i am getting more fond of the ranking system of Armor Games web site, but I have a suggestion to make. Okay so my i idea or "suggestion" is to have the games connected to the rank or point system. Example. when you reach a higher score than last you should be awarded a point or two, or when you complete a game you should be awarded a couple of points mabe like 5 or 10. Now it was just a thought. It my be difficult to connect all the games that are already uploaded to the site ... Give me your thoughts...

I would LOVE to have the 30-second rule applied to the rating system, but not to have a 300-second rule. The rating system is the only user-based way of gaining AP that is not regulated, which bugs me.

Yeah... and maybe if you get caught breaking the 30 second rule you can't rate for a day :P

That would suck and maybe make people quit.

It would make the SPAMMERS quit. It's not like they are part of our community anyway.

Well, technically the spammers are part of the community, they are just the unwanted part. Like if you take a walk through a forest, you look at all the pretty flowers and cute little animals [us], but then you lift up a log and see all the bugs and parasites [spammers].

Yeah, but I meant like, no one would really care that much.

I don't see why posts get 1 AP, while comments and ratings, which are the spam-related activities, get 2 AP.

And if i saw correctly just now on somebody else's profile, submitting a game gives you NO AP :S...

You would hack getting points for playing, whilst you could have hacked the rating system and comments....yeah, that explains the point perfectly...

You cannot hack a timecounter-based system on a website. The only thing you could do is undergo 'napping', but I'll get to that term later.

Submitting a game actually gives you 20, but none of the developers care about AP.

& @Overthetop2: The point counters are a little "slow" if you catch my meaning. It takes 24 hours for the points to finally register, if they haven't done so immediately.

But there could be a solution to the hacking...since most of the games in my fav's are beatable you would have to beet the games to get the points.... see what i am saying. there is always a way to hack it but at that point there would be no point LOL

If we only got it if we beat the game though, that wouldn't be so fair. Most of us don't have as much time as others.
