Turbo's Prime Directive

How does the automation interact with post edits? Occasionally I'll notice a typo or a weird sentence and wanna go back and change it, but I don't wanna throw a wrench in the machine if it'll cause problems.

No one will stumble across cheating. It will be a deliberate act. There is basically only one way to do it, and it'd be very obvious to do. I'll go ahead and explain below, since it won't take a genius to figure out.

Editing is still allowed. We can't take away both delete and edit, as per the TOS. BUT I will be able to run a batch on edits, that let me see the edits. So if someone is say, posting 1000 words of gibberish, then editing to 5 words, it'll be obvious in a few ways. Mainly, their gains will be incongruent with the wc which appears on their post and their gains will have a stamp tying it to that post.

Alrighty. Then my next question will be, concerning about summaries at the end of post.

Some people, such as myself, Pin here, Wyntre, and a few others have done summaries for in case the posts get a bit too confusing, or maybe are just labeling what we do in the fights, for the sake of recording. Will these small things be accounted for with this automation or will something have to be done to account for it?

Example of what I'm talking about is at the end of this post.

Thanks for clarifying how edits work, I'll be mindful of that when considering my posts to ensure compliance.

Will you be able to check if anyone just adds a shit ton of whit text at the end of their posts? I figure that’s another easy way to abuse the system.

Purika of Universe 3 That was among the questions asked on the discord and the answer is yes, you have to ask permission to delete.

Mayze Do you mean like going through an edit to do that? That would be considered cheating, if that's what you mean.

Yurei That would be cheating, and since it wouldn't be just staff reading but other players that can report it to staff, that is not going to fly as easily as you say.

Vi-Poi With that answer to Yurei, however, it does bring up a grave issue: Due to the number of staff only numbering 4 currently for Turbo, and it is highly likely there's going be more than ten times the number of people coming into Turbo (as most of them will be from here, after all), there is going to be a large issue with people reporting another person about cheating, creating a new system of errors that will be vastly taking up time for you guys to be doing stuff outside of just staff work constantly. My question is what sort of directive will you be doing to approach this? Would you guys be bringing on additional staff for doing this or do you have something else in mind? The task is monumentally larger than the grading, I would say, in that you're going to be peeling through EVEN MORE work to do something, and have to also make sure you guys gave permission to someone to go back and edit, make sure they didn't simply copy paste some work that was once part of another thread that they had permission on, and so forth. Ergo, I must ask about that.
