Astahost Forum Bug

Recommended Posts

Hey Asta guys (and girls). Just found a tiny bug in the astahosts forum. Nothing special, but when you click the "overal top 20 posters", you get the "today's top 20 posters".

How is the above post even allowed it's not even relevant to the topic and worst of all he is spamming in order to raise post count for myCents and this is still not fixed would be a great tool to use

Notice from Yordan:

Off topic:

 

It can be admitted that the first quoted post has not a very high quality. The post is not removed by the moderator. This means that the moderator doesn't consider the post to be spam.

This judgement of the moderator is understandable. The post seems to be on topic. And the amount of words is not that high that the myCents will increase dramatically by the post.

Suppose that 10 words make 1 mycent. The post with 5 words delivers 0.5 mycents. That is not an amount that makes it worth to put energy in the post to earn extra undeserved mycents.

 

The post counts are not transferred into mycents. So it doesn't matter if somebody tries to get a higher post count. The Mycents grow mostly depending of the amount of words in the posts. The amount of posts is not of a huge importancy for the amount of mycents.

 

The post is on topic. The poster asked information. In this case the poster asks where the link is the topic starter speaks of. The moderator gives an answer. The poster says thank you to the moderator. And the poster shows his admiration to the topic starter for finding this wrong link.

 

The words the poster uses don't make this very clear. The meaning of the post is clear though. This means the post isn't spam. And the post is on topic. And the post doesn't increase the amount of mycents dramatically.

 

Another topic is if this is the right way to point attention to a suspected spam message. And it gives a bad mood in the thread if people point to eachother and accuse eachother of spamming. There are other and more decent and more appropiate ways to notice the moderation of suspicious spam.

 

On topic

 

The link to Today's top 20 posters and the link to the Overal top 20 posters lead both to the same page. It is not just a matter of changing and improving the link. Because it seams difficult to make a page with the overal post counter. This means that it seems difficult to correct this wrong link. It is possible that to make the link work correctly the overal post counter has to be installed, it has to work and it has to be linked.

 

For those reasons there isn't much expectation that the link will be repaired.
