A new view... no duplicate entries

buzzkill · January 2, 2009, 20:27

Hey PAV, would it be possible to add an option on the competition page that would allow you to view the ladder without duplicate entries by the same user. It would show only each individual users best character to date, eliminating multiple posts.

Does anyone else think this would be useful? It would be easier to get a sense of where you really stand in the ranking.

One way to do this is to only let people enter one name. At present, you can only repost under the same name if the new post exceeds the last in exp. It would make more sense if you were allowed to re-post if the new one exceeds the last in exp/turn.

But yeah, I guess being able to view both multi-entries and best-only would be better, even though I personally only peruse each user's personal best anyway: people might be demotivated after a good run that ended badly if they can't post until they've exceeded their previous effort.

*ahem* In short, I agree.
