Proposal: A Wiki for the site

**moreratio** · 28.01.10, 05:17

Ok, so I thinking on another thread that this site should have a wiki when Instab asked me to post the idea here, so here it is

Our wiki should be:

accessible to all / everyone can read
anonymous (no ip addresses written down so trackers cant ban us)
editable by members only (member titles)

Out wiki should include:

tracker list
cheating tools list
all those stickied posts, common info

and a cross-reference

list of cheating tools with each having it's own page - what works, what doesn't on what tracker- what gets banned if used, what options/combination of options used gets banned. testing of cheat tool (which options used) on specific tracker by who and how many users - success rate

specific tracker detection info - tracker level - and so on

Sound like a good ideea.And that way users wouldn't have to post everyday asking for every tracker the same questions day by day.

Bad idea.This means alot of work.

We had a wiki in the past, but no one used it.

We planned some new things for the upcoming update, but a wiki is definetly not there.

My thinking is this-

Sharing information is more important than sharing cheat tools. The more information we have the more cheat developers we get and the better cheat tools/mods will result. As I see it, it's a cat and mouse game. People should not be afraid of anti-cheat scripts because the bittorrent protocol is exploitable, and there will be a point in which private trackers will become so paranoid that they will be kicking legitimate non-cheating members out. If that ever happens, and it will, the tracker will collapse. It's a no-win situation that the tracker admins face. There's just no way that they can keep up, the bittorrent protocol is exploitable, that's all. Bittorrents are meant to be shared dammit. There's always a way, and people do want to share.

You can easily achieve any level at cheating by being active.On this forum information is never limited or anything like that..only some mods for security reasons.If we make a wiki we will only make things easier for the admins.They'll just look up their tracker and make better scripts based on the wiki.It will always be updated.Plus we already have tons of tutorials "how to safely use xxx tool" and so on and the number one rule: "Don't be reckless and greedy".

It's sadly, I'm work a lot of the german Wiki with anon in past, but primary it was interested, later the WiKi was sleeping because the User lost their interest...

best regards

There's cheating threads and the FAQ & Tutorials section (like SBfreak said) for that, we also divided the P2P Talk areas since BitTorrent isn't the only protocol out there. Keeping a wiki with cheating information would be doubling the amount of work.

We could always start small and build on it. It does require dedication but every good community has a wiki. I don't know what to tell you guys

**Instab** · 30.01.10, 23:36

one of the problems is that the information we share here is changing constantly so there would have to be a number of guys doing nothing else but integrating the forum information into the wiki

Don't forget about the raising number of trackers

.It would take a whole team.
