Dumb mistakes | Forums

I originally thought 24-48 hour limit, and can see no arguments to make me change my mind.
The ninja community like to upload each checkpoint, but to me this could be achieved with a skippable CP track, if their reason is simply to be able to practice all CPs, and NOT to spam the feeds.
We used to have a 48 hour feed (please bring it back) so that seemed as good a limit as any...greedy to be able to have 2 tracks in it at once!

Added a poll to the OP. There are a few more choices.

You should add a poll with this thread m8, one for upload times for TC and see what the community wants? Like:

1) 2-4 hours
2) 12 hours
3) 24 hours

Just to get a jist of what we want?

The poll doesn't have my preferred option: 2-3 every 12-24 hours. Things can and do go wrong in an upload. In Evo my top-down shooter skill game would crash upon completion, when this did not happen in the upload process (obviously). For Fusion people have reported water losing it's modified properties once uploaded, and there may be other issues too. A limit of 2 or 3 per x amount of hours allows room for these mistakes

Even though I understand what you mean, I think it is probably best to keep the poll short. I personally, think it is meant to get a general idea and not stretch opinions too much.

I would say 1 track every 48hrs lol i use to put up a lot on Evo every week but i learn not to do that from now on ill only do 1 track a month i got 1 that will be up by saturday and that's it for this month but i might wait to share it cause a lot of spam on TC don't want all my time to be a waste and it get over looked cause its a really good track way better then my last track!And some enjoy my tracks!

I'd say 1 a day is plenty...I misunderstood the question because I'm an idiot and voted for a "no upload limit." 1 every 24 hours is more than enough IMO...I don't think I've ever posted 2 tracks in 2 days anyway.

i don´t think that the people who spam TC are the core-trials-players because those want to keep TC clean and make it a good place!

so i hope those players will leave in a few weeks or earlier

on which plattform is it that bad? i´m on xb1 and there are a few double tracks but nothing like track-spamming!?!?!


btw....voted 4 every 12-24 hours

A very hot discussion here!

Track Central NEEDS upload cooldown, and not just for a short 1 hour as Sebbi said, since players usually play more than 1 hour per day, and many of the spammers probably have no job and life like the one MasterBlasterX and others told about, since he's been trolling with XBL messages. Let's say these spammers play 6h+ a session, they could mock up TC with 6 tracks a day, and more if they play more than one session a day, so it has to be AT LEAST 6 hours. But I feel that is not enough. I know that some enthusiast builders make serious glitches in tracks sometimes, but that's not that often and we can learn to take some more time for testing next time. As someone (was it morillo?) talked about, we need 24h feeds back, and because it's 24h feeds, it should should not have the same name in the feeds the same time, so the cooldown should be 24h, and so everyone has more chance having their hard works in the 24h feeds up to top weekly. That will be not a shame for serious builders and the spammer jacks learn their thing, and maybe do more their homework.

My personal opinion is around 6 hours. I preferd the 1-4 hour one at first, now I am slowly leaning towards a higher number.

You can be sure that we will investigate this matter. Spamming the feeds in this way (over 90 tracks) that hold no track content is going to result in tracks being pruned. It blocks the views on tracks that have real effort put into them. I do not condone the limiting of uploads 99.9% of the time, as who is to say what a good track is? But this type of malicious and intentional spamming to block views for others goes against the nature of Track Central.
