An 'UP' Script...

[manike]

What we need is an automatic system that detects the use of UP in a post... if it is used on it's own or with less than ten words in a post then that poster should automatically have their post count reset to zero

So if you choose to 'up' a thread you pay the price!

Just an idea.

err up hehehe

(I had to do it before someone else did and anyway I now have more than ten words in this post and it is vaguely humerous...)

Foo--thats why he said "on its own" i think he was saying if that was the only word in the post, not for sure though, thats just the way i read into it

[manike]

If it were a sentence and they were saying anything meaningful then they would have more than ten words in it...

It would be like the 1-4-1 rule in paintball... Instant justice

whats the 1-4-1 rule?

[manike]

It's where if you get caught breaking the rules you immediately lose one of your own players. So if you cheat you get eliminated and ANOTHER player from your team gets eliminated. It happens immediately and is not after the game like penalty points.

The 1-4-1 rule is instant justice.

So if you posted 'up' the instant justice would be having your post count reset to zero I think there is something poetic in that. lol

I thought your post count only went up one per thread? I think upping is necessary in the Classifieds, especially if I'm correct on that. Otherwise people would make 10 threads rather than just up the same one 'till it was sold.

They have a "Bump" button that brings the post to the top without giving a post for it. That would be a cool feature here.
