it comes back to what was said before about automating some of the player updating process. the login details for the forum are in a table somewhere, and there's (theoretically) no reason we couldn't generate API keys and add them to that table (for example), and pass them to other applications we piggyback off this forum's database (like googledocs/forms).
it all comes down to what permissions jcink gives admin when it comes to the forum database, really. on an independent server, im about 90% certain i could write something to do this though.
That would be awesome if you could get access to that table to see if it's possible. That way we would be able to verify someone's identity.
Quote:Nothing stopping teammates from getting player passcodes and doing PTs for them that way though
I don't see anything stopping teammates from giving passwords to each other and logging into their accounts to do it either. I guess the mods can see IPs and track those, but I don't know if the graders are trained to verify each entry is from a unique IP or already identified as a possible duplicate in the Shared IP thread.
