RE: Script database - Average File Rating Problem
Calm down people :/ it's not THAT big of a deal. There's no real security risk, it'll just hurt your e-egos. Menthix said he'll fix it tomorrow so be patient.  |

It makes no sense why the database would do that. Very confusing ...
It does make sense. The voting system has/had a "security flaw" (I guess you can call it that) that was exploited.
but thats no reason to RESET the votes, and that wasn't even done, they were just all set to 0, and it still being done, i saw it get reset to 0 several times
thats no reason to reset the votes eh? then what should have been done? 
the problem should have been fixed, not fucked up more

and fixing the bug would have helped the problem how? the ratings would still be fucked up. Spoiler: the game.

RE: Script database - Average File Rating Problem
Heh  , seems like there is a flaw in paFileDB. If somebody feels like it, go to paFileDB 3.5.3 Demo and see if it also happens there. I will take a look at the code tomorrow and fix it. All the votes on each script will probably be reset back to 0 votes and no rating to make it fair for everyone.

That's just people exploiting the flaw in the voting code. I haven't reset or done anything. In fact, I haven't done anything at all in the scripts DB last couple of days because my harddisk crashed and I haven't been online much last couple of days. |
