Vortex Wars

Perhaps make people who are in enough people's blacklists not visible on the leaderboards- or possibly a better idea, make it so that if someone is in your blacklist, they don't show up on the leaderboards for you. Both have flaws, but either may work.

unfortunately, none of them is not possible. Leaderboards are completely decoupled from blacklist and there is no way how I could do that

I would accept it wasting too much programming time or processing power, but it is a complete lie that there is no way you could do that.

However, thanks for the response.

yea, because you are completely familiar with inner workings of the system I am using. I don't need to hide behind limitations, when something is it too computationally intensive, or eats too much traffic or it would take too long to make, I openly say so. When something is not possible, it means the system does not allow that.

There is absolutely no way that that would be impossible; it may be extremely difficult, but there most definitely is a way it could be done. I know the limits of ECMAScript well enough to know that if you are able to get the leaderboards, and able to get the blacklists, it is possible. That does not mean that it wouldn't be an unrealistic possibility, but you can't say it is truly impossible.

nothing is truly impossible in programming, there is always brute force. I would have to load entire leaderboard, which I can't do because it would overload servers immediately

Sometimes you're a jerk Rat. You know, he never said it was impossible. He said it was not possible. If you ask for someone to come to your house, and they say that's not possible, that doesn't mean it's impossible. Why even did you make this an argument.

For the same reason you opened up a week old topic to tell me that. A reason I won't remember in a week, but probably was caused by something completely unrelated.

"So you're telling me they already HAVE an awkward silence?.."

*Sigh*

"..Alright boys, turn back."
