Sneak thought...

Always trying to think of new ways to stop the sneaking.. Here's my latest thought. Keep in mind all your ideas.. 99% of them require help from Carbon and they are limited what they can \ will do to help me.

I sent this to my affiliate manager today

1) Can I submit you a list of people that we can give tickets to that can get into every tourney that I have. I will add to the list each week or remove people from it (If they abuse it)
2) For the same tournament can I also have a normal password for those that are new or not "trusted enough" to get the ticket entry

Sounds good Zab, I am not positive, but I think that would mean new members would have a waiting period before getting in, which is standard for some forums, but will def increase complaints.

Yes and No. They would have a waiting period to get added to the list of being able to auto get in without needing a password.

They could always get in using the password timer (Which I would decrease the # of seconds)

Sounds good Zab , you would think Carbon would be more supportive , we'll see what they say this time!

If you enter with a coupon and don't opt in, you will be removed the list for quite awhile

oh i get it now , no passwords .... this is a great idea!

Yes for people on the list no passwords.. For this to work though, I need a 2nd option for new \ people not on the list for a password

good idea with the tickets ... sorta Willy Wonka like

timer with 20 seconds a possiblity?

Its set at ~24 seconds now.. probably set it at 18 seconds or less

I think 20 seconds is plenty long. If you have Carbon open and the lobby for the tourney open 20 seconds should be enough.

Yeah maybe even 18. Having a pre approved list not needing passwords lowers the number of refunds you have to issue so tightening it up to eliminate sneaks from the ones who do get a pass is great.

The only issue is people forgetting to opt in (And don't have enough points). Then listed as a sneak etc..

Then I charge the points and they get no benefits from the promotions (Imagine if you won B2B and the 2nd time around you forgot to opt in). I guess it would be your fault though.

Sounds good Zab.....I know that currently I have missed the window by not having enough time, but I mainlly blame that on my ancient wireless router.......I love the tourney ticket idea.....and lowering the time to keep out the sneaks...whatever it takes. Good job.

Everyone knows to opt in now...I don't think there would be a difference.

i,m not sure what to tell yu ,i just always look to seee who the sneaks are an then announce it,so we as a group can work on gettin thier chips an keepin them from the money,dont always work but that is what my plan for sneaks is

very good idea, hopefully Carbon is able to make it

We will see what they say this week

sounds great do what you do best figure things out

okay, great, would be very good indeed if it works

this is also a good idea keep doing it zab this is a great idea i like it alo
