The "Top Ten Idea" is used in very few websites, and are hard to find. Like Facebook. It's called mindjolt and the Top Ten Idea is used there.
If you don't know what the Top Ten Idea is it's an idea for ArmorGames.com to get a leader board for games. Like if you were to play Indestructable Tank 2, and you wanted to know if you beat so and so, you could check the leader board!
Hrm, this is actulla yone of the better ideas. So you mean like ocne you finish you could submit your score and try to get onto the learder board? I like it!
This idea is one of Kongregate's marketing functions. Let me tell you the problem:
When you and I play a game and you make a fantastic score, it will not turn up on the leader board. Why?
Because Kongregate has felt the power that hackers and abusers have discovered in leader boards: They simply find a weak spot, and cheat. I mean, who can get a number like Pi on Bubble Tanks? So there you go, and don't tell me "I'll be a good person" tell that to 200,000 users. And I bet that about 100 of them are hackers, because every good site does.
For only the site? In that case, I'm sure it's been suggested before... also, this feature was implemented on Kongregate already for the top...30 scores?
Anyways, it's a good idea but it's not great, and I don't think it's a very important upgrade right now.
unlimited, it really isn't that hard to flag the hackers. let them keep hacking, but their accounts will be banned. we do the same thing on kongregate....

How do you flag hackers? Not possible because their is no way of knowing, unless we saw them on the leader board. And let me tell you a little story I experienced on Kongregate:
(Please note I'm not trying to tell not to go there, in fact, I play their myself. This just happened to me)
I once sat happily in a chat room, and though I admit when I first joined I had a bit of fun being a little flamer, I quickly stopped because I knew it was bad. I want you to imagine two flamers meeting one another in a chat room. You get the idea. NOW IMAGINE FIVE flamers in there. Someone just dropped a bomb on Kongregate. Luckily I found a whole chat room with almost ten mods. I ask them if they could sort it out. What do they say? They don't say anything. They never replied. They just ignored me and continued talking. Three times I posted, and watched them disappear in a long conversation. Kind of sad. So don't use Kongregate as a good example, because compared to armorgames, it's a deserted island with cannibals on it.
