SRL Archive - Discussions and Debates

This may fall into the category of what yohojo posted but I felt it deserves its own topic.

Though I just became a member I feel that I have as much say as any other in this matter.

The strictness on applicants just isn't enough I feel, I see people applying over and over with no real knowledge of basic coding practices.

The Solution: 2 applications per quarter

It wouldn't be that hard of a mod to add another field the the mysql table, each time you apply have it increase the number of this field. then you add the php date function see if date is past certain day and if true then set the applicationtimes to 1(if they applied.)

You would then add in some code to check if it was 2 and if true then redirect to a page preventing them from applying. Same thing would happen with people that falsified their application, you would check if they had a specific rank and if true then do the redirect thing.

Does anyone else have any ideas to help stop abundant applications from one person.

Good idea.

I don't know about the code needed to do it, but having the reason they were denied last time would help. If it can't be done then, as I have mentioned before, someone could make a thread with a list or something.

The PHP wouldn't be difficult, I could code when I get home. I'd just have to find out if vB used the same redirect function as phpBB(would be found in the login script.)

1 a month sounds right to me.. only takes 3 hours to grasp scripting

To prevent some of the applicants you could possibly have a series of questions about SRL with randomness to determine which ones on which applications and if they get more than 1 or 2 wrong have it instadeny.

That'd be nice.. It could be like a test, and some questions should be like "You want to open bank quietly, What should you do?" to find out if they looked through srl.. and some more detailed ones, to check their knowledge, like such
" I want to find out if a door is open or closed, Which method should I use?"

This test shouldn't be hard, it should be a test of how much they know.. I mean like some math test that requires you to memorize, but some just have you use your own knowledge to get the answer.

I actually wouldn't mind this, as long as the questions were not extremely hard :) I am only on my third script :) But it should maybe be multiple choice, because for "Which bank procedure would you use?" (I think it is 3, I learned that from Willow Wacker :)) I sometimes make my own procedures for that stuff :)
