Thread tracker?

[Deleted]

How about a requirement where people have to have a thread tracker? Say a link to their training thread with how much tp they gained in said thread. Over the years, people have been known to cheat with tp. Especially to people with a lot of tp, it can be hard to track all of their posts and training, making it very easy for them to add 1k of tp here or there. This can also make it easy to go back on some posts to find people taking their own training post and just to repost the entire thing. This can also work with tracking of items, creatures of hunting and etc.

How would you deal with someone who has several training threads they have accumulated over the years? How would you deal with changing techniques from revamps either? As I've experienced, staff is a lot more vigilante than you'd think and those who have a lot of tp also have the most to lose by attempting to cheat. A 70% tp reduction is not worth trying to sneak some tp here or there.

You could do this for your own personal use.

I mite do this for myself, at least to keep track of which ones I am currently in.

I keep track of all of mine. I list every technique I've learned in order with the amount, so I can quickly count how much I have in each thing etc. Don't expect everyone else to do that, and it would likely overcomplicate things, putting more people off than it would catch for the sake of what is likely a very small proportion of the site.

I do, however, make use of the bookmarking system to bookmark all the threads I'm currently in, that way I'm notified of any update within them

Some peeps have thread trackers in their bios or sigs, but it's not that big of a deal. Like Snow said, staff are pretty aware of what everybody's doing. If somebody's cheating they'll get caught eventually.

Staff is not actively looking unless some changes become big, even then staff sometimes protect other staff.

That is not true at all snow, it has happened before a few times, you're an example of someone who had a lot of tp and tp cheated in the past. You're really a prime example of why it should be should be a requirement. Like, how long was you cheating you in the past until you were caught? People didn't want to believe it and came up with excuses on "why" they didn't notice. But besides that, let go back to the training threads, since it something be new, they can find go back and find many as they can. It be more or less something for keeping track of going forward and preventing present and future. For changing on jutsu, style etc with jutsu, you can just post in said thread tracker, saying "removal of this jutsu for this because of change." "replace old jutsu with new version" and so on. So something like that is very simple and very easy implement. In fact, most rp sites I've been on with a dnd like system or in depth system like here will usually have a thread tracker system.

Hey there! It not very complicated at all, it just be something new for people who are not used to it. We do a similar thing already for when big changes happen or free tp, we post in our bio about for those update and what we change (to some extent). You wouldn't need to do it for say, rp tracker unless you had some big change, buying or selling to another pc or so on. Do you need posting in a thread tracker saying "here training thread in earth" with the link to it? Or "exit training thread, gained 500 tp inside of it"?

Yeah. So believe me when I'm speaking from experience here. The 200 tp I got from cheating was caught in a few weeks and rather handedly. I lost over 7k tp which is still more than your entire TP total. And I had/have a lot of friends on staff myself. Aside from myself, I don't know if anyone else who got a TP restriction like myself and is even still actively role playing here. All the "numerous times it's happened" have ended with someone quitting the site and their character essentially axed. The last person I can even recall this happening to was Gohan actually and that was more than two years ago. Again, if you think staff cover for other staff or that we aren't vigilant I'd like you to point out which members of staff you'd think aren't morally committed to the embetterment of the site. Beyond that, with your expectations of the staff team, I'm not even sure how you could think this process would help. Essentially this would just be something staff used to police everyone including themselves. But if staff is the ones covering for their other staffers what would even be the point? I think it's actually quite annoying that we are dealing with vague notions here and that you're trying to use my personal example as if you can tell me whether or not my own mistake was "worth it." So let me set the record straight. I lost months of my work, which would equate to several years of your work, over something I could have done on a lazy afternoon.

So I'm taking this rather personally because your going after the staff team for protecting each other. Despite the fact that you're talking to moderator who was punished by his staff peer group both before my time joining in staff and later as an assistant for other discipline problems. How much we like each other doesn't change the rules that we enforce and your insinuation that we give each other special treatment is born out of somewhere that hasn't had any precedent. So essentially, show me some evidence unless you're just making stuff up.

Do you think someone is cheating? Do you have an evidence of something like this happening? If so feel free to report it. But asking us, especially those who have been around for years with dozens of scattered training threads used in missions, tp rewards from epics and to go through it all and audit it for a tp total is absurd. I alone have over 150 pages of training on just two threads and finding out if someone is cheating is a lot simpler than you think. You'd be surprised how in touch you are with people's Tp totals when you are constantly grading threads. It's very easy to tell if your work has been copied or plagerized too. Again. Been there, done that, got the T shirt. It sucks.
