Thread: editting out tima stamp in ratio proofs

Shadow is correct. This was once a requirement that was made optional because of the amount of effort it would take for a tracker to attempt to correlate a time stamp with the server logs. There are 24 time zones so they would need to verify your zone first, then adjust for the server time, cross reference with several other variables and hope all of their assumptions were correct. Even a minor issue like running a speed test from a server in a neighboring state / province or daylight savings time could throw off the calculations.

We've found that trackers are far more likely to use other easier and more reliable methods to track users. E.g. The CSS exploit listed in our announcement section.

To your point, it wouldn't hurt to add this as an optional suggestion in our rules. Other optional suggestions include:

1) asking invitees to wait a few days / weeks before leaving igivers (esp for higher level invites)
2) covering quantity of PMs on proofs
3) completely covering download quantity so only a partial upload / ratio remain
4) breaking larger giveaways into multiple smaller giveaways. Ie three GFT x 5 invites instead of a single 15x giveaway
