Well in that case adding or implementing a timer script would work
Something like Tips to same account add to time a function of the number of tips it receives from the same user
That or can't tip same person more than once per 1 hour period.
Except for Moderators ^^ (But there are other ways around it if you think about it so its tricky)
Still easy to abuse (as you said).
Make one account, collect faucet, deposit 0.0005, make new account, collect faucet in it and send 0.000505 from first account to it then make new account and send those 0.00051 to it after collection faucet first on it and keep doing that.
It would be easily noticed in chat though.
But it would work easily with pvp.
In an earlier post Stunna said he was going to re-evaluate the faucet and I think it is clear that the "tip" feature is not being used as intended, unless Stunna wanted to make it easier to move satoshi between a bunch of alt accounts for the players on PD.
I had always thought the faucet was to give people a way to try out PD but obviously that is not it as a one time giveaway of site script would work better. Then I thought the faucet was basically a marketing angle to keep chat active, PD's chat is a lot more active than other dice sites, and I assumed that was why. Seemed like good marketing. But I don't see how going up to 10K faucet really helps this, in fact, it would make it horribly expensive.
So given that there is no easy way to stop faucet abuse in conjunction with the new tip feature I'm guessing both will have to be revised in the near future. I'd suggest picking one in the interim.
And in unrelated area, the whole VIP room for 1 BTC was just a joke.
I agree. The faucet is a great way to try out the site, but there are actually people who sit there all day claiming the faucet. It's sad.
