Quoted from MrBally:No, they do not annoy me.
Me either...who cares?? I've taken the glass off just to see how some modes play out because I haven't reached them (yet) ....I play for my enjoyment only...certainly don't use it as a bragging chip...kind of silly, if you think about it....
Quoted from sevenrites:So for all you people who could care less about scores, I'm just a bit confused as to what goals you set for yourself when you play a game. How do you measure your success on the table? Oh, I kept the ball in play for a whole minute today! Oh wow, I made a scoop shot! Oh, awesome, I hit a spinner. Hey kids, check it out, dad hit the tricky red target today!!! Woohoo! This thing is cool!
Seriously, you don't play the lottery to get losing numbers do you? You're playing to win! Same with sports, same with pinball (so I thought)
Meanwhile, the pinside mods agree about preserving some type of integrity here, as this response should indicate:
"I agree with trying to keep the scores “clean” of abuse, and a flagging icon has been planned to allow the community to moderated the scores (scores with high number of abuse flags would automatically be reported to moderators)"
We dodged a bullet here people! All is well here in the world today!
My integrity is fine, and my high scores are legit, but generally compete against myself. I'm aware of my glass off tests and don't factor those. Sure the Moderators won't have a problem w that.....mark
Quoted from Gryszzz:Am I the only one with an overwheming desire to slam the OPs lap-top shut on his fingers while he's typing ?
I kid......I kid.....it doesn't matter if he's typing or not.
Agreed...however, I am a bit annoyed that Op is implying that Pinside needs to more vigilant in blatant score "faking" or "someone scamming for money".
Last time I checked, this is a public forum, supported by donations....I appreciate having it, and has added to the enjoyment of my hobby. Only so much can be done w available resources, and the site has done nothing but improve.
Egomaniacs that fix scores, and douchebags that cheat people are NOT what this site is about!!!
Quoted from sevenrites:lol, get mad and throw insults at me all you want, the whole point is to curb blatant lying and abuse here to some degree. If you don't care about scores, yet you took the time to throw insults, I hope you feel bigger than me now. Way to support those of us who appreciate the hobby in a way that differs from your prefered methods of insulting someone, which seems to be of higher importance to you than trying to get a high score or attempting to maintain accuracy on a forum some people benefit from and make use of.
No insult meant or implied....but comparing score " fixing" to people who genuinely abused the trust of others here (scammers) is a bit of a stretch.....sorry...I'm glad you enjoy the hobby, as do most of us...your point is valid....
