Thank You Hack

[RealitY]

Last I recall seeing one was on Torrentbytes quite some time ago...

Funny how all of the sudden you're starting to notice there are actually quite a lot of people grabbing nzb's here

No kidding, I can't keep up with them now.

I noticed, we are definatly going to have to figure a way to make the hack not bump threads, that way only posts that actually have legitimate questions or comments will bump the threads, as I am finding it difficult to look through every thread and see whether it is just a thank you, or if it is some one with a question or a comment.

Ive discussed a middle ground with rossco for the Thank You hack that may be better perhaps...

Members will not be required to post to grab if

• The thread already has 10 posts in it.
• Theyve made 4 posts in the NZB Section in that day.
• If they have posted 1 NZB in the section in that day.

As for the sorting of threads rossco is going to try and make some sort of hack for the section so that users can select if they want to view by last post or by thread start time.

can we have a system that automatically categorizes all the nzb content into games, movies, music...like in some of the torrent sites seen?

I am not against thank-yous, it's just a bit silly to impose such a hack system just to make the posters feel good. Besides a lot of these posts are either old movies or just crap movies, i've never seen other stuff on there, like porn or good piece of music or a good application...

i think we should have some sort of categorization system in place where every kind of content has its own place.

gets kinda boring to browse the nzb section after seeing the old stuff floating around with stupid thank-you posts...keeps coming back on top...

If you read though this thread were looking into how you can sort by Thread Start Time so members will have the option to see posts by when they were created. As for catagories weve also discussed having something similar to the torrent sites as youve mentioned. Also as for the Thank You part if you read my post above it will be adjusted to try and make a middle ground with it...

I do agree that it would be nice to be able to browse by category.

I do not agree with you saying that all most of the files are crap. For some people it is exactly what they are looking for.

Also, if you'll remember the NZB post guidlines, there is no porn posting allowed. I completely agree that there are plenty of other places to search for that.

If you have your your skin set to Synapse on the forum were putting up a fiter now if you want to check it out...

ya my bad dude, after a fresh look, some of the nzbs are actually very good, but what i mean is that we should have more variety in the content instead of just movies, games...

and also may i suggest that the forum automatically delete nzbs that is older than 20 or 30 days old, cuz some news servers actually have retention period that is shorter than 20 days and it's useless to users if there are thank-you posts that keep it coming back up on top...

It's in all skins reality...


Let us know how this filtering is working out.

There are a few bugs that will need to be fixed. One is that it doesn't save your choice when you leave the section or entire forum and come back, the other problem is realted and that is that if you click on a new page number (page navigation) the setting is lost so to fix that for now the page navigation has just been turned off if you're using the filters.

The plan is to have the setting choice stored in the database so that 1) you can browse out of the section and come back to have your same filter settings set and 2) you can browse through more than 1 page.

Not sure what those ones are like... can you post an example?

I did it the way I did thinking it kinda fits with the post icons used here.

I think he meant just a regular smilie type of icon not a post/thread icon because i'm not relaly sure how a thread icon could be used.
