relying on human reports.
And no one needs to be banned for trolling

You got an extra copy of D2R and an extra PC than can run it and stay online 24/7, paid for out of your pocket? Hook Teebling up, and I'm sure he'll be able to do the rest!

That would be the ideal case, naturally.
It'd possibly/probably break the ToS..but apart from that, yes.

Fantastic!

Should be easier for you guys to spot actual trolls now (report name is shown on the table as of 1.38 or people stuck on level 2 due to the in-game bug.

Please make sure to message them first - they might just be stuck. If you're convinced they're trolling, take a screenshot and send it my way.

Marking fulfilled.

Out of curiosity, seeing how you removed guest access, who is anonymous?
