PBW - Newbie Galactic Combat II Crisis Forum.

You know, with all the talk about cheating problems I wonder if it isn't time for PBW to introduce some sort of 'credibility system' comparable to eBay's feedback. Every time you finish a game the host could leave 'feedback' giving you a vote/credit for having played one 'good' game, or give you a 'minus' for having violated game rules or misbehaved some other way, or even flag you as a cheater if you cheated. Over time, it would be less and less necessary to have the admins intervene over cheating. People could open their games conditionally to people with 'X' amount of positive feedback, and newbie games could be run by people willing to do the extra screening to watch for cheaters.

The tough question of course is how much extra code work this would be for PBW.

Baron, that is one hell of a good idea.

It would be like a credit report.

A credit report is only as good as the participants reporting on the person's credit.

Again, a good idea.
