so is my account suspended as well??
so is my account suspended as well??
no account will be suspended but the reward will suspended for multiple IPs. You can post under same IP but rewards go to one account only (oldest account). That will insure that the rewards are distributed in a fair manner since we have no way to verify.

Re: May 2010 Top Posters mtniharika - 06-08-10 19:21 one point i want to make it fair is that people from the same household would be having the same IP address...and IP addresses keep changing often...that does'nt mean duplicate accounts..thanks...
keep going... we'll cooperate with you..
#13
Re: May 2010 Top Posters InSitu - 06-08-10 19:25 I think the best way to solve this for now is to provide only #1 poster with one reward and that may apply for next month. So only #1 poster will get paid next month if we decide to implement it.

ur welcome insitu...
u have to find a solution for this because people using doctok from public/shared computers such as a library or internet centre would obviously be having the same IP address...hope to see u with a good solution...
#16
Re: May 2010 Top Posters babbu5508 - 06-08-10 20:28 ha this looks funny, i just logged in to see that the same ip addresses would not be credited. well, i want to make it clear that i work on public/shared computers. so its natural that the ip addresses vary. and two people cannot be the same.

Re: May 2010 Top Posters babbu5508 - 06-08-10 20:30 give me one clarification, whether i have an account and qualify for the points now or they go to the so called old username of mtniharika which is not mine???

Re: May 2010 Top Posters bingousmle - 06-09-10 00:19 Hi InSitu, this is really a very confusing situation. I think this confusion has come up because of the same IP addresses. I dont know a lot of technical things but Internet cafes may have same IP addresses which I often use. I want to assure you that I have one and only one username bingousmle and I love it :)
I have no remotest connections with any of the other members other than being good doctok buddies :) and that I know them through Doctok.

Thanks so much InSitu. I am looking forward for questions which have undoubtedly helped me for my previous Steps :)

Re: May 2010 Top Posters InSitu - 06-09-10 06:24 We apologize if that caused any confusion to all of you. Since that is made maybe due to sharing same network we will pay the rewards for May but for June we will only pay #1 poster $100 reward until we find a better solution.

Re: May 2010 Top Posters bingousmle - 06-09-10 06:45 InSitu, I agree with you on this point that this is the most rational solution. Also I want to bring it to your notice that in most threads the question gets reposted instead of the supportive explanation for the chosen answer( kind of annoying)... unless someone is doing it purposely to increase the character count, I hope it is not due to some software issue...
and once again Doctok Rules... use it as a learning tool people and everyone shall surely benefit!

Yes and for that we will reject the points if the explanation is not something that adds value to the main explanation. That is a good point. I hope Adonis follows our thread.

Re: May 2010 Top Posters bingousmle - 06-09-10 10:24 Thanks for acknowledging InSitu. But I think with the popularity of Doctok the number of participants has increased tremendously. With so many participants it could be a cumbersome task for Adonis. So I have a suggestion, again i would reiterate that its just a humble opinion and you can just give this a passing reference...
what if we come up with something like the post is frozen after clicking on the send button? so that the copy paste is disabled... if someone wants to make a reference to a post one can just use the quote this thread icon..

Ye, I m closely following this thread.It is a good suggestion.
If u remember that in the begining we were rewarding the posts according to their content,but then there was a change in the policy of Doctok.As per the changed policy I was supposed to reward everything which was posted,even if it was a single letter.
Good Luck!
