Hey Luis, cool site, but it definitely needs moderators. I just had an experience with someone who decided that they would join the sub 15 3x3 group when they averaged 50 seconds. Said person also decided to switch to magic solves in the middle of a 3x3 game.

I don't think moderators are necessary, but instead, use what others and I have suggested: The host should be able to kick people out of the room. Or at least have a "Majority Rules" thing, where if over 50% of the room want to kick someone out, they can.

About the guy being sup-50, in a sub-15 room, can't you just issue a scramble while he's still solving? This completely messes him up, and causes him to continually miss rounds.

When he switched to Magic solves, then that's another problem that can only be solved by kicking him out.

@Luis: Maybe you could make small banners that indicate the current number of online players on TTW that we can use in other cubing sites? maybe that could encourage cubers to join in. just an advertisement idea

First, sorry to hear that some users are spoiling the fun to others in TTW. Definitely I will have to do something with that.

I can see too many 'all times' games open. If two or more fast cubers join in an 'all times' game, they should feel free to open a time limited game. And of course, hosts must wait for those meeting the time requirements, but not for the rest.

I keep on reading this thread, so don't hesitate in posting any concern you have.

Last, I noticed that some users of other forums (especially if they don't speak English in their countries) don't know what to do to ask for enhancements or where to post their questions. If anyone with access to one of those forums could add a link here (besides a link to TTW), I would really appreciate it.

I added two minor changes: fixed the problem reported by Robert, and lowered the activation time for the timer from 1.5 to 1.0 secs.

It has to have a larger user base for it to be very useful but it has huge potential

 

[Schmidt]

Just a suggestion: Would it be possible to make something like this:

[Welcome!]
[New scramble!]

[Previous scramble was: U' R' F R2 F R U' R' F U']
[New scramble!]

[Previous scramble was: R2 F' U2 R2 U2 F' R' F2 U2 R']
[New scramble!]

Honestly, I have to disagree. Allowing people to kick someone out of the room themselves will only create more problems. What if the the host decides to be a jerk and the other people just go along with it?

About the guy being sup-50, in a sub-15 room, can't you just issue a scramble while he's still solving? This completely messes him up, and causes him to continually miss rounds.

I foremost assumed that he was making a mistake, and didn't want to be rude about it. I tried to explain it to him at first, but once that didn't work, I probably should have done what you suggested.

 

[Fire Cuber]

can you add a function that can count averages?

 

[iSpinz]

can you add a function that can count averages?

I agree. Being able to record times/scrambles and calculate averages would be a plus.

 

[uberCuber]

I agree. Being able to record times/scrambles and calculate averages would be a plus.

This would be nice. As it is, I leave qqtimer open in another window and input the times into it so I can have overall average recorded, along with best avg5/avg12

 

[hatter]

It'd be cool if each player's profile showed their best time and average time (or something like that).

Maybe this could even help prevent people being sup 50 in sub 15. (for instance, if your average is 53, you couldn't join a 15 sec one).


Also, on the iPad when playing.. after each solve, it opens up the keyboard. This isn't really a problem, but I thought I'd let you know (in case someone else thinks its a problem?)

 

[HelpCube]

You need better servers. At the live competitions, there is a TON of lag in the chat box. Maybe add a donate button to the site to get people to help you out?

 

[Chapuunka]

As a few others have said, it would be nice to have the option to save the whole session (with corresponding relative statistics) to your profile, and maybe eventually be able to organize and view progress as well. Of course, this isn't some necessary or pressing addition, but it would definitely add to the site. Thanks for all the work you put into it!

 

[~Phoenix Death~]

Well, a chat with Waffo was quite amusing and fun.

 

[E3cubestore]

Yeah. So?



Shouldn't that be "smart enough to know when they do it"?

Sorry for my incohesive posting, but does this really matter so much to you Stefan?

yeah this would be cool, something like what cubemania does. If you dont know, cubemania puts averages on a graph and has multiple graphs for different puzzles. You can search other users and see their times.

 

[dimwmuni]

I'm not sure if this has been said but I believe there needs to be a way to forcedly change the host. The reason being that I have been in a few rooms where there was an idle cuber, and the host was just hitting the new scramble button once everyone but the idle cuber was done, but then the host would leave/kibitz and the idle cuber would become host, so everyone else in the room had to change rooms because no new scramble would come up.

It'd be easier to just "kick" the person as others have said

yeah, but if people are allowed to be kicked, then someone could be kicked just because some people in the room don't like them. If you can just change the host then the worst that can happen is that one person isn't able to be host.

the same thing can go wrong:
for one: who will appoint the host if the host is absent? If you say same thing along the lines of "there should be a button that says Be the host" and is avaliable to all in the room. then that would be even worse from jerks abusing it.
second: if the way to appoint a new host is different maybe there is some considering.
third: if a person is disliked it is for a reason and they can definitively be kicked for it if the majority rules.
